    But then again, maybe the names have nothing at all to do with the story. Perhaps, O'Connor simply picked the names randomly out of a hat. It's not an impossible idea. But the chance of the names fitting so superbly to each character of the story, just by happenstance, is one in a million. In conclusion, readers should start to focus more on the names of the characters, because the names might give more insight that what is seen on the surface. Besides, Hulga Hopewell doesn't sound like that bad of a name.

  • Golden Ass

    1126 Words  | 3 Pages

    Apuleius' Golden Ass, the only surviving novel of the Roman Empire, is a tale of a Greek nobleman devoting his life to the goddess Isis following his transformation to an ass and back. Although a work of fiction, the novel reveals a great deal about religion in Apuleius' society. This information, however, must be viewed with a critical eye. He incorporates stories from Greco-Roman mythology not to affirm their validity, but to reveal their commonness to society. Apuleius insults other religions that are not of the Pantheon with severe viciousness, while the general public may have been more open to them. In the end, he praises Isis and Osiris as the supreme gods while giving first hand account of their righteousness. Overall, Apuleius' view of religion cannot be trusted.

  • A Comparison of Little Red Riding Hood and Little Red Cap

    1030 Words  | 3 Pages

    The common elements in the two stories are the wolf, Little Red (Riding Hood/Cap), her grandmother, and her mother. The beginnings of the stories are also similar: Little Red?s mother sends her to grandmother?s house because the grandmother is ill. Both stories mention that Little Red is personable, cute, and sweet. This is something that, on initial inspection, seems irrelevant but holds a deeper meaning for the symbolism behind the story. In both stories, the wolf, wandering through the woods, comes on Little Red and asks where she is going. When Little Red responds that she is going to visit her sick grandmother, the wolf distracts her with the suggestion that she should pick some flowers so that he can get to her grandmother?s house first. The wolf arrives at Little Red?s grandmother?s house before Little Red and disguises his voice in order to be let in. When he is let into the house, he promptly devours the grandmother and disguises himself in her clothes in order to eat Little Red as well. At this point, the two narratives diverge.

  • Hansel And Gretel Duet Literary Analysis

    418 Words  | 1 Pages

    Gretel’s actions to help free Hansel from the witch’s torment involved “comforting [Hansel]... whispering words of encouragement” and tending to his nourishment. Gretel transcends her young age, becoming a motherly figure looking after Hansel, a child. Unlike in the Brothers’ Grimm version, this maturation has an adverse effect on Hansel as he “was ready to fly, but [Gretel] pulled [him] into the witch’s house.” By progressing into adulthood, Gretel traps herself in a cycle of oppression; she has become an evil force similar to the witch, restricting Hansel’s ability to “fly” or be independent. Rather than live happily with their father like in the Brothers’ Grimm version, the family is destined for despair since Gretel’s maturity prevents them from moving on from their
