abstract
  • Lady Eboshi is the main antagonist of the Studio Ghibli film, Princess Mononoke. She is voiced by Minnie Driver in the English Dub. She is the manager of Iron Town, a mining community in Japan around the 13th/14th century. She leads the iron workers there in a two-front war against the forest gods and the local warlords, hoping to turn the forest into more mining land for the town, and start an independent community free from the Emperor or feudal lords. Her main enemies are the wolf goddess Moro and her adopted human daughter, San. In spite of her ruthlessness toward nature, she has a compassionate side. She cares deeply for the people of her town, and is loved and revered by the townspeople for protecting them. She uses the funds from selling the Iron they make to buy brothel girls and hire them as workers, and train them as fighters. She also provides a haven for lepers and other outcasts. It can be inferred in the movie that Lady Eboshi is not a villain at all (and rather an antagonist to San), and that the humans and forest-dwellers are equally in the wrong for fighting rather than cooperating. Lady Eboshi and San are shown to be the diametrically opposed forces in the movie though their mutual hatred of each other and everything they represent, while showing nothing but compassion for their own kind. Meanwhile, the main character, Prince Ashitaka, maintains a relatively neutral stance between the two sides, attempting to stop each side from destroying the other. This inference is further strengthened by the absence of villains and use of pacifism as a theme in other movies Hayao Miyazaki has directed.
