MOON KNIGHT
(Series)

Plot

Arthur Harrow who was the main villain shot Marc when he was
with Layla that brings the story into the plot twist where they bring
them to the Psychiatric Hospital. Marc experienced the things that
happened to Steven mysteriously in the place where he is now.
When he is about to go around the mental institution, he finds
Steven that is separate on his body. Then they are shocked when
they see Taweret, the Egyptian god of fertility and childbirth.
Taweret reveals to Marc and Steven that the psychiatric hospital
they're in is actually Duat, the Egyptian afterlife. She removes their
hearts to weigh against the feather of Maat, god of truth and
justice, and begins the journey to the Field of Reeds, which is
essentially paradise. But,the scales won't balance, so the duo need
to investigate their past in the hopes of making it safely through the
journey.

(Climax)
Steven decides to dig a little deeper into Marc to
know who he really is. The set of keys he found in his
apartment leads him to a storage locker, in which he
finds a cot, a gun, and a bunch of money.Upon
seeing this, Steven understandably freaks out. In the
reflective surface of the inside of the locker, Marc
calms him down and explains what he is: He serves
the Egyptian god Khonshu and he protects the
vulnerable and dispenses Khonshu’s justice to those
who hurt them. And because Marc is Khonshu’s
avatar, Steven is, too, whether he likes it or not.
Once Steven realizes the truth, it doesn’t take him long to
accept that his own life and memories are not real. But that
move toward acceptance does not balance the scales, and
zombie-like forms of Marc’s past victims emerge out of the sand
to drag Marc down with them. They almost succeed before
Steven takes matters into his own hands and sends the ship
veering in another direction, freeing his alter ego. In trying to
save Marc, Steven falls overboard and takes Marc’s place,
being left to solidify in the sands of Duat. With Steven “gone,”
Marc finds himself in the “Good Place” of the Egyptian afterlife,
the Field of Reeds. While the Spanish song “Mas Alla del Sol”
plays in the background, Moon Knight finds himself bathed in
sunlight, though he feels he’s undeserving of this fate.

Setting

Most of the scenes in the series take place in London where the main character Marc works (at mild-
mannered store museum). And some of the fighting scenes including the ending happen in Cairo and the
desert.

Point of view
The kind of point of view shown in the movie is first person, where the story opens with Steven Grant,
who is one of Marc Spector’s many alters. They focused on the main character which became successful
because they not only introduced him, but they made the viewers surprised about what was happening
with the main character.

Theme
Based on the director of the series, it covers themes of dissociative identity disorder, Egyptian
mythology, love, and the eradication of evil from the world.

Diction
The main character speaks in cockney dialect with his British accent that seems to be questionable,
while the rest speaks naturally.

Image
London, which is the setting in the story, is physically a polycentric city, with many core districts and no
clear hierarchy among them. The main character Marc Spector has different personalities through his
dissociative identity disorder and with the help of supporting characters he was able to understand
himself and solve the conflicts.

Symbol
Moon Knight itself, represents the person who has dissociative identity disorder who was Marc Spector.
His costume symbolizes Konshu, the god of moon and it wants to say “'Rise and live again as my fist of
vengeance”.
