    I will be analyzing the stories of Callisto, Actaeon, and Pentheus in regards to Dionysus and Artemis. All three of the first characters go through serious transformations that are very significant for my essay. These transformations in Ovid’s Metamorphoses are really determined by the naive nature of each of these three characters and this really is the fuel for Dionysus and Artemis to keep their godly roles in the stories. Callisto and Actaeon from Ovid and Pentheus from the Bacchae both really have naive natures that lead to their their transformation and overall demise.…

    Emotions of negativity trail with Gregor Samsa in The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka, as Gregor’s body slowly transforms into a bug-like body size of a human; resulting in undesired “torture” from his family and himself. Although change isn't always followed with horrid results, it's hard to adjust to, since pain, suffrage and misunderstandings create obstacles. Discomforts of a specific situation leads to pain- state of being hurt- when something in movement is not welcomed. To feel loved is necessary in a human-being’s life; once loneliness wraps around one’s life, things begin to shift; and others surrounding one, gradually begins to be affected. For instance, when Gregor overheard that his sister, Grete- which was the only one who ever cared…

    Posts made on social media depict women as the more dominant gender in a relationship and ones who can take control and have their own power. This assumption though is far from the truth of society. Women are far from being seen as equal to men. Similarly to today’s views, the Romans also lowers the value of women whose purpose seem to be prizes to men, to be used sexually by men, and to be their spouses. In Ovid’s Metamorphoses, mortal women are portrayed as objects whose voices do not matter.…

    In Maus I & II by Art Spiegelman and “Metamorphosis” by Kafka, a heavy (and sometimes overwhelming) theme is alienation and dehumanization. While both texts discuss different topics and scenarios, their pivotal theme is what ultimately tie the stories together. Both authors use very different strategies to showcase the alienation and dehumanization based upon their story’s genre. Maus I & II is a very real and intense comic that gives a snapshot of what it was like to be a Jew in World War II through the eyes of a survivor - Vladek Spiegelman. Vladek is the author’s father which gives the story a much needed emotional aspect that Vladek’s shrewd commentary lacks.…

    In Frankenstein, Mary Shelley talks about a monster, who transforms from an innocent individual to an evil person at the end. The entire story revolves around the monster and his creator, who abandons the monster at the time of monster’s creation. Furthermore, the society rejects the monster and this rejection changes the harmless being to a harmful creature. Thus, Shelly comments on the idea of human nature being learned and not innate through her tale of the monster. I strongly believe Mary Shelley’s portrayal of the monster in the story depicts human transformation based on their experience in the society.…

    In the film Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, the setting takes place in a magical world in London, England where the main characters attend a school named Hogwarts: School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In the film numerous characters and moments embody the theories Malory Nye point out in his book Religion: The Basics. Essentially, rituals and beliefs are prevalent in this film and the use of the theories can analyze such things. Examining Harry Potter using Arnold Van Gennep’s rites of passage, Edmund Leach’s theory of rituals and repetition, Claude Levi-Strauss’ ritualistic symbolism, and Malcolm Ruel’s definition of beliefs being “weak” and “strong” to convey that the aspect of the character’s lives basically comes down to the forming…
