The shell that pennywise tried but failed to shatter: It (2017) and it chapter two (2019)

It (Muschietti, 2017) and It Chapter Two (Muschietti, 2019) have similar contexts with the creation tales of The Iroquois Confederation varied as The World on the Turtle's Back and Skywoman Falling. Accordingly, the creation myth in Kabbalah has designated the maturation process of Man and the conflictions that he faced during his journey from the lowest Sefira to the highest. The tales which adverted a woman who fell from the sky and shaped the world on a turtle's shell, have constituted the natural cycle and harmony of the world emerging from the sustained battle between her twin grandchildren. In this respect, a spiritual and humanitarian effort has been ascribed to these tales. It has centered the same view as the spreaded fear and terror of the villain Pennywise (a.k.a. It in the macroverse) have originated from the conflictions in Kabbalah and spiritualism while the soulful journey of characters necessitated a progression with their free-choices. © 2024 Peter Lang Group AG, Lausanne.
