236 Words1 Page

This photo still of Mrs. Potts and Chip from the 1991 film “Beauty and the Beast” represents the correlation between early childhood and animism. During early childhood, it is common for children to think objects have the ability to become alive and take on human characteristics. In the film, “Beauty and the Beast” many natural objects are brought to life and given the opportunity to take on human qualities. For example, Mrs. Potts (Angela Lansbury) and Chip (Bradley Pierce) were actually humans but were turned into household objects due to a curse but were able to keep their personalities.

    1896 Words  | 8 Pages

    Anthropomorphism means “the attributing of human characteristics and purposes to inanimate objects, animals, plants, or other natural phenomena, or to God.” (www.dictionary.com) In easy words we can describe the term as giving human qualities to inhuman things or ‘personifying’ someone or something. As a general example we can say that: “The old banyan tree looked sadly at the river in front of it.” Here, the word “looked sadly” depicts the banyan tree with a sense – that it ‘looked’ and an emotion – ‘sadly’, although trees do not have these ‘human’ qualities within themselves.

    Beauty and ugliness is often used to justify the reaction of others in the novel, Frankenstein; in which the relation between external appearance and internal desires are shown to be related. The theme of how appearance affects judgement is often demonstrated through the characters response to the monster’s physical being. Shelley depicts this situation through Dr. Victor Frankenstein, the Delacey family, and through the monster himself. The use of appearance to determine judgement is shown to be a negative habit.
