Cimorene's Argumentative Essay

Decent Essays
Additionally, Cimorene was an independent princess who did not want to be similar to the other princesses. The author states, ”By morning, Cimorene was well outside the city....” this is justified in the novel because she was not fond of Prince Therandil, and thought he was quite of an irritation. Cimorene would have been forced to marry someone who did not meet her expectations in a husband, therefore she made her own decision to leave and start her own life.
She did not want to live a life that was planned for her. Moreover the author states, “You must have misunderstood,” Keredwel said severely. “No one volunteers to be a dragon’s princess. It isn’t done.” “Actually, Alianora’s quite right,” Cimorene said as she set the teacups in front

Then Orpheus had taught her how to snap and bite, how to roughen her edges that had become too softened, too refined. But those words?…
