In the Grimm’s fairytale, the witch’s death is a triumph because the children she has killed or tried to kill, like Hansel and Gretel, return home alive. But in this version of the story, we see the father as prison warden. He bars the door to keep harm out, but the tone of the poem suggests the children are being locked in. The children have escaped the witch only to be held captive by the father. Gretel is in darkness because she has committed murder and can’t live with the memory.
The most enthralling part of the story is when the enraged Lone Power comes after Nita and Kit on the back of an eight-legged, skull-faced beast. (Duane, 151) They flee for awhile, eventually passing through the worldgate into their homeworld with the Lone Power behind them. To stop this enemy from destroying their Universe, Kit and Nita quickly summon a wall of animated trees and statues and begin to read from the bright Book by moonlight, to undo the wrong that the Lone Power has done. Obviously this is an important scene of the book, even the most important part, for it was the climax. As for diction, Christopher "Kit" K. Rodriguez, one of the protagonists, is picked on for his Spanish accent.
Note that the wound on Weathertop is inflicted by the Witch-king, another Satan figure. Frodo's voyage to the west, like Gandalf's, is also symbolic of the Ascension. It doesn't take a biblical scholar to feel some similarity between Frodo's struggle to carry the Ring up Mount Doom and Christ's struggle to carry his cross to Calvary. By the time Frodo reaches Mount Doom, he is so weighed down by the power
They shaved him and his glorious mane. This we can relate to the Bible when Jesus is put on a cross where he was tortured until he finally died. Later Jesus was ressurrected just like Aslan was on the stone table. Another parallel is when Edmund comes into Narnia and is tempted by the White Witch. The White Witch is similar to the devil but the main parallel is how Edmund is tempted with Turkish Delight by The White Witch.
Eventually Proctor is also thrown in jail and in due time is convinced to confess to witchcraft, they have him sign a written confession that will justify all of the other higher stature hangings, Proctor realizes this after he has already signed, “( his breast heaving, is eyes staring, Proctor tears the paper and crumples it, and he is weeping in fury, but erect. )”(Miller 4. 739-40) yet again he acts on the spot with no warning or sign what so ever, he tears the confession so they cannot use his name to hang all the other accused, he is then lead away at dawn with no legal confession to hang at the gallows ending the play an a very dark
While Beowulf is talking to Hrothgar about Grendel, Beowulf says: “Fate will unwind as it must” (286). Christians do not belief in fate, they believed that God as chosen a path for them. Revenge is another Pagan belief which is expressed by Grendel’s mom like this: “Grendel’s mother, a monster, goes to Herot / and kills Hrothgar’s closest friend to avenge her son’s death /. When Beowulf heard about this, he ran into / the black sea after the deadly monster” (Intro pg.56). The last example I am going to give about Pagan values is loyalty.
