Freedom In Bless Me Ultima

Joseph Campbell’s Hero Cycle In Relation to Bless Me, Ultima From the moment Anaya wrote Antonio Marez into existence his character mirrors the departure in Joseph Campbell's’ hero chart. Even during his birth, his parents argue over what path he will follow. Consequential to their obsession of molding Tony in their image, his parents are absent throughout his devastating experiences, despite the fact they are quite overbearing. With his parents’ desperate attempt to vicariously live through Antonio, and all their other children also “having lived with the dreams of their father and mother haunting them,” Tony assumes the role as the leader of his family (Anaya 67). Joseph Campbell's call to adventure, or what triggers a hero’s journey, applies to Antonio when he witnesses Lupito’s death.

Mayella was accusing Tom of raping her. She didn’t provide very strong evidence to support her claim and always sound nervous that she isn’t going to say the right answer, including when she is asked by Atticus if she loves her father, “‘Do you love your father, Miss Mayella.’ was his next. ‘Love him, whatcha mean?’ ‘I mean, is he good to you, is he easy to get along with?’ ‘He’s tollable, ‘cept when—‘ ‘Except what?’ Mayella looked at her father who was sitting with his chair tipped against the railing. He sat up straight and waited for her to answer. ‘Except when nothing’, said Mayella.” (Lee 245).

All children have a unique and personal bond with their parents. Whether or not a parent is always present in child’s life, they always manage to have some type of impact on their child’s life. Loung Ung’s father had an extremely profound impact on her life as well as the rest of her family. Without even reading her memoir, First They Killed My Father, you can discern from the title that Loung Ung’s father played a crucial role in her upbringing. Sadly you can also gather from the title that Loung’s father is dead which implies that Loung did not have an exceptionally happy childhood.

I have already talked about Simon being a walking miracle, but I haven’t talked about his relationship with Rebecca. Rebecca basically took on the responsibility of mothering Simon. She was a gift from God to Simon. She made him feel welcome in this world when everyone was yelling at him that he was a mistake. She also came to his rescue when the Sunday school lady was keeping him late.

James and Octavia’s relationship characterizes a unique paradigm of mother and son affection. Simultaneously, she must also fill in the fatherly love James is deprived of due to his father’s absence, which plays an important role in how she raises James. A mother’s love is unconditional and nurturing, however, Octavia provides a “harsh” standard of love with the expectation that James will mature into an independent man. At a young age, James learned to display no gesture of vulnerability. As much as he wishes to convey love to his mother, he need to refrain because, she says, “that’s weakness and that’s crybaby stuff” (1).

The Electra theory is the psychosexual theory, where girls are in competition with their mothers for possession of their fathers. This is when a daughter would begin feeling resentment towards their mother, and often try to break their emotional bond in order to become closer to their father. Furthermore, the daughter would become “father-fixated”, while the son would become “mother-fixated”. While this stage happens early in a child’s life, the resentment towards their parent may continue further on in life. In particular this stage of their lives can be left unsolved if a parent becomes absent within the child’s life, or if they have died.

This story is about understanding that not being the same people your parents are is okay because you are special in your own way.

The conflict Toni faces has such a tremendous impact on him that it besets his dreams. Influences are strong especially when you’re young and it’s coming from your parents. “Once I had told my mother about the dreams, and she said they were visions from God and she was happy, because her own dream was that I should grow up and become a priest. After that I did not
