Symbols, Kurt, & an archetype in transition

[misqueue]

Very quick meta because I was thinking about the ram statue in Kurt & Rachel's apartment. It adds to the changing symbols surrounding Kurt in NYC. He's not getting the wings and flying things so much; he's getting symbols of power and virility and aggression (shark [teeth], the wolf, and now the ram).

The ram is definitely a rebirth symbol associated with Spring and the Sun. The sun, of course, in Jungian terms is the actualization of Self. Which means, I think, Kurt is in transition from being an Animus archetype into his full self. Which makes sense given how much he is flourishing in NYC (the meltdown with Blaine aside).

So yay, Kurt!

We see the ram behind Finn though, so maybe we're meant to be associating its implicit virility with Finn's continuing quest To Be A Man. Or, it could be both.

I find this kind of meta really fascinating and I wonder if it's consciously integrated into the costume and set or if its incidental (not knowing a lot about the skills or job of costume and set design).
