In this episode, we’re unpacking the intricacies of thematic resonance in the children’s animated film The Iron Giant, which teaches us that we get to choose who we will be regardless of what the world makes us. Join us as we discuss the art of making your themes connect with people, the importance of emotional payoffs in storytelling, and how multiple metaphors can coexist without overwhelming your audience. Our conversation also touches on the significance of perspective in storytelling and why nuances of setting are so important. We define what “resonance” actually means in storytelling, and wrap up with 3 practical steps writers can take to effectively convey theme through character choices and conflicts.
