Children are uncanny. Seeing the children grow is fascinating, but what one fails to comprehend; these creatures of nightmares have claimed many lives. There is none other to blame but the Creators who created the monstrosity. Nicolas Abraham and Maria Torok believed that “traumatic events or secrets could be passed on without coming to conscious attention," (Smith 146); thus, the children are embodiments of ones worst nightmares. I will argue that in The Black Cat, there exist, what Abraham…

Life of Pi is a meta-fiction that inquires the reader’s faith. Using meta-fiction to his advantage, Matel questions the disparity between reality and imaginary. In his novel, he explores the contrast of mother nature, her gentle aura and her cruel behaviour. Her gentle side is demonstrated through the protagonist’s interpretation of the fauna and flora. Whereas, her cruel side is illustrated by Pi’s vivid encounter with ferocious animals. Hence, in the novel, the author portrays the…

I argue that The Monster emerges from the darkness of the souls of the residents of Whilomville. After his heroic action, Henry Johnson lost everything: his identity, friends and popularity, he became “the monster”, “the dark figure” (28), “the devil” (32). (Which is, as defined by the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the most powerful evil spirit in Christianity), even a dragon. All of these connotations are associated with darkness, immorality, something that can be reflected in several residents…

Orion is my favourite constellation because its the middle name of my hero, Sirius Black which tragically died falling into a veil in 1998. I also like Orion because it is truly beautiful and its not hard to see at night. This constellation is named after ‘the hunter’ in Greek mythology. Orion, which is located on the celestial equator, is clearly visible in the night sky from November to February. Real Myth: There are several myths about how Orion was created but the one i have come to like…

The idea of monsters have played a role in society since the beginning of civilization. In the novel Grendel, I believe Grendel is useful for the humans in the novel. As the dragon said in chapter() Grendel is the monster that makes the human think, plot, and become smarter. Grendel provides the fear that makes the human evolve, by stimulating them to change or adapt. It would be hard to say whether the world would be better with or without Grendel. Humans can be monsters themselves, they do…

Throughout Beowulf and Frankenstein there have been parts in the book in which characterize certain actions and certain themes that make the book’s interesting, for example in Beowulf it was the action of pride that lead Beowulf to accomplish what he did and die the way he died. Because beowulf was being so prideful he did not listening to an advise that a wise king gave him about pride and went on to do the things he did, the way he did them. In frankenstein it was the idea of nature,…

This chapter focuses on Nite Owl and Silk Spectre. The chapter opens with Laurie in Dan’s basement workshop where she is exploring his airship and accidentally mistakes a flamethrower for a dash lighter. Dan is on edge, as costumed heroes are being targeted (the Comedian dead, Dr. Manhattan left to Mars, Veidt was almost shot, and Rorschach got arrested). Laurie is impressed with Dan’s airship and equipment. Their relationship is clearly starting to grow more romantic. We learn that Dan’s father…

Yes, I think that the narrator was responsible for doodles death. The narrator push doodle to hard causing him to die. The narrator wanted to kill doodle from the start because he wanted to push a pillow on to his face and make doodle die. The narrator also hated his brother doodle because he was an invalid brother. The narrator was always negative about doodle and everyone around him. On page 1 “Everybody thought that doodle was going to die.” The narrator was saying that because he wants…

One of the most controversial and condescending themes brought up throughout Frankenstein is the boundary of science and technology. In her “Home is Where Mamma Is: Reframing the Science Question in Frankenstein,” Banerjee emphasizes the line that Victor Frankenstein crosses in his creation of the monster and his obsessive scientific pursuit that eventually led to dangerous technological advances and his downfall. Firstly, Banerjee commences her article by labeling Victor’s experiment as a male…

The last type of archetype is archetypal journey. This archetype is used to picture the hero’s type of quest. The most evident archetypal journey used in anime are Warriors journey to save the people and Quest to rid the land of danger. In Mobile Suit Gundam Seed, Kira with his allies fought against Lord Djibril’s to save the world for possible destruction. Second is Code Geass, where Lelouch wanted to overthrow the government to expunge the gap and have equality between people. Next is…
