The post title sounds quite promising doesn't it? Sounding almost like a Agatha Christie who-dun-it classic. If only this post was as entertaining....
Incidentally, a mistaken identity, is the one thing that Bomba the Jungle Boy, a caterpillar, the Ugly Duckling, and Giselle of the Enchanted movie have in common.
Bomba, the Jungle Boy thought he was an animal and belonged in the jungle.
The Ugly Ducking thought it was a duck.
The caterpillar thought it was destined its whole life to crawl on its many legs.
Giselle thought she only had the chops to be a two-dimensional fairy-tale princess.
But we all know how all the stories of the different personalities end don't we?
Bomba was really human in his make-up and needed to go back to where he really belonged.
The Ugly Ducking was no duck; it was a beautiful swan.
The caterpillar had to submit to its personal metarmorphosis, to a butterfly.
And Giselle was more than a beautiful princess; she had brains and soul and heart and the creativity to be a fashion designer.
There's always the possibility of a beautiful ending to every story of a mistaken identity. In the midst of all that confusion and loss that comes with finding out one is not really who one thinks, and to all that trouble of having to re-define and re-discover oneself, and the pain and struggle of change and growth, I guess we can always take comfort that the end result of the transformation would always come as a wonderful and worthwhile surprise.
