Uncivilized Elk | The Meaning of Finn's Journey in "The Hall of Egress" (Adventure Time) @uncivilizedelk | Uploaded March 2016 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
"The Hall of Egress" is one of the most abstract and open to interpretation episodes of Adventure Time. I dive into the deep end to dissect this episode from my personal perspective to expose what I think the episode means and represents. I explain potential allegories, discuss meanings, overlay the episode onto the Hero's Journey, and compare it to a couple other fictional works that jumped to mind while I was constructing this explanatory analysis.
