The Symbolic Intersection of Desire and Cannibalism

Posted on December 3, 2025February 20, 2026 by Atala Johnson

Victoria Mulli mulliv@lakeforest.edu Staff Writer Cannibalism and the innate desire for human connection are two seemingly polarising concepts in a literal sense. Our taboo perception of cannibalism stems from the psychological essentialism of human essence, which is ingrained in our contemporary culture. It is what roots our tendency to see personhood and identity within one another, and subsequently, in our flesh. This notion of human essence prevents us from viewing ourselves and anyone around us…

Melanie Mandelke ’29mandelkem17@lakeforest.eduStaff Writer Movies can serve as seasonal milestones for us. They can set a mood and prepare us for the month ahead.

Usually, the months between announcement and release are filled with Easter eggs, lyric reveals, lead singles and interviews that set the tone. The absence of those traditions led to far less anticipation than usual, even…
