Who Is The Protagonist In Perelandra

318 Words2 Pages

f I were in Perelandra by C.S. Lewis, I would have stayed close to the Woman and not let her associate with the ‘Un-Man’. She would have been in less danger if she wouldn’t have spent as much time with the enemy. I also wouldn’t have allowed Weston to to tempt the Woman as much as he tempted her.

Ransom fought hard and wounded the Tempter. Then chased him almost across the planet until the Tempter’s demise at the flames of a volcano.

  • Catherine Sedgwick's Hope Leslie: Scene Analysis

    1007 Words  | 5 Pages

    The scene I chose to close read is from Hope Leslie, which was written by Catherine Sedgwick and published in 1827. During this scene, Magawisca was retelling the story of the Pequod War from her perspective as a Native American to Everell, who was white. She described how the Europeans attacked the Pequods and how they killed several Natives. After Magawisca tells her version of the story, Sedgwick discussed how this affected Everell and his opinion about Native Americans. In this scene, Magawisca’s recollection of the Pequod War positively changed Everell’s perspective about Native Americans, established a deeper bond between Everell and Magawisca, and showed Sedgwick’s feelings of sympathy and admiration for the Natives.

In society, it is incredibly hard to take a different stance than your peers and choose an alternative to the ordinary.
