aren’t unicorns also symbolic of purity? the only other fairytale (well, I guess it’s not really a fairytale) where there were unicorns was the movie, Legend. there were two unicorns there, one male and one female. one was killed and the other one lost it’s pointy part of the unicorn that makes it a unicorn. once that happened, darkness fell over the land. so, I guess the unicorns also represented ‘light’ or what is ‘good.’
