Hogwarts: Biblical Allegory Of The Bible

In line 48, Adams

I love the Bible Dictionary’s definition of repentance, it says that repentance is a translation of a Greek word that means a change of mind, a fresh view about God, about oneself, and about the world.

We can know what to change, or what is not beautiful, through the Holy Ghost (2 Nephi 32:5). As we do so we will come closer to Christ and better recognize the love and mercy of God through the beauty of the

The Glass Jar can be viewed through a Christian reading through the poem’s exploration about the eternal struggle between good and evil. The poem’s opening of “one summer’s evening” sets the poem’s narrative style while alluding to a fairy tale; indicative of the child’s innocence.

Harwood uses metaphysical imagery and religious connotations to create a power struggle in the poem between good and evil forces. The jar becomes a symbol of hope as the boy attempts to catch the “sun’s disciples” to protect him through the night.

The speckled band!’ whispered Holmes” (page 17). The snake has the most important role in the story, but is mentioned the least.

The Ghost says," a serpent stung me says the whole ear of Denmark... The serpent that did sting thy fathers life now wears his crown"(1.5.43-44, 46-47). The Ghost talks about how the country of Denmark had been fed a twisted story of the truth. A metaphor can be found in the second part of the quote. Ghost Hamlet compared Claudius to a snake because of his lying and deceitfulness.

The demons waited near a magnificent black palace, the black gates cut open with a strange rhythmic clicking. A powerful demonic aura burst out, as two predator vertical slits shined from the palace.

The classical ideas of calmness, stoical patience, and broad-mindedness should be joined in human conduct with the Christian virtues of love, faith, and hope” (McKay 384). The themes of love and hope hold prominence in many of Shakespeare’s tragedies. His ability to illustrate characters through actions and emotions largely associates him with this central idea.
