Speech About The Archangel Ariel

Albert Einstein once said, “Look deep into nature, and you will understand everything better”. The Call of the Wild, a novel by Jack London, shows exactly this. People must live in harmony with nature, or it will destroy them.

The first trait that supports similarities between humans and animals is shame. Both Man and animals can feel shame in something they have done, and might even regret. As Twain wrote, “Man is the Animal that Blushes. He is the only one that does it- or has occasion to.” However, animals can also feel shame in something they have done. For example, if a dog bites another human, sometimes they show a sense of shame by their reaction. They may try to show their shame by going to lie down somewhere in the room, or show affection to their owners. This is the same motive of a human. For example, if two people get into a fight, sometimes one of the people call to check on the other person and apologize for something they said. The show regret in their actions, like animals may do, which creates a similar connection between them.

     In the world of The Tempest , Ariel, the airy spirit, and Caliban, the earthy monster, can be described as character foils. Unlike and contrasted as they are, they have some traits in common. They both have an aversion to labor and a longing for liberty. Also, they have a primitive sense of humor, a fondness for tricks and pranks, and a spontaneous and unsophisticated love of nature. Furthermore, deeper inside them, one has a fear of a higher power and the other a craving for affection and approbation. Thus, the contrast between them is heightened.

Nature is the playground for every human. It is essential that we include nature in our lives; it keeps us on our correct path. However, if we dismiss ourselves from nature, we begin to stray from our correct path. We become engulfed in the distractions from the modern world . The only approach to appropriate this quandary is to break our pervicacious ways and return to peaceful serenity known as nature.

But why would Ariel serve Prospero? It turns out that Prospero had rescued Ariel from imprisonment in a tree by a witch, who used to be the ruler of the island. When Ariel asks for his freedom, in this scene, Prospero gets furious and uses similes, metaphors and detailed descriptions to emphasize the horror of Ariels situation before he came to the island. “What torment I did find thee in. Thy groans of ever angry bears. It was a torment. Did make wolves howl and penetrate the breasts”. This reminds Ariel that he is in thrall to Prospero who keeps the spirit doing his bidding by threatening to return him to the suffering from which he came. “If thou more murmur’st, I will rend an oak and peg thee in his knotty entrails till thou hast howled away twelve winters.” This also highlights his own power as he sets Ariel free and threatens to put

Over the course of history, humans have classified various animals from companions, playmates we will love until the end of the world; to nourishment, meat we look forward to for our next meal. Be that as it may, how ever did we reconcile theses ways of loving some animals while eating or hating others? In Hal Herzog excerpt, “Animals Like Us”, using anecdotal stories Herzog tackles the reasoning behind our contradicting relationships and behaviors regarding this 'trouble middle' for different animals. In order to resolve the murkiness of the trouble middle we must reshape our ethics on why we treat certain animals differently by eliminating our misconceptions of each animal and understanding that every animal should be treated equally.

Prospero’s interactions with Ariel depict the extremes of letting moral obligation prevail. Prospero calls upon Ariel to become a harpy and proclaim the sins of the king and his followers. Prospero’s desire for righteousness by causing pain and suffering for Alonso, Antonio and Sebastian shows a disregard for life as a result of moral justice. Prospero believes that he deserves vengeance for their immoral deeds. This sentiment is based on moral justice. Prospero uses Ariel so that his proclamation of their sins seems more realistic. Ariel becomes an illusionary instrument

Alonso, Antonio, Sebastian and Gonzalo has looked for Ferdinand, Alonso’s son and becomes tired as they stopped to rest. After a couple of minutes, an extravagant feast appeared in front of them. They became suspicious at first and prepared to eat the feast of food. Before they started to eat, Ariel showed up as a harpy as he made the feast vanished and charged Antonio, Sebastian, and Alonso of being the instruments of sin. Shakespeare wrote what Ariel says as he flew down from the sky as a harpy:

(1.2.308-309). Ariel knows that Prospero's gift of magic makes him more powerful than the spirit himself and could result in Ariel being sent back to the torture he was freed from. Hence, in a similar way to Caliban, Ariel's fear and his want for freedom is what leads Ariel to willingly subjugate

Ariel carries magic, allowing himself to disappear, and creates deceitful plans to cause harm towards others. In act 2, he casts a spell on Alonso’s party, except for Antonio

Very early on it is clear that Ariel is very dependent and cannot really do anything without some kind of assistance. She is never alone throughout the entire film she is companied by her friends, Sebastian, Scuttle and Flounder. The first appearance of Megara in the river it is very apparent straight away that she feels she needs no one to help her. Megara is very self-sufficient and strong. As expected Ariel being dependent is also selfish

Prospero is a man with high social standing and power, which he uses to manipulate situations into his favor. He is the Duke of Milan and has a spirit Ariel in his power. Ariel is forced to remain with him until the tasks he requires are complete. This accounts for Ariel’s present servitude to Prospero, confirmed in the spirit’s first utterance, “All hail, great master!” (1.2.189). Ariel begins to come to the end of his expected time trapped as a servant. He begins to become very excited at the thought of his future freedom, dreaming about his days away from his enslavement. This feeling is seen when he says: “Where the bee sucks, there suck I/In a cowslip's bell I lie./There I couch when owls do cry./On the bat's back I do fly/After summer merrily./Merrily, merrily shall I live now/Under the blossom that hangs on the bow.” (5.1.99,104).

The relationship between Prospero and Ariel has been attempted to be linked to different types of magical relationships. Prospero and Ariel are different from the witches and spirits - the witches in Macbeth are servants to the spirits, but Prospero is not which in turn rules out a witch-spirit relationship. This is also true in Henry VI: Part 2 in which the summoner is a servant of the spirit and the magic takes place in more eerie situations — conditions that do not apply to Ariel and Prospero. The duo’s relationship is uncommon in the world of the Hermetic magi and their daemons, however supporters of this possible connection argue that Ariel could possibly serve as a messenger/ guardian to Prospero and could explain Ariel’s obedience to

John Milton and Alexander Pope both write of supporting characters that are sent to protect the main character in their stories. Both Ariel and Raphael have many similar qualities that make them a character that is used to bring warning to the protagonist and to foreshadow to readers what the outcome of the story will be. Ariel is a sylph, or a magical being that was a coquette in his life before. Although this is distinctly different than Raphael’s identity as one of God’s angels, they share several qualities. Both are described as being very friendly and gentle. Ariel warns Belinda through a dream in attempt to protect her from the stealing of a lock of her hair. Raphael is sent to Eden to become friends with Adam and to warn him of the sin that is lying in wait for them. Both of these guardians are seeking protection for the human and desire for them to be kept from evil. They also try to relate to the humans. Ariel understands Belinda’s vanity and pride in her appearance because he once was a coquette as well. He even assists in her thorough morning routine. Raphael is also able to relate to Adam through the discussion of love. Adam asks him about angel’s love lives and Raphael is able to understand Adam’s struggle to not idolize his love for Eve. Angels seem to have many qualities that are similar to Adam and Eve’s, which makes it very easy for Raphael to

We should become aware of and reflect on nature. We should also practice restraint to protect nature. The need for balance within our lives and nature is crucial for the world to remain sane. Practicing restraint is important to the survival of the earth. Sanders explains the need to for rest within your life in order to maintain balance.
