The Metaphorical Puberty: The Overtures of Self-Love in Home Alone by Gumby Orgy, a literal child, Mrs. Johnson's 3rd grade class hours of sleep in the last 48 hours before writing this:  not enough proofreading/thought behind this: very little to none Home Alone is a metaphor for the Christian belief that masturbation is sinful. The movie starts off innocently enough, with visions of an early incarnation, or a Hollywood glamorization, of a Quiverful family. In an unlikely series of events, the family goes on vacation and leaves Kevin at home. In contemporary Christian teachings, Kevin's family leaving him behind is akin to that of God abandoning Kevin. One can presume Kevin to be a normal boy with normal thoughts. As the following video will show, males are prone to masturbation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7PuPHsumhQ While alone, Kevin goes through a montage of fun things to do such as eating ice cream, playing with daddy's aftershave, shower, and watching movies. All of these are metaphorical references to the act of pleasuring one's self, or masturbation. Kevin eventually has to defend his home (a metaphor for his soul) from robbers ("Satan"). Through this trial-by-fire, Kevin is redeemed, much like the oft shat upon character Job from the canonical Bible. Only in this case Kevin was not an innocent bystander. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WEJuccFWjY As seen in this clip, one of the robbers is getting electrocuted. Like much of the movie, the electrocution is analogous to the Christian rite of casting out demons. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMpcvHfUM4w Modern Christians believe prayer is active defense against evil. Just like praying sets traps against Satan, Kevin set up traps for the robbers. Once Kevin successfully battles and defeats the robbers, his family (God) returns to his life and he is happy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbUeK1PP7-s And they all lived happily ever. OR DID THEY.  Welp, that's my post.
