  • Thomas S. Hibbs Memento Harry Analysis

    129 Words  | 1 Pages

    Thomas S. Hibbs’ expository essay “Memento Harry” (2011) examines the recurring notion of memento mori in Rowling’s Harry Potter. Hibbs affirms that the Harry Potter series is a tribute to memento mori, “the virtuous cultivation of the memory of death.” Hibbs utilizes parallelism by presenting that the awareness of mortality is the assertion of “life over death, love over hate, and community over isolation,” incorporates logos by analyzing that “remembering and preparing for death are central virtues”, and relates Harry Potter to The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe in order to demonstrate that death is only conquered through selflessness.

  • The Role Of Government In Henry David Thoreau's Harry Potter

    829 Words  | 4 Pages

    Compared to the ideas of nature, solitude, and self-reliance that famous Transcendentalist authors such as Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau express in their many writings and essays, a children’s book such as the Harry Potter series seems like it doesn’t have much to offer in comparison. A 12 year old boy wizard facing magical homework and new, oddball friends and teachers frankly seems a little superficial when put next to Civil Disobedience, an essay exploring the purpose of government and the role of the citizens of that government through the time Thoreau spent in jail for not paying his taxes. However, while on a surface level, Harry Potter may seem like it offers little value outside of children’s entertainment, when examined
