199 Words1 Page

At the beginning of the novel “The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe” the author, C. S. Lewis says that the novel is written for his goddaughter, Lucy. Lewis, in turn, names the main character and youngest child in the book Lucy. As Martha described in her book Lucy is innocent, pure and kind. When reading “The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe” Lucy was the character in the novel that I felt most connected to. The Chronicles or Narnia books were written for children as an allegorical devise to interest children in Christianity. Due to Lucy childish innocence she is the perfect character to draw children into the story. Lucy embodies the mannerisms that most well behaved children are expected to have. She does not lie, she forgives others,

    She suffers unbelievable tragedy with the death of her only son and husband in a matter of a month, yet she is one of the only static characters because it does not change her. Willie is Lucy’s first love and they both come from humble beginnings in Mason County. She is largely domestic (Jack spends a good portion of the first chapter describing Lucy in a state of “bliss of self-fulfillment” because she served dinner successfully) and makes many sacrifices for Willie’s career- she stays married to him despite his affairs with multiple women (Warren 1.51). Lucy’s main internal conflict is looking for a “something so [she] could live” after Willie and Tom’s death (Warren 10.590).

    Lucy is the most rebellious out of the three, as even her name – the female version of Lucifer, the fallen angel – suggests. She rejects her mother’s attempt to make her the ideal daughter who is ethical, submissive and decent.

  • Summary Of Karen Russell's St. Lucy's Home For Girls Raised By Wolves

    733 Words  | 3 Pages

    Karen Russell's “St. Lucy’s Home For Girls Raised By Wolves” is a story of lycanthropic girls who have been raised by their wolf parents who are being assimilated into human culture by forceful nuns. Claudette is the main character who is also telling the story. She faces many achievements and struggles, but by the end of the story Claudette has clearly conformed to human culture. This is supported when Claudette shows her loss of wolf-like traits, such as when she loses compassion for her pack members, and in the later stages when she starts to have complex human thoughts and starts to lose detectable traces of her wolf origins. Claudette encounters cultural shock and struggles to assimilate, however, she also reaches many milestones on her journey to becoming human.

In Lord of the Flies, William Golding shows that without the influence of a civilized society and law and order, people’s characteristics can change drastically. Similarly in Macbeth, Shakespeare represents the loss of morality of a leader as his hunger for power clouds his judgement. Both pieces of literature present how both writers view the breakdown of morality through the breakdown of civil behaviour.
