Classism In Harry Potter

This quotation illuminates Gertrude’s act of incest which can be classified as an aspect of adultery. Hamlet’s views of marriage are potentially destroyed because of Gertrude’s remarriage and women in general as he states to Ophelia: “Of if thou wilt needs marry, marry a fool; for wise men know well enough what monsters you make of them” (3.1.138-140). Although Gertrude is to blame for Hamlet’s negative outlook on marriage, his misogynistic attitude comes to light as he classifies all women (including Ophelia) as cheaters and liars. Moreover, Hamlet confronts Gertrude for her incestuous and adulterous crimes and speaks: “Nay, but to live / In the rank sweat of an enseamèd bed, / Stewed in corruption, honeying and making love” (3.4.91-94).

Abigail abuses her power by getting Elizabeth Proctor in trouble by accusing her of witchcraft,by doing that, that she hopes to get her dead and she can finally focus on john, because of her love for John , when he rejects her love she wants to get back at him as well. It’s even shown in The crucible, “ABIGAIL, with a bitter anger: Oh, I marvel how such a strong man may let such a sickly wife

Then the witch appear and tell he is going to be king and then he is filled with pride and unrighteous ambition. I think this is something that all of us can relate to. What the witches said, where partial truth and not the whole truth. Maybe it would make the audience as the question, is this too good to be true?

With the coming of sites such as Wattpad- where people can make their own stories, many took to already existing storylines of books and movies and gave their own plot twist and spiced it up, this primarily made the fan fiction genre so popular. Many prefer the fan fiction theories than the original work. This clearly shows the influence of art, movie or books, on the masses and the creation of a new genre ‘Fan Fiction Theory’. Fan Theories around The Harry Potter Series 1) Draco Malfoy is a Werewolf: Draco Malfoy from the beginning of the Harry Potter series has been shown as the rich, self-absorbed brat, mostly because he belongs to a rich, ‘pure’ wizard family- which means all members of the family are of magical descent.

The landlady replies, “Milk and sugar?”(pg.4). This passage has great characterization. When you read about how the landlady acts and speaks you know from the beginning that

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory become a movie. One of his short stories, landlady, don’t have an end, which gives the readers more to think, to imagine. Although in his story adults represent evil, but there is at least one good adult to fight with other evil adults, especially in BFG (Big Friendly Giants). Ray Bradbury and Roald Dahl are both like to write short stories. But they also write novels, like Fahrenheit 451 of Ray Bradbury, and Matilda by Roald Dahl.

Students from this House tend to hate muggle-born, born from non-magical people like Harry’s mother and Harry’s best friend Hermione. The snake’s attributes mentioned before match with the students’ characteristics from Slytherin, who are identified by their craftiness, ingenuity, and ambition, as the Sorting Hat declares in the Philosopher’s Stone “Or perhaps in Slytherin, you’ll make your real friends, those cunning folk use any means, to achieve their ends” (88). In the story of creation, the snake persuaded Adam and Eve to eat the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge, and not the tree of evil, so we can also relate ambition and wisdom to snakes, which will lead us to two of the other attributes of Slytherin’s students. It is not accident that the author chose to have most of Harry Potter’s enemies from this House: Severus Snape (though we realize at the end that he is not his enemy, on the contrary, he has always tried to protect Harry because of his love for Harry’ mother, which shows how powerful love is), Malfoy’s family and friends, the Death Eaters, and his nemesis Tom Riddle, known as Lord Voldemort. It is also important to keep in mind that not all people from Slytherin are evil, although Rowling has contributed to their bad

The Witches are mainly portrayed as ugly hags who find joy in the suffering of others, at least in my honest opinion that’s how they are portrayed. The witches approached Macbeth soon after his victory to tell him their prophecy. The witches chose this time in particular because Macbeth would be drunk with the sweet

She insults him and calls him a coward while also questioning his manhood which makes Macbeth come to a realization that not killing the king is the way of a coward and he is motivated to carry out the plan and murder the king because of Lady Macbeth’s insults and speech that she gives him. By successfully persuading Macbeth into murdering the king this shows that Lady Macbeth is controlling towards people and she can be a very manipulative person. It shows that she is the type of person that gets things done by manipulating other people to do her dirty work for her. Lady Macbeth can simply achieve her own goals by getting into anyone’s head and turning their own conscience against them in, which is essentially what she did to her husband. Macbeth would have never went through with killing King Duncan if Lady Macbeth had never persuaded him because he really does have a soft heart and is good and honorable.

After the victory of Banquo and Macbeth against the king 's traitor Macdonwald the witches presence contract the vibe of manipulation seeking Macbeth as its next victim. As they encounter with Macbeth and Banquo, they start-off questioning the trio of leery ladies. "look not like the inhabitants of the earth, / And yet are on it"; they seem to understand him, and yet he cannot be sure; they "should be women," and yet they are bearded. One by one the witches told Macbeth his upcoming abundance of power leaving him immensely petrified. As a result the prophecies were the contemporary force plaguing Macbeth into slaughtering King Duncan for his aspiration.

The gore-crow’s action really frightened Kay because he thought that the crow was a witch. Wart, on the other hand, was furious because he was mesmerized with the arrow’s perfect movement and the crow interrupted it. It seems as though Kay and Wart have switched personalities because it is now apparent that Wart is the leader and Kay has just developed common sense; Wart wants to go after the bird, whereas Kay wants to go home. 9. At the tilting and the joust that Merlyn set up, King Pellinore and Sir Grummore were acting childish and not at all like the noblemen they were supposed to be.

Henderson tends to be the harshest on women out of the four men. Multiple times throughout the story he voices his opinion to Mrs Peters and Martha. “Dirty towels! Not much of a housekeeper, would you say, ladies?” This quote is making fun of Minnie’s home and how not kept it is.

Participants and Procedure Purposeful and convenience sampling was used in the actual study. Elementary school from five regions (New Taipei City, Hsinchu, Tainan, ZhangHua, and YunLin) in Taiwan were randomly sampled from a list of all elementary schools. Thirty-six classes in Grades 4 to 6 were selected from six elementary schools. One hundred and forty five students (boys, N = 84; girls, N = 96) were participated in the actual study. All participants came from families with two children whose age difference was within four years (either older or younger than the participant).

Because of King James’ Daemonlogie, most people in the 16th century had a skewed view of witches. Many people misunderstand whether the weird sisters in Macbeth are witches or the fates. Weird sisters refer themselves in the text as witches. In Act I Scene III, the witches are conversing about their encounter with the sailor’s wife, she says, “ 'Aroint thee, witch” (104). Also when casting a spell, in Act IV Scene I. the wicked sisters put in their cauldron a “witches mummy” (1713).

In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the storytellers use the Orphan archetype to convey how we as humans often try and put barriers between people they don't like or know because when we see something in a person that we do not like, we are extremely judgmental toward that person. In other words, people tend to solely judge others off of a personality trait that they have, where they came from, and how they act. This is simply a human trait that we have developed over time, but does not help us achieve relationships with other people. In the beginning of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry is seen in his locked room, in a feeble attempt to keep Harry’s magic away from the rest of the family, afraid it would “corrupt them”.
