Again, the main problem with trying to to use the movie to
connect Shakespeare to the Masons that none of these
claimed 'tells' in the film appear in the play.

Perhaps Hollywood left out the last seven steps as an ... innovation?
Seven steps sacrificed for the sake of framing, or something?

Regardless, there's a misunderstanding. My current focus is to find
Freemason forms in  _Forbidden Planet_ - for the fun of it. Intention
is irrelevant to this thread - it doesn't seek to prove a connection
between Freemasonry and Shakespeare. Other people's arguments about a
connection purely provide pretext. Otherwise readers would wonder
why Freemason forms are sought in _Forbidden Planet_.

Strickly speaking, the staircase and Euclid are both legend:

    EUCLID. The masonic legend which refers to Euclid is altogether
    historically untrue. It is really a philosophical myth intended
    to convey a masonic truth.

    WINDING STAIRS, LEGEND OF. A legend in the Fellow Craft's degree
    having no historical truth, but being simply a philosophical
    myth or legendary symbol intended to communicate a masonic
    dogma.

Cookie's apron is cringe-worthy. But sometimes you must pander to
readers. In this case to readers who, at best, recognize only one
symbol: the apron.

The Blazing Star provides a tentative origin for the space object
explosion climax cliche.
