Can anyone actually travel from Wonderland to Chess? In Heartless, by Marissa Meyer, the main character Catherine also referred as Cath did. How? It all started when Cath and her family were invited to the king's ball. Catherine's mother and father were referred to the Marchioness and Marquis. So she had a lot to live up to especially with having a dream that she can never complete like having her own bakery. Catherine faced many problems like The King of Hearts proposing, a Jabberwock attacking and falling in love with a martyr.
When Catherine and her family were invited to the king's ball Catherine's mom thought that the king was going to propose “The King of Hearts was about to propose to her” (Meyer 46). Cath did not want the king to propose …show more content…
When Cath fell in love with Jest she did not know that he was from Chess. But when she found out she thought it was quixotic and did not believe it to be true. Jest was on a mission to steal the heart of The Queen of Hearts which was now Catherine but he already had her heart. “A heart, once stolen, can never be taken back” (pg). After they decided that they wanted to be together they were distinct in saying that they were going to be together. Doing so they decided to go to Chess to be together. On their way there the sisters' that would let them through said “One to be a murderer. One to be a Martyr. One to be a Monarch. One to go Mad” (pg). But they did not heed the warning and Jest ended up being the martyr and her becoming the queen that gave up her heart. If they had listened to the sisters' Jest would be alive and the prophecy would not have been fulfilled.
In conclusion, in Heartless there were bounteous problems like The King of Hearts proposing, a Jabberwock attacking and falling in love with a martyr. Through everything Catherine had been through to not be The Queen of Hearts and go to Chess with Jest she had failed and given up on all hopes of solving her

    Catherine The Great Analysis

    example of Catherine’s desire to be loved is implicitly implied through her seeing danger in every corner of the court because she believed that she is disposable because she is feeling unloved in a foreign place with rules and dangers that are unknown to her. Chomsky uses the insecurity that Catherine may have felt upon her first arrival in Russia to portray her as a feeble girl who needs to be loved in a potentially dangerous and hostile world. Chomsky uses small portions of the primary sources to show Catherine as a weak ruler who is constantly seeking love through her many lovers throughout the film. Chomsky shows her as a female ruler who needs support from strong masculine personalities such as her lovers and the Grand Chancellor and Vice Chancellor. These men, whom she typically has a love for in either a romantic way or fatherly way, play a large role in her decision-making throughout the film.…

    Dicken's Response To A Modest Marriage

    Modest Marriage The proposal is arguably the most critical component in a traditional marriage. From two different novels, the speaker of each passage utilizes differing methods of proposing marriage to his intent by means of attitude, diction, and reasoning. Although the speaker from Austen’s passage expresses a selfish, egocentric tone, the proposer of Dicken’s passage affectionately captivates the woman with a tone filled with emotion, compassion, and tenderness; in the face of these proposals, the woman addressed by Dicken’s speaker would respond with enthusiastic approval and endearment, whereas the woman offered by Austen’s speaker would most likely respond with bitter rejection and disgust.…

    The Anatomy Of The Heart In Chrétien De Troyes '

    The Anatomy of the Heart In Chrétien de Troyes’ Cligès, lovers can effectively communicate with their eyes. While “the eye is the heart’s window” (708-709), unlike the eye the heart appears as less a physical organ than a mental entity that is capable of commanding one’s action. However, when Alexander falls in love with Sordamour, he bemoans that this unrequited love brings him the pain that goes to his heart, although he cannot see any wounds (687, 697-698). Since the heart is susceptible to pain, it is also corporeal despite its mental power.…

    The Four Monarchies Analysis

    In the beginning of Paula Kopacz article, she addresses concern about whether Anne Bradstreet’s poem, “The Four Monarchies,” is finished or not. Kopacz explains how Bradstreet is “restless” to finish the poem, and that “the circumstances made finishing impossible” (175). Although many people have supported that this poem was not finished, Kopacz argues that the poem was finished after Bradstreet successfully reached New England. Critics do not recognize the finished poem because it was not finished appropriately. Since the poem was not completed appropriately, according to Kopacz, Anne Bradstreet’s poetry was recognized “primarily for its historical value” (176).…

    The Importance Of Heroic Relationships In Much Ado About Nothing

    Mucho Ado About Nothing presents two dynamic relationships; one between Hero and Claudio and one between Beatrice and Benedick. It is important to note that these couples are from a time where chastity, obedience, and submission are among some of the most prized virtues in women. If a woman did not have those virtues, she would not be sought after by men, and in some cases would be scorned and ridiculed (as seen with Kate in The Taming of the Shrew). Much Ado About Nothing highlights chastity, obedience, and submission in Hero and Beatrice and what happens when they ‘violate’ those virtues. Without a doubt, the better husband turns out to be the one that can overlook that ‘breach’ in virtues.…

    Romeo And Juliet Women Analysis

    When she hears about the king´s divorce and his fondness on her, she seems to realize that her only role towards the king is to give him a male heir. She is completely silenced, she does not even have a considerable role in the play as Katherine . Great part of the action that concerns Anne appear offstage. We know that she has married the king, that she is pregnant and that she has given birth to Elizabeth through other character´s dialogues. Taking into account that the aim of Elizabethan theatre hides `the cult of flattery´ for the play is more important to make queen Elizabeth be born than to profound in Anne Bullen´s life or personality.…
