Comparison Of Man's Fate And Beginning Of The Great Revival

Decent Essays
Both Man’s Fate and Beginning of the Great Revival start off very similar. Both the novel and the film begin with an assassination that shortly starts a revolution. Both also focus mainly on the rise of the communist in their country and their division with the capitalist. Also both focus on the people coming together to face the inequity they are having to deal with. I believe both the novel and the film are biased towards communism. Malraux fought for the rights of communism in Spain and the French Resistance during World War II. Beginning of the Great Revival was made to mark the 90th anniversary of the Communist Party of China. Both the film and the novel are used to personalize larger political problems and social movements going on during

    As a 20th-century writer, C. S. Lewis responded to a variety of contemporary issues that he saw and experienced. Lewis used his writing to combat and correct the educational shifts and standards of his modern England, making him a problem solver; in The Abolition of Man, he claims that England 's education system has created "men without chests," and he calls for sentimentality and values to be re-instilled by offering the Tao as the solution. Before Lewis can correct a problem in society, he must first identify the issue, it’s origin, and why it is detrimental for humanity. During Lewis’ time, the educational institutions of England had adopted the technique of simply pointing out what was false and “cutting down jungles” rather than assisting…

    The Abolition of Man and That Hideous Strength by C.S. Lewis are novels based on lectures given by the author that pursue the theme of man lacking empathy. Within the first book, The Abolition of Man, Lewis describes the importance of basing all judgments we make on what he calls the Tao: the conception of human behavior that, historically and in different moral traditions, has been considered good. As an emotion is not a judgment, it can be said that emotions and feelings do not respond to logical reasons—yet, they can be reasonable or unreasonable. Lewis states that “the heart never replaces the head; but it can, and must, obey it” (The Abolition of Man 19). Therefore, if Aristotle says that the aim of education is to get the student to have predilections and aversions for what corresponds, “the duty of the modern educator is not to cut down forests, but to irrigate deserts”, that is, the way to help the student to defend oneself properly against false feelings is to inculcate fair feelings (The Abolition of Man 13-14).…
