From the first page to the last‚ archaic language made A Wizard of Earthsea difficult to understand for a modern reader‚ and frustratingly decrepit.

In Joyce Carol Oates ’ "Where Are You Going‚ Where Have You Been?" critics argue whether the character of Arnold Friend‚ clearly the story ’s antagonist‚ represents Satan in the story.
