  • Theme Of Abuse In Harry Potter

    1955 Words  | 8 Pages

    Abuse in Harry Potter: First Chapter Analysis The Harry Potter series by J.K Rowling contains a substantial motif of child abuse which I will trace within the first chapter of the first volume. In an empowering yet brutal measure, the book abuses Harry, yet understates its consequences. The narrative informs us how small Harry is for his age, and how he eats only small quantities of bread and cheese when guests are expected, quite reminiscent of the meager meals of many 19th century orphan heroes such as Jane Eyre.

    Harry Potter shares similarities with the stories in the Bible in regards to themes, narratives and characteristics. A few examples would be: The persecutions of the “chosen ones”: Harry Potter’s beginning is similar to that of Jesus and Moses, as they all share the “saved-saviour”-myth: Forecasts have prophesied that they will, in some way, save the people, wherefore the person in charge feared to loose their power – making them try to kill them: When King Herod hears about the Three Wise Men who are on their way to find the new born king of the Jews, Jesus, he decides to kill every boy to the age of two, out of fear that the baby will rob him of his powers.

  • Character Development And Symbolism In Harry Potter By J. K. Rowling

    1084 Words  | 5 Pages

    J. K. Rowling grows in her skills as a writer during the Harry Potter book series. All of the books carry the same basic plot order with few exceptions, but the reason the writing gets better as the books go on is the character development and characterization with symbolism. In the first two books, the focus is on magic and world building whereas the third is about filling in details about the past; specifically about Harry’s father and his friends. Harry’s father, James, and his friends are Animagi and Rowling is careful to pick animals that represent their personalities and roles in the story. Remus Lupin arguably turns into the most dangerous animal out of all his friends especially since he can not control it, but to the audience he is meant to be seen as a character to feel pity and sympathy for.
