Being the archetypal youth, David performs justice to his role as an archetype. While living with his uncle, David kept getting the idea that his uncle was trying to take his inheritance away from him. David’s uncle, Ebenezer Balfour, starts to prove David’s suspicion, when he sends David to the side of the house. Due to the lightning, David discovers that there are hardly any steps and he could have fallen and died. Uncle Ebenezer brushes the idea off of David’s mind, but continues to try to kill David in order to obtain the inheritance. As a second attempt, Uncle Ebenezer takes David along to see Hoseason at the Queen’s Ferry. Hoseason, partnered up with Ebenezer, takes David on the ship to “look around”. As soon as David gets on the ship, he is knocked unconscious and taken away. David realizes his uncle’s truth when he is taken away, “Help! Help! Murder! -and my uncle turned round where he was sitting and showed me a face full of cruelty and terror” (Stevenson 36). Being the archetypal youth, David has already gone through external enemies such as Ebenezer and Hoseason. Ebenezer tried to kill David by tricking him into climbing a dangerous stairway. When that fails, Ebenezer gets his nephew kidnapped and tries to arrange for David’s death through a group of seamen. It is David’s first battle against his uncle as he finds out what his uncle really is and what his uncle wants. Throughout his journey, David meets Alan who becomes his best friend and together, they fight the men on the ship. David explains the outcome of the fight as,

Uncle Axel for his knowledge and educating him for the things that he never knew about or were beyond his imagination. Uncle Axel provided him the confidence of accepting and believing in his ability and himself. For example, Uncle Axel asks David “What do you think it is that makes a man a man?' I started on the Definition. What makes a man a man is something inside him. No, what makes man is mind; it's not a thing, it's a quality” (80). In this quote we see that David learns an important lesson about the image of man. Uncle Axel seems to explain it well but David wonders how he came up with this because if he was to ask Joseph this question he would’ve said something like" What makes a man a man is how he look" (80). David looks up to Axel like a step father he is given him advice for the world and his surroundings. Sophie for her kindness, strength, and her heartwarming personality she has showed this when her foot was stuck under the rock and by always having a smile on her face. Sophie was very kind to David when they first encountered, she showed much affection towards David. David remarks towards Sophie were, “She likes to have fun, be excited, and be happy" (7). David comments, "She is empathetic” (8). When seeing all these qualities of Sophie, David set a mindset she was a norm. Therefore, when finding out that Sophie has six toes, he was very astonished because throughout David’s life he has been taught that deviations are a sin. When encountering one it made David think the exact opposite. This caused David to question that Sophie could not be a deviation because she is found to be very out going. So he realizes that Sophie couldn’t be portrayed as an evil person. When David, "Finds it hard to see how the very small toe on each foot could make much difference either."(55). David begins to trust her

As in “where are you going, where have you been?” the theme they are trying to rule is evil and temptation lead to all things. As Oates is trying to show that hell through the character Arnold Friend, who is the devil, and Connie will be the low self a stem girl who will fall into committing a sin. As the story plays out Arnold Friend is the devil which as he is trying to take Connie and bring her under his wing and kill her. As the story, plays out they give clues that Arnold Friend is indeed the devil by a quote “Connie looked away from Friend’s smile to the car, which was painted so bright it almost hurt her eyes to look at it. It said the name, Arnold Friend”. He refers to her as a friend which is him putting on a show. Though what Carol

There is a time Hester asks him for help when the old minister tries to take Pearl away from her, she says “Thou wast my pastor, and hadst charge of my soul, and knows me better than these men can. I will not lose my child! Speak for me! Thou knows,—for thou hast sympathies which these men lack!—thou knows what is in my heart, and what are a mother’s rights, and how much the stronger there are when that mother has but her child and the scarlet letter! Look thou to it! I will not lose the child! Look to it!” (105). At that time there’s an opportunity that he could tell everyone the truth and stand up for them, but he chooses to hide it instead to admit what he has done and allow everyone to learn from his imperfection. He is the worst sinner because he is a coward that he decides not to confess to everyone even though he has so many opportunities.

Tubman’s life is an illustration of unrewarded merit, as was the lives of all slaves of her time. Harriet accepted those who rejected her and persisted in her righteous efforts even when not appreciated, even when those less observing of appreciation were recognized before her. Tubman was able to do this because she sought the approval of God before the approval of men. She preached a philosophy of hating the sin but forgiving the sinner. Tubman opposed and resisted slavery.

Connie does not have any control over what people do to her, however, the criticism she takes from her mother whenever she compares her to her sister June combined with her mother’s insults gives Connie a low self-esteem and insecurity about herself; she thinks she is “less worthy” because of this and makes her think her beauty is everything, that she is nothing without it.

Uncle Axel also changes David's outlook on the true image of man, he explains to him how it's not one's physical features that define him, but what's in his mind.

“Great ambition is the passion of a great character. Those endowed with it may perform very good or very bad acts. All depends on the principals which direct them.” This is a quote by Napoleon Bonaparte. Ambition is a theme that is visible within the novel “The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz” and the film “The Wolf of Wall Street”. Both Duddy Kravitz, the main character of the novel, and Jordan Belfort, the main character of the film, are both are excessively ambitious and would do anything to accomplish their goals and to become a successful individual. Growing up in poverty may provoke ones ambition; however it has the ability to cloud ones judgement and morals, and may guide one on the path of illegal activity.
