Roland

If you give a villain who is blatantly bad and a hero who is only somewhat bad you are going to root for the hero without a doubt. If you take Ganelon from The Song of Roland, you can see how most villains are a lot like him. Somewhere along the lines of the book he ruins someone’s life, kills, and gets revenge over something insignificant or something that could have been resolved had ego not been at stake. In most stories…

love, faithfulness, kindness and gentleness with a firm hand have been the classic mold of heroes both of old as well as of a newer model and make. To reiterate what has been previously discussed, the Chivalric Code was first mentioned in The Song of Roland, and was later personified into many such ancient tales as that of Arthur and his Knights, as well as more modern tales of superheroes and superheroines. Firstly, to discuss the different definitions of a knight, and the generic mold of one…

Peak, by Roland Smith, has many characters, and even though these characters had great personalities and skills, they had flaws as well. They all were very brave, determined, and courageous, but everyone was more or less selfish. In page 182, it states, “To climb… you have to be completely selfish”(Smith 182). I do think that everyone had shown some selfishness in the book, but some of the characters happened to stand out more than others to me. These characters were Josh Wood, Holly Angelo, and…

In his short book, Roland Barthes enabled a conversation about how and why we engage with a text. It establishes and outlines two categories of text and yet the two classifications of pleasure and bliss are still unable to fully remove themselves from the other. One cannot find bliss in the text without first finding pleasure. It seems to be more of a two-step process to achieving bliss through a text rather than it instantly becoming a blissful text. It is not a dismissal of the classifications…

Roland and Tristan are considered to be the perfect examples of a good vassal but their definition of loyalty and how they express it is completely different. Feudalism was used by kings in order to loan out their kingdoms when they became too large to control on their own. This loan created lords who then figured out that they could not control their countries on their own so they loaned out property to their vassal. This created the term, feudalization of love. Two characters were introduced…

Essay Question #2 Melanie A Morway October 6, 2016 The way that our text book describes Charlemagne and the way that the selection from Einhard describes Charlemagne are different in several ways, yet there are some similarities. Our text book describes him as a man that was instrumental in implementing the practices of a Feudal society in Europe. “Perhaps the most important ruler to codify and adopt these practice was Charlemagne, who dreamed not only of unifying Europe…

On his journey, just as Childe Roland seems to have lost all hope, he encounters a large black bird which he decides must have been sent to him as a guide; in Watchman, Jack finds Jean Louise at her darkest moments and offers cryptic advice to rationalize the absurdities she has encountered since her return to Maycomb. Jack is represented in the poem by this bird in the way that he is the one to explain to Jean Louise what has been going on, and to help her to resolve the issues she has been…
