747 Words3 Pages

Even though the theme Freedom of Speech relates strongly to adults and children, the theme Beauty of Darkness, also successfully applies to humanity of all ages as well. Darkness is assumed as evil opposite of light. However, in the novel the main character, Haroun, always thinks that dark is evil. When Haroun encounters the Shadow Warrior, he discovers the beauty of the Shadow Warrior swordsmanship, as it states:

" And his athleticism and

swordsmanship were beyond anything Haroun had ever

seen. No matter what tricks his shadow played, the warrior

    Plato once said that “We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.” Outsiders, members of illegitimate societies, are shunned because of limitations and restrictions in society. They tend to gravitate towards the light, but very few complete their journey. In Othello, The Great Gatsby, and The Death of a Salesman, heroic ambitions for acceptance and escape from the darkness are combated by societal expectations, shown through the light, which acts as a lure, towards societal norms and goals.

One of these archetypes is the psyche element of the shadow, which encompasses a person’s repressed thoughts, feelings, and impulses.

In “The Child and the Shadow,” LeGuin shows that the genre of fantasy is the best way to approach such archetypes for children.

    Beauty and ugliness is often used to justify the reaction of others in the novel, Frankenstein; in which the relation between external appearance and internal desires are shown to be related. The theme of how appearance affects judgement is often demonstrated through the characters response to the monster’s physical being. Shelley depicts this situation through Dr. Victor Frankenstein, the Delacey family, and through the monster himself. The use of appearance to determine judgement is shown to be a negative habit. By automatically associating ugliness with evil, and beauty with innocence, society unintentionally develops a negative being in those considered ugly, while at the same creating an illusion of innocence over beautiful individuals.
