There's only one problem. Any relationship beyond friendship is impossible. From the moment Shadowdancer encountered Sorsha, he knew she was a Herd Mistress—a rare worker of magic, key to the Santhyrian nation's survival. His first obligation is to protect her and bring her back to the safety of the herd, but when Sorsha is threatened by Lord Master Trensler and his priesthood, they soon discover Trensler serves a darker master, one willing to devour all magic until the world dies. And that evil wants Shadowdancer and Sorsha. When a second ambush set by Trensler cripples Sorsha’s magic and traps Shadowdancer in the form of a man, they barely escape with their lives. Unwilling to allow her lack of magic to rule her life, Sorsha sets out to teach Shadowdancer that being human isn't a curse. The proud Santhyrian stubbornly tries to push Sorsha away, but when they are endangered once again, they realize they must work together to find a way to heal themselves. If they fail, Trensler’s master will devour first them and then everything else Sorsha and Shadowdancer ever

    Throughout the Samurai’s garden, the majority of they ways that Stephen influences others is mainly by projecting himself amidst of all the other character’s problems. This is not necessarily a bad thing, as it had changed both Matsu, Sachi, and Keiko as people and their mindsets. When Keiko informs Stephen of their break up and her brother’s death, Stephen thinks, “I couldn’t imagine what it must mean for her family to lose their only son” (Tsukiyama 188). Instead of first being devastated of their break up and inquiring Keiko on why and being upset, he comforts her, knowing that she is going through a tough time.

  • An Analysis Of A Jungian Lens In Shakespeare's Hamlet

    1221 Words  | 5 Pages

    Shadow theory is the understanding and analyzation of characteristics that the subject is unaware of: weaknesses, repressed ideas, desires, instincts, and shortcomings. The side of a any given personality which is not consciously displayed in public may have positive or negative qualities, and this is the Shadow self. When the Shadow remains unconscious, it causes problems for the person that holds that Shadow and the people that interact with them. Baker believes, “The Shadow self also embodies many darker aspects of the main character’s personality as well as deeply repressed impulses that aren’t always conspicuous to the reader” (1). When reading Hamlet, readers may not pick up on Hamlet’s Shadow.
