    Clara And Aubergine Of The Prospectors Summary

    The protagonists Clara and Aubergine of the The Prospectors by Karen Russell have a mutually beneficial relationship, but to a greater extent, one grounded in necessity. I will be linking this relationship to the archetypal relationship between an innocent maiden and an enabler. The innocent maiden is Clara and Aubergine is the enabler; throughout the story Aubergine entices Clara and pushes her to using her charm at parties. However, that is not to say that Aubergine did not need Clara. Clara and Aubergine needed to combine their strengths to survive on their journey to the west. Clara’s knowledge of the upper class allowed for her to blend in at social gatherings. Clara had developed a familiarity with the mannerisms of the rich and understood how to act around them. This allowed the duo to sneak into the wealthy’s parties without raising alarm. In addition, Aubergine had selective knowledge on theft, and the skills needed to get away with it. The duo played on each other’s strengths throughout their journey to the west, with Aubergine teaching…

    Azazel's Fallen: Summary

    Fallen is a thought-provoking -person narrative film that begins and ends with the voice of the film’s narrator and protagonist, Azazel. The movie, which is based on his personal story, opens with an intriguing self-introduction that snares the audience’s attention from the outset: “I want to tell you about the time I almost died.” As the movie proceeds, Azazel reveals that he is responsible for killings, as well as the false indictment and subsequent suicide of a detective named John Hobbes. Azazel himself is described as an “evil spirit of the wilderness.” Where Genesis 1 and John 1 narrate all thigs to have been created by God, Genesis 3:15 explicitly mentions an enmity between humans and the serpent. (Revelation 20:2 also mentions this snake.) Dr. Stephen Ray argues “God is the causal effect of everything” and that “if God didn’t create Azazel, there would be no evil.” This paper will reflect on some of the various perspectives of the powers of the evil spirts and explore to what…

    Post-Freudian Pshychoanalytic Theory of Adam & Eve

    The story of Adam and Eve is one of the most culturally important and known stories in the Bible regarding the origin of mankind. It’s generally followed by Judeo-Christians but is also grasped by other religious views, though many tend to overlook minor key details that may alter the whole interpretation. First, God created a man named Adam to primarily tend to the garden he planted in Eden. There were many trees in the garden that happened to contain two special types of trees. God allowed Adam to eat from any tree he wished, except from one specific tree. Then, God created a woman to accompany Adam who automatically became his wife. The woman came across a serpent she claimed to have deceived her. In actuality, the serpent simply told her a fact that is later proven correct with the help of her temptation. After Adam and the woman both consumed fruit from the forbidden tree, they realized that they were naked and tried to hide from God. God came to find that Adam and the woman ate from the forbidden tree because they suddenly were full of knowledge. God punished the serpent, Adam, and the woman for their disobedience. He then banished them not as another punishment but to help them avoid temptation again. Within the controversial context of the story lie theoretical themes that can be analyzed by existentialism and the Post-Freudian psychoanalytic theory of eros, thanatos, and the Oedipal Conflict. The story can be viewed using the Oedipal Conflict as God plays the role of both the mother and father figure while Adam and Eve play the role of the rebellious children. Along with this conflict, the characters of the story demonstrate existentialism qualities and carry out actions that they are either eros or thanatos.…

    DCD Anselm Analysis

    In Anselm’s theology the Devil, who was the first creature (angel) to fall, did not persevere in his original justice and freedom. He did not have this perseverance not because God would not give it to him, but God did not give it to him simply because the Devil did not accept what has been offered to him.18 God is seen as in a sense unable to deliver the gift of perseverance to the Devil, because, even if this angel had pre- viously accepted the will and capacity for the reception of perseverance, then from his own will he deliberately and voluntarily rejects its con- tinuous confirmation. In the third chapter of the DCD Anselm presup- poses the existence of a good and a bad will, and says that transgression happens when the good will remains passive (while it does have the capacity to resist actively) when the bad one interferes.19 The angel did not will something that he already possessed, and because all he had was given from God, he did not will something that was given by God himself. By this he abandoned justice and…

    The Portrayal of Women to Men in Genesis

    For the past two-thousand years, the Book of Genesis has served as work of literature to the western civilization. Whether people believed in the Bible or not, the Book of Genesis tell stories they talk about having good morals, teaching live-learned lessons and overall it gives a glimpse of how the first human being acted when the world was developing and how they handle problems and situations. However, even though the book of Genesis shows a tone of life long morals, Genesis also shows the different sides of humans. Genesis shows how human can be deceitful, evil, and disobedient to authority figures. But these traits with humans were rarely displayed by man, but mostly by woman. In the book of Genesis, woman are displayed obstacles and road blocks to these undermining and broad goals through God‘s plan . From the beginning of the book with Garden of Eden to the ending of the story of Joseph, women, as mothers and wives are typically portrayed disloyal, undependable mischievous or, just simply for their womanhood, and they frequently threaten to undermine God's will than men. This portrayal is done because women were not considered equal to man and man was the only thing that God intended to create. Women in Genesis were set as these archetypes that God wanted them to be, but in the narrative its they are shown otherwise.…

    Paradise Lost: Book And Genesis Analysis

    Milton’s Paradise Lost is essentially the book of Genesis on steroids. Looking specifically at Book three and seven of Paradise Lost we will notice many descriptions and events that have been added to the book. The three most noticeable differences in Paradise Lost (book three and seven) compared to the book of Genesis in the Bible are: the devil’s use of Uriel to get to Earth, both the process of Jesus being asked to be the savior of the world and the dialogue between God and Jesus, and the use of the archangel Raphael to warn the oncoming temptation of Satan in book seven. All three of these are not mentioned in the Bible, and have been added by Milton to add excitement,…

    Symbolism In The Birthmark

    As many people may be familiar with the myth of Eden, Aylmer, the ambitious scientist that tries to alter Georgiana's natural beauty is the figure of Satan. The laboratory, which Aylmer devoted most of his time, is described as a room with "atmosphere felt oppressively close, and was tainted with gaseous odours which had been tormented forth…with its naked walls and brick pavement, looked strange, and accustomed"(336). Above and beyond the unappealing setting, there have been record failed experiments. The record of failed experiments foretells that Georgiana's experiment will be a failure. To recapitulate, it is rational to perceive Aylmer as Satan and his laboratory as a comparison to hell. On the other hand, Georgiana, the naïve and attractive woman for whom most people would risk their life just to lay their lip on her cheek is the figure of Eve in Eden (329). At the beginning of the story, Georgiana lived happily without any worry. However, one day, Aylmer realizes Georgiana's birthmark and ensnares her into removing it off her cheek. The concept is similar to the story of Eden. Originally, Adam and Eve lived happily in Eden. But, one day, Satan treacherously told Eve about the tree of wisdom. Then he slowly lured her into eating one of the apples that offered the power of wisdom. After Eve had eaten the apple, she did received wisdom. Yet, she also got punished by God to leave Eden. In the story, Georgiana did get to remove her birthmark after she drank the potion offered by Aylmer but she died because she went against nature. Georgiana's death shows that going against or altering nature may result in…

    Paradise Lost Equality Analysis

    While Milton’s retelling of the biblical tale of man’s origin within Paradise Lost is true to the bible, he manages to reinvent it in a slightly different manner – a manner that brings to light new questions about the roles Adam and Eve played in the fall of human kind. Speaking more specifically, his retelling of the fall of man seems to bring up questions about how gender operates within the biblical world and how it may relate to the time Milton comes from. At face value, the portrayal of Eve suggests that she is inferior and subordinate to Adam. There seems to be a stark contrast between Adam and Eve: where Adam is strong, rational, and intelligent, Eve is naïve and narcissistic. These differences between Adam…
