Archetypes In Arrow Of God

Throughout the novel the idea of man vs. society, man vs. man and man vs. surroundings are

different. They both share similar topics, in that they are two stories of cultures, but written from

It may be the same era and the same basic theme between both writings, but there are two significant differences -- social class and physical location. The

The little hurricanes that came brought destruction in many ways, shapes and forms. Victor grew up with alcoholic parents and family. He had a furious love for them even when they could not return the love back. He could remember the good times, they were quickly brought low when the recollection took a turn for the worst. The hurricanes came and went, leaving him to pick up the pieces.

First, the plots of both works need to be discussed and explained how they are different. The stories of both works have basically the same

Victor thought that Thomas might be able to help him because “Victor felt a sudden need for tradition” (78). This quote means that after Victor’s fathers died he wanted to feel like he belongs to the tribal community and traditions. Thomas offers to lend Victor the money on the condition that he accompany Victor to Phoenix, Arizona.

One of the similarities that both passages portray consists of the style of writing, the way the author carries out the messages allow the audience to understand the

There are a lot of people that always take dangerous action. In both literary works, the author uses conflict

The superhero Green Arrow takes on many forms of archetypes. He takes the forms of the wise old man, hero, trickster, and the magician. These archetypes that he portrayed throughout his career help show him as an individual. Each archetype prevails from decisions he made from within his story. Each one manifest different ways he goes about living as hero.

While in this stage, one is (supposed to be happy with their accomplishments and live a productive life). The person will (feel no guilt or remorse for past events), however, this is not the case for Victor. Society (encourages people to live a happy life and to be successful), living a positive life and contributing to the society. Although society wants individuals to live happy lives and view their past as successful, Victor holds onto the guilt of his creation. He lives in the past and spend the rest of his life, after losing Elizabeth, traveling to the ends of the earth to destroy the monster. Victor focuses more on revenge than his own happiness and inner-peace. He holds onto the guilt until the second he dies; looks back and regrets the state he is in now.

Through a lifetime of abuse and suffering, all inflicted at the hand of his only paternal figure, the monster still reveals that he did in fact love Victor in his own twisted way. As exclaimed by the monster in the final pages: “I shall die, and what I now feel be no longer felt. Soon these burning miseries will be extinct. I shall ascend my funeral pile triumphantly and exult in the agony of the torturing flames. The light of that conflagration will fade away; my ashes will be swept into the sea by the winds” (page 277) In this moment, his confliction, and inclination towards a certain dramatic death in order to now right his own wrongs (ironic, right?) reveals him to be even more human than Victor himself, who can only come to the conclusion that he may hold some affectionate feelings for his own creature, a clear representation of what could be his only child: “His words had a strange effect upon me. I compassionated him and sometimes felt a wish to console him, but when I looked upon him, when I saw the filthy mass that moved and talked, my heart sickened and my feelings were altered to those of horror and hatred. I tried to stifle these sensations; I thought that as I could not sympathize with him, I had no right to withhold from him the small portion of happiness which was yet in my power to bestow” (page

Much like Walton, Victor comes upon a fascination of his own, the natural world. This fascination, rather an obsession, is the beginning of the end for Victor as it begins to alienate the character from his loved ones. These types of obsessions can lead someone to lose touch with the importance of family since they no

The pity that the reader once felt towards this child-like creature who was abandoned upon creation, is turned to hatred and fear towards this monster who slaughters innocents. One doesn't blame the parents of a mass murderer for the crimes of their offspring simply because they gave birth to him. So why should Victor be held accountable for the treacherous deeds of his creation? The portrayal of the monster as the villain in this story attributes to the conflicting feelings of whether he is purely good or evil.

The main one was Man vs. Society. This happened when Tessie had won the lottery. She started arguing and screaming to the villagers that it wasn't fair, but they paid no attention to her as they chased her in the village until she was stoned. This was an important conflict because it shows you how much a tradition nobody knows the meaning of meant to them whether you were family or not. Mr. Summers words from the story “All rights folks” and “Let’s finish this quickly” show you that for them it’s just natural for them. The villagers had even forgotten the ritual and the original black box to “The Lottery” the only thing they knew left was the

Even though she said so many good things about his father and about things he was afraid of, Victor did not want to show any compassion for his father. It is like the story on Real Boys, Inside the World of Boys: Behind the Mask of Masculinity. Victor was hiding behind this mask so he would not show his emotions. However, after the accident, he began to think about his father. He understood that no one could be perfect and he finally saw that he really loved his father.
