Beastly Character Analysis

746 Words3 Pages

There are many characters in Beastly but one of the main protagonists is Lindy. Lindy is a smart, beautiful high school female. She changes throughout the story and is put into difficult situations. Before meeting the Beast, Lindy’s life wasn’t very eventful and she wasn’t popular or well known. Just like you and me, Lindy has good and bad moments.
At the beginning of the book, one of Lindy’s high points was when Kyle gave Lindy a rose. To Kyle, the rose didn’t really mean much, but it meant a lot to Lindy. For instance, the rose gave Lindy lots of hope that maybe someday she would find someone who loves her. Kyle though just thought it was a flower that he gave away because it was too cheap for his date, Sloane. It didn’t really seem like much though, but the rose is basically the most important object in the book. It shows up in many different parts and means different things in the different situations, but it basically symbolized the purity of a person and the love between two lovers.
On the other hand, a not so pleasant event was when Lindy’s Dad tried to break into Kyle’s greenhouse. Although that event seemed extremely bad at first, it eventually led to better events. That situation caused some tension and conflict but it helped set the mood. When Lindy’s Dad got caught trying to break into Kyle’s greenhouse, he was so scared that he would have to go to jail or get charged. He kept saying things that he would give to Kyle if he didn’t turn him in, one thing he

    The rose-bush conveys a brighter and joyful tone, which is evident when words like “delicate gems” and “fragile beauty” are used as descriptors. The rose-bush is further talked about as a happy symbol for people walking into the prison: “...and to the condemned criminal as he came forth to his doom, in token that the deep heart of Nature could pity and be kind to him.” This quote shows parallelism while talking about someone’s heading to their doom, and having something even that small to give them joy. The parallelism used here is in place to help shift the tone from gloomy and depressed, to something brighter and happier.
