That Hideous Strength
In the books “Out of the Silent Planet” and “Perelandra by C.S. Lewis he uses kind of the same way of thinking. We see it also in the continuation of his trilogy, in the novel “That Hideous Strength” also written by C.S. Lewis. He uses the same writing style, one that at first I couldn’t understand. I had to go back and reread some parts to comprehend what he was saying and kind of figure out the deeper meaning of things. Throughout the book, Lewis uses a different kind of themes and symbolism. One of them being Good VS Evil and pride VS humility. Good VS Evil is very obvious throughout the book, but some of the other themes, and symbols you had to read in-between the lines to kind of figure them out. In the book …show more content…
It’s a connection between literature and society. Our government today reminds me of the people N.I.C.E, everyone in the government is worried about power and control instead of the people of the US. The government wants to in a way try to control the humans and try to control nature. People’s lives do not matter just like in the book. The people of N.I.C.E like to do things with aggression, and do not like when someone doesn’t listen to them. The people in N.I.C.E are very evil, sneaky, people who have a system of doing things and killing people without thinking twice; as long as they get power and control they do not seem to care and do not let anyone stand in their way. Society today is the same way we see it in the new every day. Look at our current president he is so worried about control and power he is neglecting what he really should be worried about. He is here arguing with athletes, politicians, and other people who do not see things the same way he does. He will do anything for power and it scares me that this person is our president. He got someone fired for saying what she thinks of him and banned athlete Steph Curry from coming to the white house because he thought too long about his invitation to the white …show more content…
For each person, it may mean something obviously no person thinks alike. “That Hideous Strength” was a very interesting book for me to read because it had me thinking a way I actually never really had to. I never really had to dig deep while reading a book, but in this book, I had to reread some parts and think really hard to understand certain parts. After reading “That Hideous Strength” I wanted to actually go back and read the books “Out of the Silent Planet” and “Perelandra to kind of see if it all really truly ties in together. His book really challenged me mentally and I love books that are able to do that. He made you think deeply about every meaning, symbol, and motif. Lewis is one of the best authors I have so far read and I cannot wait to read some more of his work, it was truly a well-written
