However, there have been insufficient in-depth research on the types of love the two works have. Therefore, this study will focus on how the types of love in the two animations mirror the concept of love in Plato's theory of Eros through the analysis of two films' characters. The desire for memory and recovery can be seen in , and glimpses of each phase of aim towards changes in physical appearance can be shown in . These describe the function and the purpose of Eros that Plato states in Socrates' terms in Phaedrus and Symposium. Plato ultimately defined Eros as a spirit that leads to the world of Ideas and suggested the five stages of love that are divided in accordance with the ultimate purpose and attitude of mankind towards Eros. The cognition area, changes in appearance of the characters and spatial ranks in and critically reveal such core concepts of the theory of Eros.

이 세상의 모든 저작물은 기본적으로 아이디어와 표현의로 구성되어 있다. 교육용 소프트웨어, 게임 소프트웨어, 영화 등 디지털콘텐츠도 예외는 아니다. 저작물에서 Idea와 표현을 구별하는 것은 소송에서 피고에 의해 복제된 부분이 저작권을 침해 했는가를 판단하는데 있어서 매우 중요하다. 그 이유는 저작권법이 표현을 보호하고 Idea 는 보호하지 않기 대문이다. 미야자키하야오의 감독의 최근 애니메이션인 "하울의 움직이는 성"에서 어떤 부분이 Idea이며 또 표현인지를 정확히 구분하기란 대단히 어려운 일이다. 19세 소녀가 미녀의 저주에 결려 90세 할머니로 변해 미녀들의 심장을 먹고 산다는 하울의 움직이는 성에 들어가 격는 모험, 사랑, 마법 등 플롯(plot)은 과연 Idea일까, 아니면 표현일까? 이하에서는 Idea와 표현 2분법을 저작권법의 기본 원리로서 둔 법정책적 근거에 대해 살펴보고, 문학,미술,음악, 컴퓨터프로그램 등 다양한 종류의 저작물에 있어서 Idea와 표현은 무엇이며 또 어떻게 식별할 수 있는지 몇가지 사례를 통해 알아 보도록 하겠다.

Mr. Miyazaki's heroines tend to be plucky young women who combine guileless decency with tough-mindedness. However, in his the latest film the female character often change herself into wise older women who sometimes serve as foils, sometimes as mother figures. His heroine, Sophie, starts out as a shy girl, but then a curse transforms her into 90-year-old. Her partner is Howl who supports and is supported by Sophie their mutual drawbacks. At first horrified by the change, she comes to embrace it as a liberation from anxiety, fear and self-consciousness, and discovers in herself a new zest for adventure. The castle is surely one of the most extraordinary contraptions to appear on screen recently, more ingenious in its way than the intergalactic armada. It ranges freely from place to place and is also, somehow, in several places at once, its magical front door opening onto different landscapes with the flip of a knob. It is not exactly haunted, but it is nonetheless infused with whimsical and sometimes somber spirits. Sophie, in both her incarnations, joins an impressive sisterhood of Miyazaki heroines, whose version of girl power presents a potent alternative to the mini-machismo that dominates American juvenile entertainment.

This research studies the specific cases of how Hayao Miyazaki re-arranges Hollywood's conservative storytelling model, such as the three-act, eight-sequences structure, and the use of antagonist and antagonistic force, and how he applies them into his fairytale-like narratives to increase the attention of the audience. At the same time, this research also studies the cases of how fairytale-like characters of Miyazaki's storytelling make up for the drawbacks caused by the re-arranged narrative structure and the relationship between the characters, to make the audience keep track to follow the protagonist's journey. This research focuses on the re-arrangement of the three-act structure and the eight-sequences structure. For the details, this research focuses on the alternative use of antagonistic force in My Neighbor Totoro and the cases of antagonists turning to the protagonists' side around the mid-point in Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle. Also, the study shows how Miyazaki expands the second act (the third to the sixth sequence) and shortens the third act (the seventh to the eighth sequence) to earn the time for the audience to be in the same position with the protagonist, and how the fairytale-like characters of these films make up for the disadvantages caused by the shortened third act.
