David, the Gnome
The simplest storybook shows can sometimes carry and deliver more serious messages. These messages, act as warnings to the viewer that are hidden behind adorable stories. Like many recorded fables from the past, 'David, the gnome' follows this formula. It is based on a main character from a 1985 Spanish T.V. series. The original T.V. series was based on a book called 'The Secret Book of Gnomes', by Wil Huygen. BRB International produced the spanish series. Although, 'David, the gnome's' Spanish origins tie into the shows underlying religious message historically speaking, that will not be coved in this paper. However, that could be a paper topic in and of itself. The garden gnome before this production found it's origins from hired, live-in druid hermits, then refined by Paracelsus and others. It's the small things, that most people overlook, that depict another story or fable being told. A parallel story being shown along side the adorable- forest-gnome-hero storyline. This second story can be deciphered through symbolism, common tropes and subtleties found in each episode. In David the Gnome episode 1, we are introduced to a gnome and his wife. It introduces a loveable Gnome couple. The episode makes a point of showing how the couple rubs noses as a way of showing affection. Later in the episode it shows a opposom couple rubbing noses in the same fashion. This is the first time the Gnomes are equated with an animal counterpart in a subtle way. Although, this idea would be revisited in many episodes. Equating humans to animals can have a negative connotation. It has carried the meaning of being less civilized or wild, in past References. Animals are generally considered lower than humans in the hierarchy of life's creatures. Although, there are texts depicting prized animals that were held at higher esteem. Sometimes these prized animals were held higher than certain classes of individuals. Generally speaking, prized animals were connected to an individual deemed high in the existing hierarchy, which granted them the status. In this episode, there is a cute gnome couple in love. However, they don't touch eachother or kiss, they rub noses to show affection. Maybe, this detail is just a cute anthropomorphism or maybe also a social commentary. These kisses are known as eskimo kisses. The kisses were so called because supposedly people living in the extreme colds couldn't kiss because their mouths might freeze. The implied implication being, it is a safer way to kiss and show love for those confined to a marriage, possibly with only the outward appearances of love. There may be a social commentary about spouses, marriage and the chance of adultery with a connection to medical care here.
