Essay about Loki-The Ever Changing God

The question is asked what does it mean to claim that God is triune and how does this bear upon human life? Merriam-Webster (2018) defines triune as three in one, or relating to the Trinity, the triune God consisting of three parts, members or aspects (Webster 2018). To claim that God is triune would mean that there is a knowledge as well as a belief in the Trinity of God and that God is the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. God is triune has a bearing on Human Life because God is Holy and He is the creator of the world and as humans he has a major effect on the come of each of our lives. But for the believer His ways becomes our ways, therefore it affects how we act, live, think, love, and how we treat others. As well as our character and the way in which we live our lives is affected for the better once we have come into the knowledge and acceptance of God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

When comparing both Loki and Joker they do not seem to have the same motives in why they revel in our creation of chaos, however they both express the same desire to cause such chaos. “The Norse trickster god, Loki is undoubtedly the most debated figure from Norse mythology to this day. Though he appears to be a scheming, mischievous deity who has no real loyalties, scholars still explore what his purpose might have been in the ancient stories” (The Enigmatic Loki, Riley Winters 2014). Loki, the trickster god, had always used his antics to fool with the other gods, but over the years many of the Norse gods became angry with Loki for all the mischief he would keep inflicting upon them and as such the gods began to hate Loki. As time went on Loki began to grow increasingly evil with his constant berating of his fellow deities. He became angry with all the gods due to their mutual hate of him. Finally, after eons of constant hatred Loki arranged a scheme to murder the one of most loved and notable persons in Norse mythology Balder, son of

Loki is known as the trickster god of Norse mythology and is even said to be one of the first anti-heroes. He is also probably one of the most well-known tricksters as well. In the Norse myths, he is often portrayed as being very mischievous and is always causing trouble for the gods. In fact, “he was so outrageously mischievous that he even sneaked his way into becoming a god” (Allen, and Saunders, par. 1). However, even though he almost always seems to be getting the gods into some kind of trouble, he also helps them at times in an attempt to get them out of their predicaments…even if those predicaments are his own fault to begin with.

According to the Norse Mythology for Smart People in the article, “THOR,” Thor is the thunder god, who protects Asgard from the giants, “Thor, the brawny thunder god, is the archetype of a loyal and honorable warrior, the ideal toward which the average human warrior aspired. He’s the indefatigable defender of […] Asgard from the encroachments of the giants […].” Thor is described as having similar characteristic of Finn: Loyal and honorable. Thor is also strong and courageous: “His courage and sense of duty are unshakeable, and his physical strength is virtually unmatched,” (THOR).

Loki has used his gift for both good and evil. The lesson learned is that there will always be good to out way the bad. In today’s society the lesson learned is that sometime the bad out ways the good and vice versa. The meaning starts to change in this culture. It starts to mean good or bad there will always be deception.

In the film, The Avengers, directed and written by Joss Whendon incorporates various heroic archetypes and their journey throughout many of the characters. In one way, Loki can be considered a magician mainly due to the fact that he has magical powers and how he uses it to manipulate other characters in the film. For example, while making his way to the city, Loki manages to manipulate the citizens through fear and asks, “Is this not simpler? Is this not your natural state? It’s the unspoken truth of humanity, that you crave subjugation. The bright lure of freedom diminishes your life’s joy in a mad scramble for power, for identity. You were made to be ruled. In the end, you will always kneel.” (Whendon, 2012). Not only that, but Whendon has

Due to being the God of mischief he is not shown in the spotlight and lives in his brothers shadow. We see his transformation throughout the movie as he wishes to begin the one true heir and take Thor place as future king which in order to secure his position he shows he is willing to kill his brother. Thor however found this hard to see as he does not seem that intimidating this only adds to him fitting the trickster archetype as does not seem to be the type to do that. This can fit easily modernly as many people can feel as if they are in the shadow of somebody especially if they are siblings. This can lead them to develop cold feelings towards them which they may not show or admit to until

Ymir was such a cruel god, Odin and the other gods could not tolerate it any longer and plotted against and killed him. Then Odin and his brothers made all things from the parts of Ymir’s body. Odin had positive interaction with his brothers and they all agreed he was the most powerful. His aunts, Ymir’s sisters were very upset over the death of their brother and constantly caused trouble for everyone.

loki is from the Norse Mythology. His was the son queen Farbauti and king Laufey. His a god, father of hel, the wolf fenrir and the world serpent. He helps the god but sometimes he acted malicious towards them.

The similarities between Prometheus and Loki are almost a sly innuendo for a common origin in there founding. For example, the way the two are punished by the wrath of the gods. However for Prometheus it is Zeus who decides to punish Prometheus by having his liver pecked out every single day for thousands of years until rescued by Heracles and for Loki his punishment is unanimous all the gods were in Layman’s term “fed up with his shit.” And there punishment was for him to be bound by using his son’s “Nari” or “Narfi” entrailsto bind him to a rock inside a cave with a snake dripping poison on his face, though in the text there is no mention of Prometheus wife helping him. Lok’s wife was helping her husband by catching the poison with the

     An important point on the subject of Odin remains that unlike the Christian God, Norse gods such as Odin are fallible. They show bias towards specific mortals and often act out of their best interest. Often times, advice given by such gods has selfish intent and only serves as the means to which the god creates his ultimate end.

However, the three most important were: Odin who was the God of warriors, wisdom, and even poetry, Thor who was the God of thunder, farmers, and seafarers, and Frey, who was the God of fertility, marriage, and things that grew. They believed that their Gods walked among them every day in the human form. I think that their religion is really fascinating because each of their Gods has a backstory and I find listening to their stories to be really magical. I have heard many stories about the way their Gods were, but living in that time to hear their stories and experience it in person would be

I think Loki ate the witch’s heart because that just who he is. He was a mischief-maker. He did not fit in with the gods; he was not very nice and liked to be on the evil side of things. Loki decided that eating the witch’s hear would be a perfect way to become completely evil on the inside. The flames could not consume the heart; however Loki just simply picks up the heart. No one could stop Loki because he was on a mission to be defiant. Loki heard the whispers from Gulveig the witch. Loki’s mind had been transformed to hate the gods.

John Milton’s Paradise Lost is an epic poem that describes the fall of Satan and the expulsion of Adam and Eve from Paradise. Satan is the protagonist of Paradise Lost and has several characteristics in which readers may identify with him. Throughout the poem, Satan is not only a tragic hero but also the key character that drives the plot and portrays many flawed human qualities. As an angel fallen from the high esteem of God and a possessor of hubris that leads to his downfall, he represents a tragic hero but also a character in which readers may identify with.

Loki is the embodiment of, “Of course it was Loki. It 's always Loki.” Loki is unquestionably the biggest question mark within Norse mythology. He is portrayed as a scheming, mischievous deity who has no real loyalties, his role is shrouded in mystery; what was his purpose in the ancient stories. Loki’s character arises questions about his role; was he a plot device, a foil for the Aesir, or maybe he was meant to be used as a warning to child? Within the pantheon of Norse gods, he was an anomaly; his fellow gods are mostly one dimensional and Loki is anything but. Loki is the antithesis to the culture the Norse gods represented; honor, courage, fidelity, truth, discipline, hospitality, industriousness, self reliance, perseverance. Loki is
