Essays on Avatar

There are a number of potential moral lessons that could be drawn from the film Avatar. One could be the importance of respecting and co-existing with nature, as the native Na'vi people do on their planet Pandora. Another could be the dangers of greed and colonialism, as embodied by the human characters who are trying to exploit Pandora's natural resources. A third moral lesson could be the power of love and understanding to overcome differences, as seen in the relationship between the human protagonist Jake Sully and the Na'vi princess Neytiri. Ultimately, the moral lesson of Avatar is up to the interpretation of the viewer, but there are definitely a number of potential messages that could be taken away from the film.
