Get LOST
However, we all still know that something is funky, and somewhat mystical,
about that island. Well, after seeing Constantine
[with its reminder in Catholicism], I got a great new theory about what
the island in LOST really is. The best part about the theory, is
that it allows anything to happen on the island. Don't be surprised if this
is how the series ends. But again, it is just my theory.
What is the Island in LOST?
Lets take a look at some of the facts about this island:
- It has been continuously
repeated by all characters that the island represents a 'second chance.'
- The island has some giant mystical creature that kills at will. However, this creature confronted Locke and let him live.
- Ever since Locke lost the ability to walk [for reasons we don't know], he has always dreamed of outback adventure. Upon arrival to this island, Locke is given another chance
with renewed mobility.
- Boone was tested by the island through a hallucination about his stepsister
- The island plays host to a renegade 'tribe' that has no problem hurting
the LOST survivors.
- A lot of the characters past experiences have been re-structured somewhere on the island.
- All of the characters can be good people, but most are stubborn and
all have some skeletons in their closet.
- The island showed the ghost of Jack's father. This ghost led the survivors to fresh water and shelter.
- The show is titled LOST [a fact I will explain later].
- The show has mentioned faith, luck, and Catholicism more than a few times.
- These people survived a plane crash. Sayid knows that there survival should have been impossible.
Let us stop the list there and think about all these amazing facts; and
lets also throw in the bit about Catholicism. First, there should have been
no way that any of the passengers could have survived the plane crash. The
plane split in half for Christ sake! And now that they are on the island,
why does the island continuously test the characters to prove who they really
are? And why is this island always considered a second chance?
The 'Survivors'
Characters in LOST are Dead
I am not going to dive in to deep on how I could figure they are dead because the next part will explain it all. But, the plane split, crashed, and rolled; something nobody could survive. Remember, the first episode begins with Jack going through the jungle
to get back to the plane crash. This means that he was either thrown out of the plane or fell out while it was coming down. His body landed somewhere else on the island, causing him to have to seek out the initial crash.
How could he possibly have survived? How could a cripple walk again? Well,
lets take death one step further. There is only a few places you can go
after you die. One place is Hell, one place is Heaven. The only other place
is where you go if you are given a second chance, known in Catholicism as
Purgatory. When you enter Purgatory, you are known to be 'lost in Purgatory.'
LOST Takes Place in Purgatory
Purgatory is the easy solution to what the island of LOST is all
about. These people died in a plane crash, but their pasts are so messed
up that it is hard to decide if they were to go to Heaven or Hell. Instead,
these characters are unknowingly given a second chance on an island setting
in Purgatory. For all the skeletons each character has in their closet,
it is time for them to make right, or wrong, on their ghosts. When a character
dies, or leaves the island, I believe that it is a symbol of them being
taken off Purgatory, but leaves the other characters to still decide their
fates.
The creature that none have seen [but Locke] is just one of the instruments
of pulling people out of Purgatory [by the imagery of 'killing' them]. In
order to speed the process, the island puts forward multiple tests to test
the underlying character of each remaining 'survivor.'
Purgatory explains why Locke can walk, why Jack saw the ghost of his father,
why Sayid and Sawyer heard the whispers of ghosts in the jungle, why there
is a giant creature, why they 'survived' the crash, why Catholicism has
been brought up, why everyone admits the island is a 'second chance,' and
why the show is appropriately titled LOST.
