The Red Queen Character Analysis

160 Words1 Page

In a futuristic novel such as The Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard, there can be several examples of a dystopia evolving. At the beginning of the tale, the reader can discover two different types of people: the Silvers and the Reds. The Reds reside in a miserable region of land referred to as the Stilts, where as the Silvers enslave a few of them in their royal castles, dawdling about with their inhuman abilities. The illustration Aveyard portrays here is a sense of oppression, a lower class struggling through loose ends to survive. The main character of the novel, Mare Barrow, grows tired of “living in the shadows, cells, and darkness…” Which later acts as a plot device to give characters the motivation to distrust, and eventually overthrow,

    In the “Princess Bride” the author talked about three valuable skills, strength, skill and cleverness. Four character show some of these qualities, the people being Westley, Inigo, Fezzik and Vizzini. After Buttercup is kidnapped “The Man in Black” (aka:Westley) follows the other three characters mentioned (pg.96). The author uses the three thieves as a challenge for Wesley. He therefore is challenged by the Silican, Inigo, which is when the challenge of cleverness, strength and, skill begins. Someone can predict that the author will use Westly as a carrier of each skill proving that having just strength, or just cleverness, or just skill will not win you anything but having a balance between each you can easily beat any of the three.

  • Character Analysis: The Heroine Tris Prior

    1267 Words  | 3 Pages

    In my opinion, the title “typical hero” and the dauntless heroine Tris Prior are definitely unrelated based on her personality and uniqueness. As she is a Divergent to her society, she is also an outcast to the typical heroes that we all know and love. With that being said, it is no surprise that the recognition of Tris’ uniqueness and distinctiveness makes her a “non-typical hero”. In particular, we see many heroines with protagonist characters; however, how many typical heroes have the abnormal personality that we find with Tris, showing both antagonistic and protagonist attributes? We may find quite a few amounts of heroes having negative components, since most heroes are strictly protagonists, yet none compares

  • Dystopia Vs Reality

    1597 Words  | 4 Pages

    Nobody knows what the world will look like in the future. In fact many people might think that the world is going downhill. The societies that we live in could become cold, pollution filling the air and streets, and people becoming miserable and ignorant. A utopia is, “an ideal place or state” (“utopia”). In reality, utopias become dystopias very quickly. A dystopia is “a society characterized by human misery, as squalor, oppression, disease, and overcrowding” (“dystopia”). These ideas perfectly describe the society in which the characters in 1984, by George Orwell, live in. Orwell’s purpose of this book was to warn the world to change their ways because people were blindly following leaders like Hitler and Stalin. The characters in 1984 as well as people in real life situations, such as the
