The adversity of which the hero in <Spirited Away> experiences is the same process of maturity in which heros in fairy tales unavoidably undergo. As heros in fairy tales reborn through initiation with adversity, the hero in <Spirited Away> also reborns through adversity. This film follows the patterns and characteristics in fairy tales, i.e. initiation, heroism, antagonist and protagonist. Also this film expresses images of heros in blue, white, red colors through the symbol of water.
As a symbol of water, Haky, the dragon, is an important character, who emphasizes the characteristic of motherhood with blue and white colors.
