Book Report : ' Satan Closed The Door '

the king of all evil: Satan (Spenser 914). As his “red and black” body descends upon his foe, “blazing

As I read my novel “Devil on my Heels,” by Joyce Hinton, there was a theme the appeared over and over again in the book. The theme that appealed to me was you’re unique in your own ways, don’t let people judge you by the outside/ appearance. It is the point of view where you realize no one in life is perfect, you’re unique in your own fashion. As where many people in life can or could feel this way.

Notably, in this location exists a cave that people identifies as an opening to the underworld where Pan’s presence reigns; called the gates of hell. Moreover, surrounding the entrance, pagan’s enigmatic practice of rituals evolves among the shrines, and sanctuaries; manifestly, niches in the rocks create wedging to place statues of various gods and goddesses. Possibly, the unseen presence of Pan encircles Jesus and His unwanted travelers; as outwardly, weird sounds in swirling winds echo. Seemingly, the air resonances full of lurking spirits within this haunting region. Repugnantly, Pan’s visible existence becomes apparent, as a wooden statue of the goat god with an erect phallus stands among the rocky area. As a consequence, to honor the

Oftentimes, the devil is depicted as an evil deity sitting in the depths of a burning pit, plotting the demise of mankind and creating all the evils that are in the world. However, in The Screwtape Letters, C. S. Lewis, using a series of letters from an experienced tempter to his protégé, makes the case that this is false. He portrays the devils as a perverted spirit, the opposite of a guardian angel. Unlike God who truly loves man and embraces his individuality, the devil’s main objective is to cultivate humans for food, consuming their uniqueness. “We want cattle who can finally become food… we want to suck in… we are empty and would be filled”[i] Screwtape, the demonic mentor of Wormwood, writes bluntly in his letter in Chapter 8. In their

In the artist’s palate, the color red is very relevant to the subject of Quetzalcóatl. This color covers the whole plate showing how significant red is to this piece of artwork. Correspondingly this red isn’t a normal bright red, but more of a mahogany red to represent the symbolism of blood within the story of Quetzalcóatl. The Indianapolis Musuem of Art explains, “Quetzalcóatl was an important Mesoamerican hero-god who created humanity from his own blood.”1 The red symbolizes blood because of the connection of the color red, blood is red and also this piece is mostly red, so we can speculate that the artist chose the color red to connect the story of Quetzalcóatl making humanity from his own blood. Similarly the brown on the serpent, even has a reddish tint to it. It is evident

“At the beginning of the cycle, the darkness calls, drawing like to like until one comes who is empty: like a vessel who will gather the darkness into it, and enable infection to grow and extend like cancer. The vessel has come, the darkness now gathers” (page 84). Evil that gathers in Cheshunt comes in shades of colours: “fire-red” and “uniform-blue”. But each of these evils are defeated by “love-white”. The mental battle of evil and how evil can be abusive, aggressive and violent (fire-red) and the deceptiveness and dishonesty of authority (uniform – blue) can be hard to fight, but the good (love-white) overcomes all and wins against any colour of evil even though every colour makes white and every shade of evil makes up good.

“My brothers…that fatal hunt is up, and harrying our streets today. See him there, that angel of the pestilence, comely as lucifer, shining like Evil’s very self! He is hovering above your roofs with his great spear in his right hand, poised to strike, while his

Here, the color red represents the embarrassment and degradation involved in confronting human sin. The color red also symbolizes the scorching flames of shame in association with hell and Satan. This shame inflicts physical and mental torture upon both Hester in publicly wearing the scarlet “A” as well as Dimmesdale in privately suffering from the effects of his sin. When several townspeople spread a rumor that the scarlet letter is “red-hot with infernal fire,” it is explained that the

It appears that Gerald G. May personal experience limited Mr. May in his practice as a doctor when attempting to help other’s sense distress may cause the spirit to encounter ‘’The Dark Night of the Soul” even when pertaining to his own life. Nevertheless, be not dismayed since God bring growth of faith and the insecurities may not be as though it seems. However dark nights leads to true spiritual wholeness. Mr. May mentioned not having the will to help himself or others without having faith and God. It’s helpful when a person seeks spiritual when their life has been chemically depended on various addictions. In this profession I believe the individual’s already encounter shame and loss. Therefore the goal would be to assist with helping them

The picture that is described in the canto of Satan is one that would somewhat satisfy the reader. Although most people think of sateen as a red devil with a pointy tell Dante describes the Satan in the inferno differently. In which he towers like a giant with 3 heads and each head with a different color he look like a beast with wings like a bat. If you look closely Dante did satisfy the reader because the wings that he descried in the inferno are very similar to what most people play them out to be which bat like. The color on his middle head is red which that is what a lot of people truly think of when they hear Satan which is him being red.

In the great land of Helena, a young man named Raven was at his farm working when a bright light appeared in the distance. This light was as bright as the sun and he felt like it was calling him. Raven approached this bright light. He reached it and a beautiful lady stood before him when the light dimmed. “You must go on a journey far away to protect this great world,” called the goddess. “You must travel through the sea to the Lonely Island to defeat the powerful demon that lives there.

In the short story ¨Masque of the red death¨ an allegory written by Edgar Allan Poe, a party is being host by Princess Prospero and taken place in seven rooms of a castle in Europe during the fourteenth-century and the time of when the ¨Red Death¨ swept through Europe. The party was taken place after six month of contemptuously being locked away in the castle from the ¨Red Death¨. In the party there was seven rooms of different colors; there was blue, purple, green, orange, white, violet and a black rooms to make it a more festive and happy party. The black room was decorated with black cloth and golden lamp even though they did not emit any light in the room, only the glass windows fail to coordinate with the room. They were of a deep blood

The role of Satan in Job 1 and 2 was that of God’s adversary (cite book pg. 313). He was allowed to appear before God and challenge his followers. God agreed to the challenge and allowed Satan to do whatever he wanted to Job except touch him. Satan was trying to prove that the only reason Job was such a faithful follower was because he was being protected by God. Job was a very wealthy man who had 7 children, and a large farm. Satan took all of that from Job and he still continued to worship God. Satan again was allowed to approach God and voice his opinion that Job was only continuing his faithfulness because no harm had come to him personally. So God allowed Satan to do anything except kill him. Satan did his best, but Job did not

Despite the fact that Satan’s evil attempt failed he managed to enter the transformation phase into the master of two worlds. Through his attempt at casting humanity into damnation with him he accepts his ability to rule on earth by mastering the art of persuasion and his rule in his eternal wasteland known as hell.

Satan was in a well-respected position while in Heaven, and therefore it is hard for him to acknowledge his current state publicly. His fear of how others perceive him interferes with him expressing his true feelings. Satan is still logical and he “does not degenerate: he is degraded.”(Waldock 417). In other words, Satan’s mentality after the fall is the same as it was before, yet his drop in status causes him to try to impress others and act unreasonably at times in order to protect his reputation and the legitimacy of his rebellion.
