Personal Narrative: The Triple Goddess

266 Words2 Pages

The Triple Goddess speaks…. I wish that the aggression of mortals would cease to amaze me. Frankly it never shall to say the least. Greed, avarice, pride, lust and gluttony all combine to undo Fortuna’s delicate handiwork. Pulled strands stray away from the main tapestry. Each thread threatening to rip the main craft asunder. Such was the malice of my former servant, Morgana Pendragon. Again and again, she injected fire and terror unduly into the populace in my name. Yes, I had issues with Uther and his son, Arthur, for their repression of the Old Religion. Still I never advocated wholesale slaughter and mayhem. Certainly she has shamed Avalon with her malice. To balance her, Merlin or, as my followers refer to him, Emrys, champions the

    She is stronger than others, so others fear her for it. Antonio questions her wisdom and success, “The power of the doctors and the power of the church had failed to cure my uncle… Was it possible that there was more power in Ultima’s magic than in the priest?” (103).

  • Personal Narrative: A Ghostly Spark

    658 Words  | 3 Pages

    A Ghostly Spark Introduction (reveal): Native American culture has always been an interest of mine. Since my beginning with the Boy Scouts of America on my path to Eagle Scout, I have come closer to the dense but often forgotten history of the First Nation people of America. Upon joining the Order of the Arrow, the BSA’s honor society centered around Native American virtues and beliefs, I have continued to take it upon myself to learn more about the long forgotten Native history. While I knew about the general struggles the Native Americans faced as “white man” invaded the unharnessed Western frontier, I had not learned about the specific catalyzing incidents that caused such conflict and suffered between these two cultures. While searching through topics like native music and combat, I knew I needed an event that sparked the rift between these two types of people, growing U.S. government and early

  • Comparative Themes In Shakespeare's Beowulf And Paradise Lost

    1014 Words  | 5 Pages

    Heroism, pride, distress, conflict and morals are all components which produced the literary piece. Each character had different motives for their aggression, but whether it was for revenge or out of pure enjoyment, the killing was always present. But above all, envy played the main candidate for what would come to be a bloodbath. The author uses envy and revenge as a motive for action, by creating a sense of aggression and purpose of the evil characters. Envy was shown through the eyes of a demon, Grendel, who sought after those who cherished and enjoyed the treasures of Heorot and their king, Hrothgar.

  • Short Story: False Heir To The Throne Of Camelot

    1767 Words  | 8 Pages

    Merlin nodded, fighting back a yawn, hoping to get to bed; however, the Innkeeper preferred to waste the early morning hours reliving every moment he had spent in the company of one Morgana Pendragon, False Heir to the Throne of Camelot. At first, Merlin had sympathised with his shock, but now the Innkeeper’s exclamations of dismay, disbelief and faith lost in human honesty altogether were becoming irritating. In truth, he could no longer tell whether the Innkeeper was still as shocked as he claimed, or simply relishing the opportunity to spread the word about town. “It 's imperative that you keep this information to yourself, Sir,” he said, cutting through a second speech. “We don 't want the ordinary people to panic.”

  • How Does Virgil Use Violence In The Odyssey

    1786 Words  | 8 Pages

    Although Virgil’s composition of The Aeneid mirrors the works of Homer, stylistically and in its overarching narratives, Virgil’s culture is separated from Homer’s by over a millennium. The coupling of deadly violence and prestige in The Iliad and The Odyssey has had time to mature and expire, and Virgil uses this new flexibility to shift the definition of violence to one compatible with fresh Roman standards. Violence grows crueler, war more chaotic. Virgil’s evaluation of violence raises questions about the scope of violence in Rome and The Aeneid -- was deadly violence considered a necessary evil or universally regrettable? The gods seem to have the ultimate authority in beginning wars but they are fickle and nearsighted.

    The war is called a feud to downplay its violence in the beginning, but there is no way to downplay that “we now behold a people whose wrath is not assuaged by slaying someone, but who deem that a man's breast, arms, and face afford a kind of food” (Juvenal 4). The use of paradox and oxymoron understates the severity of the issue, while the use of hyperbole and charged words provides the cynical tone that makes Juvenalian satires, especially this one, effective
