One of the more interesting theories/ideas I’ve heard on the merging of the two worlds is the shadows that are so constant within Lain. Even from the beginning, what the viewer thinks is reality is skewed and warped as Lain begins to see blood drip from the telephone wires and warps from place to place, the Wired seems to be asserting some control on reality. Much like the dream world and reality in Christopher Nolan’s Inception, there is no clear-cut answer as to when Lain is in the “real world” and when she is in the Wired. The idea that reality and the Wired are intertwined is one that has varying degrees of ambiguity depending on what episode of the show you’re looking at and the viewer’s interpretation of what’s real. Religion, existentialism, morality, and utilitarianism are some examples of what I’ll be looking at.įirst off I’d like to look into one of the most constant themes of the show. Even though Lain itself has a lot of material packed into twelve episodes, that MATERIAL has a lot of material packed into it, especially the philosophy side of things.
Granted, as with most things in Lain, I won’t be able to give a complete 100% breakdown of all the thoughts, theories, and questions posted here but I’m going to try to provide context for why they’re being mentioned and what relevance they have in the show as well as my own interpretations or answers to questions if they’re relevant. To begin with I’ll try to approach this article by breaking it down by each category I want to cover. But as I haven’t gotten to write out a proper article about the philosophy in Lain as the show presents it and my own thoughts. There were quite a few topics I still could have covered that I hope to get to in the future, notably Psychology, Sociology, and Technology within the world of Lain as well as whatever other thoughts come into my head once I sort out my thoughts a bit more. I mentioned I was going to take a break from writing articles about Lain (unfortunately for the most part this meant a break from writing at all) so I didn’t burn myself out but now that it’s been over a month since my last article on Lain I’m raring to go again. Hey everybody, here again with another Lain article.
