Slumbering Resplendency-Sun, Moon And Taila

Improved Essays
A prevalent perception of old simply denotes maleficent in folk land. Perhaps because being old is diametrical to being puerile and the adolescent is visually perceived as vibrant, pristine and able. In the stories optically discerned in the class discussion, the story that most resembles the partial theory predicated by folktale authors about the old would be Giambattista’s rendition of Slumbering Resplendency- Sun, Moon and Taila. The story dots the Queen as the main antagonist while we can visually perceive during sundry times and by characters in the book different forms of evils being perpetuated.

Depending on whether a character was from the newer or older generation, their views about race and the status of their interracial relationships was affected.

    Nearly every named object in the house is described to possess some degree of oldness or decrepitude. His purple splotches will never be senile purpura, because at best, they are a precursor to his eventual death. He will not develop wrinkles on his skin and or grow white hair on his almost shaven head. The contradiction lies within the fact that age and decay are presented with a negative lens, as if it were an ugly, repulsive thing. On multiple occasions, his mother nonchalantly and self-deprecatingly refers to herself with phrases such as “the crazy old thing, the old witch” or “a common, decrepit old woman” (5, 8).…

    In fantasy literature, Age is often treated as a feature that defines abilities, intentions and importance. Rarely, if ever, is a capable heroine beyond the ripe age of twenty-five, and it may be written within the stars that no male lead shall ever grow older than the age of 32, lest he be a force for fear. This idea, proven further by the lack of aged characters within the literature chosen for our class, is one bred out of a combination of cultural arrogance and an innate fear of growing old. However, it is this fear and rejection of the elderly that makes the movie Howl’s Moving Castle so very interesting, as it could be argued to subvert the genre’s negative predisposition towards age. In fact, one could begin to argue that in the case of Howl’s moving castle age is treated more as a blessing than anything else, and the characters who begin to show age can grow far more than the ones who do not.…
