In the short story by Bessy Hearne Sir Gawain and The Loathly Lady Arthur has many character traits. There are 3 that stand out most to me is honesty,bravery and trustworthy.One day when Arthur was in the forest he met a knight named Sir Gromer.Sir Gromer asked Arthur what women desire most. To meet him in the forest a year from that day, with no armor and no knights. If he didn’t bring the answer to the riddle he would lose his head. Arthur agreed to the bargain.
Nothing that is good ever comes out of the forest, and it is said that it could possibly represent the darker side within ourselves. The forest in tales is often dangerous and caotic. It produces abnormality, witchcraft, and also wolves and predators. The forest is a place where "nothing ever remains innocent” (Orenstein 75). In the “Little Red Riding Hood” tales and variants, the forest is always the setting in which the girl comes in contact with the wolf.
Shakespeare uses a commoner to relate the audience the troubles of the characters, to compare gardening to a king and his country which insinuates specific duties of a monarch, and necessary actions of a king; all of this highlights what Richard has failed to do and shows the audience what should be expected of a king. Shakespeare uses the garden scene in Act 3.4 as the final chapter of his metaphor of nature and England. The ideas of nature as a metaphor “are woven deeply into the thought-web of the play. Each word-theme symbolizes one or another of the fundamental ideas of the story” (Altick 340). For instance the image of a tree is used to symbolize royalty, as far as Richard’s father and uncles.
These natural images that symbolize Willy’s “green” world are immediately contrasted with the “towering angular shapes” of Willy’s “grey” world. Willy’s failing garden cannot overcome the apartment houses that surround them, which impede the life-giving light. Willy’s desire for the natural “green” world is evident when he complains that “there’s not a breath of fresh air in the neighbourhood. The grass don’t grow anymore, you can’t raise a carrot in the backyard” (page 17, line 12). Miller cleverly develops this green vs. grey contrast throughout the play.
The forest plays a very big role in the play; it creates a crazy, dark, wild, and mysterious atmosphere in which the magical elements of Shakespeare’s plot can be played out. For example, while in the forest, Oberon asks Puck to “Fetch me that flower; the herb I showed thee once. The juice of it on sleeping eye-lids laid will make or man or woman madly dote upon the next live creature that it sees” (p. 42). When the magic love juice is sprinkled into someone’s eyes, it causes the person to fall instantly in love with the first creature he or she sees. This seems to be very symbolic of “love at first sight.” In addition, Demetrius tells Helena that “Thou told’st me they were stol’n unto this wood.
Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “Young Goodman Brown” is set in the dark period of Puritan history: the witch-trials. One follows Brown’s reluctant journey into the forest. To the Puritans, the forest has always been a place of evil, and “demonic presence, the ancestral spirits” rest there (Cook). Brown supposedly has a meeting with some witches, but he does not want to be seen with such sort, in fear of being accused of witchcraft. The setting in Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “Young Goodman Brown” subtly brings out additional meanings through symbolism, ultimately reveals Brown’s personality and values, and drastically shows a change in Brown throughout the journey.
That leads to Helena telling Demetrius what was going on, hoping Demetrius would give her another chance, but they both end up tracing the run away couple in the forest. Both sets of couples end up in the forest; they run in to Oberon & Titania, the King and Queen of the fairies. Titania recieves a young indian prince, from the prince's mother, Oberon wants to turn him into a knight. When Titania refuses her prince be turned into a knight, Oberon orders Puck to go recieve a magic flower (love potion). Puck must sprinkle the flower on their sleeping eyeleds, and whoever they lay eyes on first upon waking, they will fall madly in love.
In Bell, Book, and Candle Gillian, a witch, was unable to fall in love unless she was willing to give up her magical powers. In order to get the man she wanted she cast a spell over Shepherd to make him leave his fiance and fall in love with her. Gillian did all of this in hope of not joining the consensus. In the film Bell, Book, and Candle we watched how Gillian and Shepherd’s lives changed as they got to know each other and grew to love one another. Though Shepherd was under a spell and his love was not real at first it became more apparent that Gillian was actually falling in
What does that show children today that when they meet a handsome guy marry them? Another is the Queen, jealous of Snow’s beauty, and wants Snow White dead so she can be the fairest of the land. This shows children that beauty is a competition, but what really matters what is in the inside not just appearances. Lastly, Prince Charming first meets Snow White in her sleep and awakes her with a true loves kiss and they both live happily ever after which barely happens in the real world today! Another fascinating thing about Snow White was the theme.
