The Philosophy of Love in Marvel Studio's Spider-Man: No Way Home

This research article analyses the philosophy of love depicted in Marvel Studios Spider-Man: No Way Home. Though the film released in December 2021 deals with the fight for good against evil, the complexity of love and connection between the fictional character Spider-Man and others remains more relevant in the same. The film uses the emotion of love in the context of a multiverse and completes a trilogy of Spider-Man movies released by Marvel Studios, and this paper roots into the ancient Greek philosophy of love, analysing whether protagonist Peter Parker's aka Spider-Man's love can be classified as eros, philia or agape. A semiological analysis dissects the movie at both denotative and connotative levels.

Abstract

This research article analyses the philosophy of love depicted in Marvel Studios Spider-Man: No Way Home. Though the film released in December 2021 deals with the fight for good against evil, the complexity of love and connection between the fictional character Spider-Man and others remains more relevant in the same. The film uses the emotion of love in the context of a multiverse and completes a trilogy of Spider-Man movies released by Marvel Studios, and this paper roots into the ancient Greek philosophy of love, analysing whether protagonist Peter Parker's aka Spider-Man's love can be classified as eros, philia or agape. A semiological analysis dissects the movie at both denotative and connotative levels.
