Marginalized Philosophy: Rocky Horror Picture Show and the Unseen Influence

Abstract

Rocky Horror Picture Show is often examined for commentary upon fluidity and conditioning of gender, but when placed in the twenty-first century society, the meaning and message is distorted. Rather than a commentary on gender alone, I intend to examine and prove how the Rocky Horror Picture Show is a commentary upon 1970s society, man in relation to the various meanings of nature, boundaries, liminality, and in communion with literary themes, philosophical issues concerning sin, and human nature dating back to ancient society.
