Comparing D Artagnan And David From The Bible

1095 Words5 Pages

In this paper, I will be discussing how D’Artagnan and David from the Bible are similar and different. D’Artagnan was just a poor boy that did not have much and was from Gascony. David from the Bible was a godly man who also was a shepherd that lived in Bethlehem. We will be looking at David’s life through 1 Samuel 16-18 in the Bible. While with D’artagnan we will view his life from the book The Three Musketeers. In the Bible it shows us how David is a man after God’s own heart, and even though he still makes mistakes God loves him. David was known as a man of God’s own heart because he was very faithful to God. In 1 Samuel 17, David was faithful by obey God and going to fight the giant known as Goliath. David was so thankful …show more content…

D’Artagnan only cares for himself as we can obviously see in the first chapter. Both men have different personalities and we know this because of the way they act. David is very humble and loving to God, while D’Artagnan is very ignorant and self-centered. David is humble because he appreciates everything that he has according to 1 Samuel 16-18. “Jonathan took off the robe he was wearing and gave it to David, along with his tunic, and even his sword, his bow and his belt. Whatever mission Saul sent him on, David was so successful that Saul gave him a high rank in the army. This pleased all the troops, and Saul’s officers as well(1 Samuel 18: 4-5 NIV).” D’Artagnan is ignorant and self-centered because he expects to get something out of everything that he does. This is shown in chapter five that by siding with the Musketeers, D’Artagnan will most likely get a good word to the king and make him look better. David and D’Artagnan are both loyal to someone for very different reasons. David is loyal to God because he believes in his word. While D’Artagnan is loyal to the Musketeers because he believes that he will get something out of it. We can see through each of their actions how they really are different from one another. Due to David’s loyalty and him not expecting to receive a reward, God chose David to be the next …show more content…

David was calm during the entire time he was fighting with Goliath and D’Artagnan was quick to accepting the challanges with Athos, Porthos, and Aramis. D’Artagnan gets into many fights and he doesn’t care who it is as long as he gets something out of it. D’Artagnan only listens to his father about fighting and ignores everything regarding the three things he gave to him. This shows that D’Artagnan is only thinking about was is best for him in that moment. D’Artagnan was very ambitious when it came to the things he wanted. D’Artagnan’s plan to get close to the Musketeers is to better his chances to be one. This plan begins to unveil itself as he gets a position in Treville’s brother-in-law’s guard. Undoubtedly D’Artagnan is getting closer and closer to being a Musketeer. His parents supported him and his ambitions to be a Musketeer as we can see in chapter 1. In my opinion, D’Artagnan and David are similar in some ways. They are similar because they are both very loyal to someone they look up to. D’artagnan does it for his self interest and David does it because he loves God and wants to please Him. While they are similar in that

Jonathan rescues David from his father, the most notable of which occur when he vows to shoot his arrows in locations that correspond with David’s level of safety. David wouldn't even be alive were it not for Jonathan’s archery skills and being a great friend. When Jonathan dies, David loses the person he was closest with, whose love was stronger than any woman’s, which hinders his excellence through his grief and

The fact that David did not want to save the cat in the first place, yet he did it to preserve Sharon 's feelings for him is very ironic. While wanting to look like a noble man in Sharon 's eyes, even though she already viewed him in that way, David wound up negatively changing how Sharon perceived his character and integrity. Insecurities in himself and in his relationship become evident when he seems to care so deeply about what the cat strangers think about him. “I wanted to briefly be adored by strangers, to be remembered as a handsome and kind man, a better man, more complete, even saintly”.
