Gnosticism and ‘Lost’: The Issac Complex

Posted by klintron on May 13, 2009

Edward Wilson guest posts at Hatch 23 concerning the “non-freudian father issue” he’s dubbed “The Issac Complex” — “this father issue centers around the father’s betrayal and abandoning of the child.”

Wilson notes: “Given the Gnostic themes of the show it behooves me to point out that the ultimate example of the bad dad theme would be the Gnostic Demiurge or the bad creator god.”
