Heros/Villains

Editor's Notes

  1. Childhood - Emerging from the dark cave, the child is bright, full of light (innocence, purity) and the surroundings are full of blossoming flowers, lighted skies. The angel leads the way on the river of life.
  2. Youth - The voyager is confident in continuing his voyage toward the bright castle in the distance (symbolic of the daydreams of youth). Still the image has bright colors, man is wearing red, showing his passion for his journey and the angel still leads the way. There is no more blossoming flowers but the foliage is still abundant and green.
  3. Manhood - Trouble awaits the traveler in the form of turbulent waters. The lighting changes and In the background there is light but not in the present moment. The trees are no longer green and full of leaves and the rocky terrain is menacing and foreboding. The man is praying, suggesting by Cole that only prayer can save the voyager. The angel is the top corner can be interpreted in two ways - a calm, helping presence or nature’s fury.
  4. Old Age - with old age comes the light of heaven. The voyager leaves behind the dark clouds of manhood and moves toward the lights of heaven, now with divine intervention. The helm of the boat is gone symbolizing the past, and how it can no longer be re-lived. The voyager is seated, acquiescing to his age and accepting his fate. The ocean beyond the mist is the end of life (Now Voyager).
