Although she was a fictional character, along with everyone else in the book she did commit atrocious acts the still happen today.

    The book The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis, takes place in Narnia. Narnia is a land of talking animals. This story appeals to a younger audience, since they are interested in animals and magical creatures. One of the main characters, Aslan, is the lion who rules Narnia. According to the passage, Aslan is a type of god-like figure because of his long life, immense power, and benevolence. It is very fascinating to note that, when they hear Aslan's name, the children recognize his power, but also become more themselves. The physical form of the lion does not matter. The author uses a lion because a child associates a lion as being scary, but in the story the lion is kind and brave. Aslan's characteristics alter the young readers…

    The Narnia series can be seen as a symbolic reiteration of classic biblical stories. The seven books attempt to recreate everything from major events in the Bible – Genesis and Revelation, the creation and end of the world – to popular medieval saint’s life. In The Magician’s Nephew, the reader is first introduced to the world of Narnia, along with Polly and Digory, the first children from our world to enter Narnia. As Genesis tells of the creation of the world, so The Magician’s Nephew explains how Narnia came to exist and introduces the reader to Aslan, the creator and God figure, and Jadis, the Satan figure, through whose presence at creation evil enters the world. The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe introduces the four Pevensie children – Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy…

    In this article G. W. Bernard talks about the reasons why Anne Boleyn was charged and convicted of adultery. The main reason presented is that King Henry VIII wanted to cast Anne Boleyn aside, in order to marry his latest mistress, Jane Seymour. G. W. Bernard argues that King Henry VIII was upset because Anne Boleyn had not produced a male child, and that King Henry VIII found Anne Boleyn’s abrasive character and pride intolerable. G. W. Bernard states that he believes these were the main reasons that King Henry VIII charged Anne Boleyn for Adultery. G. W. Bernard argues, however, that this interpretation does not fit the evidence of Anne Boleyn and King Henry VIII’s marriage. Their relationship, like most relationships, had its ups and downs, but up until around April 18, 1536 King Henry VIII still regarded Anne Boleyn as his wife and did not have any thoughts about discarding her. The first reason behind why King Henry VIII would have wanted to get rid of Anne Boleyn is that she miscarried in January of 1536, possibly giving birth to a deformed fetus. It is said that giving birth to a deformed fetus was evidence of witchcraft, and King Henry VIII might have thought Anne Boleyn was a witch if she had indeed given birth to a deformed fetus. G. W. Bernard argues, however, that if Anne Boleyn was indeed a witch, she would have used witchcraft to ensure a healthy fetus. Also, Anne Boleyn was never charged with witchcraft, and if King Henry VIII really thought her miscarriage was a result of witchcraft, he would have charged her with witchcraft instead of charging her for adultery. The second reason why King Henry VIII would have wanted to get rid of Anne Boleyn was that illicit sex acts were often blamed as the cause for giving birth to a deformed fetus. It is a reasonable claim that King Henry VIII may have seen the fetus as evidence of adultery, and therefore had charged Anne Boleyn with adultery. The third, and…

    To belong is to fit in, or to be rightly placed in a specified position or environment. The idea of belonging is a dynamic and an essential aspect of human life which can come through, due to the connections made with the concepts of identity, place, relationships, acceptance and understanding to oneself and other people. These aspects of belonging are demonstrated through the free verse novel, ‘The Simple Gift’ by Steven Herrick, and the fairy tale of ‘The Ugly Duckling’ by Hans Christian Anderson.…

    “She has renounced the claim on your brother’s blood” (Lewis 207). Lewis compares Aslan to Jesus which makes him the hero in the story. The hero Aslan, saves Edmund’s life by dying for his sin. In the beginning, Eddmund fell for the White Witch’s trick by eating some of her Turkish Delight which made hi side with her. “The hero of the series, Aslan the lion, is often viewed as a Christlike figure: Aslan dies at the hand of his wicked enemies, is miraculously resurected, and saves those who believe in him” (Griffin 1). After he resurrected, he went to the White Witch’s castle where she turned the good into stone. Aslan simply breathed on the dead animals and brought them back to life. He saved all the dead creatures that believed in him. In the Bible, is states that when Jesus comes back to Earth he will also save those that believe in…

    Snow White’s father knew that she would be very beautiful, and he knew that people might try to take advantage of her. So he taught her math, science, reading, cunning, and bravery. In short, Snow White was beautiful and brilliant. She knew her stepmothers evil plan from the start. She caught glimpses other stepmother’s jealous face staring at her as Snow White brushed her strong, black hair. She heard her stepmother arguing with her odd talking mirror every morning. Snow White expected this. As she sat in her potato sack, she thought of how to get out. When the huntsman released her, she was ready to appeal to the man. As he raised his hatchet, Snow White feigned tears and cried, “No please. Dear huntsman, I know that my stepmother chose you because you are so strong and noble, but please spare me. My mother was the most beautiful woman in the kingdom, and died sadly giving birth to me. She passed her curse of beauty to me. My stepmother fell victim to the curse of jealousy. Please don’t kill me.” Taking a look at the girl’s wondrous face and taking her pleas to heart, the huntsman let her…

    Cannibalism In The Crucible

    • 2950 Words
    • 12 Pages

    In the 1800?s it shows the influence of religion as well as social status (Thompkins 402). Even the food that each character desired was a direct representation of their nature. This notion is explored by Eugene Weber, who explains that ?In fairy stories only the wicked eat meat?or the wicked witch who plans to eat Hansel. As for the children themselves, when the witch serves them what they are told is a good meal, they get ?milk pancakes and sugar apples, and nuts.? (Weber 101). We can see the witch has a need to eat human meat, which is a taboo in society. However, the children seek food that is light and sweet such as candy and cakes. The idea of light and dark is also represented when we look at how the characters view their own survival. In Hansel & Gretel the children care for each other; even when their own lives are at stake. For example, it is Hansel who is being prepped to be eaten not Gretel, yet instead of planning her own escape she works on trying to free her brother despite the risk. When we look at the evil characters in the story like the witch and the stepmother, the reader is shown how both put their own needs above everyone else. The stepmother does not care about the children and comes up with a plan to leave them in the woods so she does not have to share their dwindling food supply. The witch is also focused on self-preservation and her own desire to eat human…

    In chapter 10 of To Kill A Mockingbird, Harper Lee uses the incident of the mad dog as an allegory to represent prejudice. At this part in the chapter Atticus and Heck Tate are watching the mad dog walk down the road. Scout and Jem are watching from the crack through the door. Jem whispers “ Mr. Heck said they walked in a straight line. He can’t even stay in the road.” This passage in the novel represents prejudice because when Jem whispers that “Mr. Heck said that they walked in a straight line,” it means that usually the prejudice has been under control and not very noticeable by the people in the town. After, Jem says, “He can’t even stay in the road.” Which means that the prejudice was unnoticeable before, but now the prejudice can’t even stay in the road. It has the meaning that the prejudice is starting to become out of control and someone has to do something about it because it threatens all the townspeople. “Mr. heck said they walked in a straight line” also means that the people in Maycomb could handle the prejudice. Now that “It can’t even walk in a straight line.” The people of Maycomb have to take action against it, but everyone is too afraid to do anything. The people of Maycomb are afraid of change and they don’t know what to do when the mad dog comes. The only people that have enough courage to do something about the mad dog, the prejudice, are Atticus and Heck Tate. Even though Heck Tate is out there with Atticus, he is still too afraid to do anything about the prejudice so he gives his gun to Atticus. Atticus is afraid of the prejudice but he has the courage to destroy it. It was taking Atticus a while to shoot it, but he finally did. He destroyed the prejudice. Clearly, the incident of the mad dog represents more than just a dog in To Kill A Mockingbird; Rather, Harper Lee uses the mad dog as a symbol of the prejudice in the town of…

    The Queen was jealous of Snow White due to the fact that Snow White was fairer than she was. This exemplifies how women may constantly plot up against one another to claim the trait they feel rightly belongs to them. The Queen does everything in her power to kill Snow White so that she may become the fairest in the land. When she finds out that her hired huntsman did not complete the task of stabbing Snow White’s heart, she takes measures into her own hands First, she disguises herself as an old woman selling pottery and bodices. Snow White let's her in, only to have the Queen lace her bodice too tight to the point of suffocating her. The dwarves come home to see that she is unconscious and unlaces her and Snow White awakens and breathes regularly. Meanwhile, inside the palace the Queen looks at the mirror and asks the question as she did numerous times, “Mirror Mirror who is the fairest of them all?” The mirror answers truthfully and still answers Snow White, beyond the mountains with the seven dwarves is still a thousand times fairer than you.” This angers the queen immensely, thus for the second time she goes to the dwarves cottage in an attempt to kill Snow White. At this point, with the assistance of witchcraft the queen creates a poisoned comb and then disguises herself as a different elder woman and walks…
