their lives and dealing with insanity. Their inner beast showed then and it was inevitable. What do you think? Do you think that there is a beast in all of us? Or do you think you could have kept yourself under control? I think that there is a beast in everyone of us because in The Lord of the Flies they are all getting carried, when the Lord of the Flies talks to Simon, and how, in real life, all of us have the potential to show our inner beast and lose control.…

Before the Murder of Simon: All of these boys have began to follow me, they have started to listen to whatever I say and I don’t know how to feel about it. The beast is still scaring all the little uns and they are turning to me and Ralph, but I can’t let them choose him over me, not again. He doesn’t deserve to be leader, he isn’t strong and rich, he isn’t a choir boy. He will follow eventually, no matter what I have to put him through. Simon has been scaring me too, with his seizure and how…

came a thing in the that they all feared. They called it a beast. Just about all of the boys believed that this “beast” was a real “snake like” thing, but only one came to a realization of what it really was. This beast wasn’t actually a real animal, the beast was actually the fear the boys encountered on the island. Either fear of the unknown, fear of human nature, or fear of war. Those three were the three possible symbols of the beasts. The first symbol could be fear itself. On this island…

love and despair, the use of archetypes in “Beauty and the Beast”, written in 1756, helps to portray the theme and enables it to be applicable to real life. The tale is about a beautiful woman named Beauty who is forced to live with a Beast and eventually learns to see past his appearance and learn to love him. Thus, in the story, the theme portrays that there is more to a person than their outward appearance. This is exemplified with the Beast, who is included in multiple archetypes and is…

The Disney-fication of the Jenne Marie LePrince de Beaumont’s version of Beauty and the Beast is amazing in how she manipulated the elements of the story to change the mood. I wish I could change the mood as easily as Jenne Marie LePrince de Beaumont did. Disney’s version of “Beauty and the Beast” changed Jenne Marie LePrince de Beaumont mood from depressed to joyous. There are many examples of how Disney changed mood, through the words and conflict. First, the change in mood is shown…

The famous fairy tale, Beauty and the Beast originated from the French story, La Belle et la Bete, written by Madame Gabrielle-Suzanne de Villeneuve in 1740. In 1756, Jeanne-Marie Le Prince de Beaumont, a French novelist, shortened the fairy tale and revised it to be appropriate for children. Gabrielle-Suzanne's original version of Beauty and the Beast was over 300 pages and included the history of the characters, several dream sequences, and complex subplots, which Jeanne-Marie removed. Despite…

Hence the fairytale happy ending is accomplished when the unassuming lasses in both movies win the prince charming that is complete with all the bells and whistles. Sure, Gaston, a townsman and potential suitor to Belle in Beauty and the Beast, Prince Eric and the Beast, all have the ability to physically and financially take care of their women and their household, but it became very evident early on in these films that the true coveted rewards were the…

figure. He thinks of things in a different way, Simon is the only one with a real view of the 'Beast'. He has a considerable strength of mind but is frail of body. He enters the book fainting, something that he seems to do regularly and he suffers from epilepsy or some similar condition. In chapter 5 Simon says how there may be a beast on the island, but that "it's only us". He recognises that the beast is not a tangible form but exists as an impulse of evil within each individual; the…

The symbol which gives the novel its name, the severed pig’s head on a stick, and Simon’s encounter with it, visually displays the sadist side of humanity and the temptation of evil. From the beginning of the novel, the child-like fear of an unknown beast represents the growing savagery that exists in humanity. Also, Piggy’s spectacles, as they are destroyed, reflect the destruction of intellect and civilization on the island. The novel Lord of the Flies depicts the mutinous aspects…
