Beautiful Creatures Series Informative Essay
“I never loved you more than I do, right this second. And I’ll never love you any less than I do, right this second.” -Ethan Lawson Wate
Beautiful Creatures is a four book series with action, drama, and forbidden love. They are great books that keep the reader interested. Lena, is a Caster (Witch) who meets a human named Ethan. They must battle against evil, so that their love can prevail.
Lena and Ethan are not supposed to fall in love with each other; Casters and humans can’t physically touch. When Lena and Ethan touch, it is described as an electric shock throughout the series. As Lena’s powers get stronger, the shock gets stronger as well. With stronger shocks, it becomes hard for them to show their love for each other. When everyone tries to keep them apart, people, including Ethan, begin to get hurt.
Ethan is killed when he gets stabbed with a knife. When Lena performs a spell to bring him back, it backfires in two ways. Half of Ethan’s soul stayed in the Underworld (after life), while the other half came back to reality. However, because magic comes with a price, Uncle Macon, Lena’s uncle, is sacrificed in place of Ethan. Lena becomes depressed and blames herself for her Uncle Macon's death. She closes herself off and stops talking to Ethan. She doesn't write in her poetry book and even hops on a man's motorcycle and rides away with him. Ethan would do anything to get Lena back, even if it means he has to battle the two Darkest (most evil) Casters ever.
Ethan and Lena must fight Sarafine, who also, happens to be Lena's mother. She is a Dark Caster, and is responsible for half of Ethan's soul being in the Underworld. They fought Sarafine many times before she was finally killed by Lena. Abraham Ravenwood is an Incubus (Vampire). He was believed to be dead but was really just waiting for the right moment to come for Lena and kill her. He fails though and is killed by Ethan's best friend Link. Angelus is a Keeper of The Caster Chronicles, which is a book of

    Edith Wharton’s Ethan Frome, juxtaposes the treatment and attention Ethan directs to Zeena and Mattie. The different treatment between the two further reveals Ethan’s internal selfish thoughts to be with Mattie. As Ethan and Mattie have more interactions and time to themselves, “The grow of passion he had felt for her had melted into an aching tenderness” (Wharton 85). Ethan’s selfishness is the antagonist of Ethan and Zeena’s marriage, and it acts as a barrier to the struggle between his affection for Mattie and his existing relationship. Although Ethan’s selfish desires to be with Mattie are shameful, he stoops to beyond a level of inconceivable selfishness, and schemes to flee Starkfield in order to escape Zeena to forever…

    9. In this quote, Ethan now sees Zeena in a completely different light. The description of Zeena represents a major contrast between her and Mattie. This depiction is very negative and describes Zeena as old and dry. Her stature is dark and unfeminine as the quote uses the words ‘tall and angular’ and ‘flat breast’ which are associated with a more masculine body. In the story, this is the opposite of how Mattie is described. On the other hand, Mattie is youthful, sweet, and pretty. Now the readers can see that this contrast is most likely the cause for Ethan’s indiscretions.…

    Soon after Ethan returns from war, his family has been savagely murdered by Indians. But the hope that Debbie has made it out alive remains. The next few years of Ethan's life are spent searching aimlessly through the dessert for any sign of his niece. Finally, Debbie is found but feels little need to be rescued by Ethan. But with no regard to the way she feels, Ethan takes her out of the life she has become accustomed to and restores Debbie to her old society. Similarly enough, one night on the job, Travis sees a young girl named Iris, who is no older than fourteen, working the streets just as well as any other prostitute. Throughout the rest of the film, Travis does his best to save her from the pimp that has been running her life ever since she ran away from home. Quite like The Searchers, Iris never hints at wanting to stop the life she's living. The sexual corruption she has faced has made it almost impossible for her to return to the life of a teenager with no force. Even so, Travis devotes the next few weeks of his life to rescuing Iris from his version of hell. Although neither woman feels like the men's intervention in their lives was necessary, society looks at both men as heroes and their actions are awarded with much…

    Ethan planned to move west, and borrow 50$ from the Hales. In order to get the fifty dollars to start a new life Ethan would have had to lie to the Hales, unable to bring himself to do this; he came to terms with the fact that he will never be able to leave zeena, due to constraints he places on himself. The narrator states “The inexorable facts closed in on him like prison warders- handcuffing a convict. There was no way out-none. He was a prisoner for life, and now his one ray of sunlight was to be extinguished” (116-117). Ethan placed Moral restraints on himself, like many do in everyday life, and ultimately ended up a prisoner in his own home, and…

    Ethan Frome’s love for Mattie and ignorance towards Zeena shows the human weakness & corruption inherent in everyone. The novel’s description of Ethan begins with his lack of care for his wife. Edith Warton portrays this messaged through the imagery of Ethan pocketing Zeena’s medications “without a glance, as if too much used to them to wonder at their number and variety, and would then turn away with a silent nod to the post-master,” portraying the fact that Ethan just doesn’t care about his wife that much anymore. What decent man doesn’t care about his…

    Although Frome’s actions seem to contain merit, his vacuity is what causes him to live in constant moral isolation. The author foreshadows Ethan’s fate with an allusion to a grave: “SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF ETHAN FROME AND ENDURANCE HIS WIFE…” (Wharton 70). This depicts Frome’s tragic end to a great extent, because he does not die a physical death, but rather a mental demise. Frome’s poor judgement of allowing Mattie to convince him to commit suicide resulted in him being trapped in moral isolation. Furthermore, it resulted in Mattie becoming paralyzed, while Zeena was left to tend to both individuals for the rest of their lives. Frome was left to endure the consequences of his plight. He was also left with a resentful Mattie, who realized that Frome had truly destroyed her. Frome was a “prisoner for life” (Wharton 117) and would continue to be tormented by the constant reminder of his failure and lack of…

    One way Ethan Frome shows he’s unselfish is when he allows the narrator to stay at his house during the violent snowstorm. They meet each other at the post office, while they’re both working and they start talking. They realize how severe the storm is and Ethan Frome offers his household for the narrator to stay at. At first, the narrator denies the offer, but Ethan insists. He says, “ Nor you neither. There’s been about enough of this for anybody.” (18) Ethan’s saying to the narrator that there’s no reason for anyone to be out in a storm like this. The narrator argues with Ethan and says he can keep going, but Ethan persuades him to stay at his house. Ethan shows his kindness by taking care of the narrator and allowing him to be a guest in his home. Another way Ethan shows he is unselfish is when he leaves college to take care of the farm and his mother after the death of his father. Ethan wants to become an engineer, but he gives up his dream to run the farm and help his mother in this time of sorrow. He knows his mother is upset, so he puts her needs and the farm’s before his. The narrator says, “Left alone, after his father’s accident, to carry the burden of farm and mill, and when his mother fell ill.” (41) This quote shows that Ethan left college to care for other things beside himself. This demonstrates that Ethan is unselfish because he gives up his…
