Hidden messages
Since its inception, the story has been controversial. In the opinion of many readers, the stories about the reporter have many political colors. In 2010, the collection of stories “Tintin in the Congo” was sued for being racist. However, Moulinsart – the organization representing Hergé – stated that they accept that “the book contains elements of the times” but firmly oppose the decision to ban its publication.
“We cannot judge Tintin or Hergé based solely on current standards. If you don’t put the work in historical context, you will probably have to censor all the books published more than 50 years ago.”
Tintin represents a relatively simple message: the importance of altruism and the search for truth. The work clearly shows what Europeans think of an ever-changing world throughout the 24 titles, published mainly between the 1930s and 1970s. The fictional elements in the story are not only part of reality but also predictions about the future.
For example, in 1950, Tin Tin “flied” to the Moon before a man could. In several volumes, Tin Tin serves as a beacon of European humanitarianism, a model of commitment to preventing violence and coups. Hergé painted Tin Tin’s face with clear lines. It was almost expressionless, always in a neutral state. In the eyes of readers, this is the ideal emotional state.
