There are many different views around the world concerning the environment. Many different cultures interpret the environment in many ways. The Japanese culture and the American culture had portrayed their environmental views through the movies, Princess Monoke and The Lorax. Both movies had shared common views and had involved different morals that applied to mankind. They also had different interpretations of the environment in which made the two movies different. .
The movie Princess Monoke consisted of a number of important characters. Two of the main characters were in fact Princess Monoke and Ashitaka. Princess Monoke was the daughter of the Wolf god. She had represented the humans that really care for the environment. The Wolf god, Maro, was one of the protectors of the forest. She had helped look after it. Ashitaka was a prince of another village who was attacked by a demon god. He was in fact a character that represented a person who later realizes what is being done to the environment. He, in a way, is portrayed as the peacemaker. He can see that humans do what they do to survive, but he also sees that other things can be done without putting the environment in danger. He represented the belief that everyone has the ability to take care everything around us. From the demon he had extracted a curse that was slowly killing him. He went to figure out what was causing the curse. He came across Iron Town. A town led by Lady Eboshi. She in fact had caused this god to turn into a demon. It was her iron ball that had killed and turned that god into a demon from the inside. Lady Eboshi was the head of the iron business. Lady Eboshi is seen as those who do what is needed to be taken care of. She dose not realize that true harming of what she has done until it is close to being too late. She is in some ways similar to the character of Jigo. Jigo was a character of greed. He in a lot of ways did whatever was necessary to get what he wanted.
