The Last Unicorn	comment	The Last Unicorn is a 1968 novel by Peter S. Beagle.In a certain lilac wood, the leaves and snow never fall. This eternal springtime is watched over, and caused by, its magical resident—a unicorn. Having never left her forest, the unicorn is surprised to overhear two hunters speaking about the disappearance of the unicorns. In fact, they believe her to be the very last.Unwilling to accept this, the unicorn leaves the safety of her forest and sets out to find others of her kind, following the information given to her by a philosophical butterfly. Along the way, she learns through bitter experience of human cruelty, ignorance and greed. She is mistaken for a horse (much to her displeasure), captured and placed in a circus sideshow, and pursued by a demonic being—the Red Bull, which, according to local legend, is responsible for the disappearance of the other unicorns. She also meets allies who join her in her journey; the incompetent but sweet-natured wizard Schmendrick and Molly Grue, a middle-aged bandit woman with a purer heart than most virgins.Their quest takes them to the barren lands of the embittered King Haggard, master of the Red Bull, and his naive foster son Prince LÃr. It is here that the unicorn, superior and aloof to all mortals, is transformed into a mere human, taking the name "Lady Amalthea", forced to see and suffer human weakness and emotion firsthand.One of the overriding themes is the power of memory. The King remembers feeling happy once and tries to recapture it by kidnapping unicorns, the skull remembers wine, Amalthea is in danger of forgetting herself, Molly Grue remembers her lost youth, and the unicorn will forever remember being in love.An animated film adaptation, with a script by the author, was produced by Rankin/Bass Productions in the 1980s. It's considered extremely faithful, though some events were trimmed out; mostly for time.Beginning in April 2010, IDW published a six-issue comic book adaptation that includes back in elements the movie had to trim out.The short story "Two Hearts", published in 2005, is set after The Last Unicorn and features some of the characters from the novel. It was followed by the novella Sooz in 2023.

Naturally, one survives to be discovered by Haggard — Prince LÃr.

For extra ironic cruelty, he keeps taking jobs as an entertainer/clown. Molly eloped with Cully because she imagined the romantic life of an outlaw, thanks to stories of Robin Hood and his Merry Men. The ensuing reality of barefoot poverty and constantly cooking and washing for scores of rowdy men out in the woods made her prematurely old and bitter. The prince and son of prophecy is an overweight layabout. By the time he comes into his own and fulfills his destiny, the beautiful maiden he's 'won' is irretrievably lost.

There are so few people left, in fact, that he and LÃr have to help with the cooking and doing shifts on guard duty. However, this indicates that doing these things actually does make Haggard at least a little happy. If they didn't, he would be happier with the extra employees (which makes sense - having work he needs to attend to is better than just sitting on his throne all day doing nothing).

Molly begs Schmendrick to use his magic to save the unicorn from the Red Bull, but immediately turns on him after he does so by turning her into a human girl. The Lady Amalthea also displays this after they go to live at King Haggard's court, calling Schmendrick a fool for working as his court jester, even though the whole reason he does it is to buy her time. Even Molly calls her out on it.

The Last Unicorn / int_40cc0c7e	comment	Bittersweet Ending: The Last Unicorn finds and frees her fellows, but at a price. As a human, the Lady Amalthea falls in love with Prince LÃr. Returned to her immortal form, she can no longer stay with him (or even feel love anymore), so she leaves both her love and her two human friends behind to return to her home in the lilac wood. Even sadder, however, because she has experienced love, aging, and regret — experiences foreign to "pure" unicorns — she is no longer as innocent and aloof as others of her kind, separating her even from her own species. And yet, as sad as these things may be, she thanks Schmendrick for them. It is a good thing to have known love. Molly and Schmendrick also fall in love and can live a normal life together now that Schmendrick's immortality has ended.

The Last Unicorn / int_60194b82	comment	Spanner in the Works: Schmendrick's Wild Magic transforms the unicorn into a human. While she understandably freaks out at being put in a mortal body and feeling emotions magical creatures aren't meant to feel, he says the magic must have had its reasons. When her human self falls in love with Prince LÃr, it ultimately gives the unicorn the courage of heart to face the Red Bull and subdue him.

The Lady Amalthea's love for LÃr gives her the courage to face down Schmendrick and refuse to go along with his plans to separate them. It also enables her to stand against and ultimately conquer the Red Bull.

The Last Unicorn / int_6bda9a30	type	Meaningful Name
The Last Unicorn / int_6bda9a30	comment	Meaningful Name: The unicorn's alias, "Amalthea," is a reference to the nanny goat who nursed Zeus. The original Amalthea had lost a horn, which became the Cornucopia, effectively making her the first unicorn. Word of God has it that the author was not aware of the origins of the name when it came to him and suspects he read the myth as a child and got it stuck in his subconscious. "Haggard" pretty much speaks for itself. "Schmendrick" is a Yiddish word meaning someone who is foolish, clueless, or hopelessly out of his depth: a boy sent to do a man's job. It's also a parody of Mandrake the Magician - even according to The Other Wiki. The Harpy is called "Celaeno"note literally, "The Dark One" both as a Shout-Out to the harpy of the same name from Greek mythology, and because she is the dark and twisted yin to the Unicorn's light and pure yang. LÃr isn't just a Punctuation Shaker — anyone versed in Irish mythology would recognise the name as that of the Irish sea god, most prominent in The Children of Lir, in which his three children are turned into swans and bound to three lakes, for three hundred years each per lake.

The Last Unicorn / int_b9955dad	comment	Wanting Is Better Than Having: This is King Haggard's Fatal Flaw, and it even extends to Hagsgate, his town. Everything comes easily to him but because everything comes so easily, nothing is satisfying. Probably one of the reasons why unicorns still interest him is that there's one last unicorn out there he's never captured. The village of Hagsgate values its prosperity so much that they haven't had any children in fifty years to try to thwart the witch's curse, and they are so worried about it that they take no joy from their prosperity at all. Any mention by visitors of how well they seem to be doing only reminds them of the curse.

We assume that he's referring to Amalthea (and maybe that's all that he realizes). But Haggard's doom is actually caused by LÃr, whom Haggard adopted as a baby and, one would presume, brought him into the castle via the front door. If LÃr hadn't sacrificed his life, the unicorn would have just gone into the sea and would not have fought back against the Red Bull.
