Supernatural: A Literary Analysis

A recurring type of story is one where someone sell their soul to the devil

A supernatural event is an event which, according to the laws of nature, cannot happen. In the two works that I have studied “Like water for chocolate” by Laura esquivel and “The house of the spirits” by Isabel allende, magic realism has been used as a common literary device to give the book a fantasy-like twist, making it very interesting and engaging.

Supernatural. Anyone’s first impression upon hearing the name of this tv show would be that it is one for teenagers, full of nonsensical, fictitious storylines. At least my parents have always thought of the show that way, but that is because they have never taken the time to see even one episode of this utterly creative and emotional horror tv series that brings it viewers back season after season. Now, the series is on its 13th season and it is going strong as ever. Why? Because of its themes, because of all the underlying messages it sends to its devoted fans amidst the entertainment of all the surprising plot twists and the show’s stance on various issues existing in today’s world.

Typically supernatural horrors are set in the home of the protagonist usually their homes as it is closest thing to them. All of the Paranormal activity films are based in the home of the individuals being haunted by the supernatural forces. The invasion of the supernatural forces on the character's home makes the situation even more terrifying as the forces are unwanted and it also makes it harder to escape as it is their home, they cannot exactly uproot their family and move to a different house, especially if it is a new house which is usually the case with Paranormal activity films

The supernatural is characterized as occasions or things that cannot be clarified by nature or science and that are accepted to originate from past or to begin from supernatural strengths.

A. Background:
------------------------------------------------------------
In every part of the world in, every age and from our earliest childhood, we are bombarded by stories of witchcraft and the supernatural. These stories are imbedded not only within our culture, but within our religion as well. Surreal stories are rumored across the country of, black magic, possessions, and haunting etc. Many other cultures too inhibit similar attributes related to the supernatural.

Supernatural starts off with two brothers, Sam Winchester (played by Jared Padalecki) and Dean Winchester (played by Jensen Ackles). The two brothers travel in a black 1967 Chevrolet Impala to hunt demons, supernatural creatures, and other paranormal entities. Many of them based are on based on folklore, myths, and other urban legends. They are taught to hunt and kill these creatures by their father, John Winchester (played by Jeffery Dean Morgan) who is considered a “hunter”. They all seek revenge on the demon, Azael to avenge the murder of their mother.

The part of the supernatural in "The Iliad" composed by Homer has component's which goes past authenticity utilizing the intercessions of divine beings. Also, which of the divine beings would it say it was that set them on to squabble (128)? The part of the extraordinary in the Sakuntala composed by Kalidasa has otherworldly components in condemnations to flights to the sky. See! in his vaporous limits he appears to fly, And leaves no follow upon the' flexible turf (378). This exposition will indicate how the part of the otherworldly can influence human lives through the force of divine beings. Besides, it will tell how the utilization of heavenly is distinctive in each of these works.

When you think of the word “Paranormal” you think of events happening that can’t be explained. It’s not all about ghosts or UFO’s (Unidentified Flying Objects); it’s about people having an ability to do unthinkable and unexplainable talents. For years now people have made television shows, movies, and even souvenirs about the supernatural, the question is “why?”

Supernatural is the up and down coaster that has been rolling for 13 seasons now, and few would have guessed it would last this long. Supernatural is the story of the Winchester brothers, Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles), and their adventures of killing evil, abnormal creatures across America. So, the answer to our question is, there are many reasons for the successfulness of this TV series, but let’s start with the basics.

The novels The Stranger and The House of the Spirits have distinctly different plots. The authors of the books have different styles and techniques used to create their vision of a great story. In The Stranger by Albert Camus and The House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende, the characters, Meursault and Esteban Garcia are established as socially distant from their associates. They have neither emotion nor remorse for anything they have done. These characters are only connected to each other through this one flaw aside the difference of individual character. The authors have built their characters in such a way, in order to incorporate an outcast in their novels.

Many people believe in demonic possessions because this subject is mentioned in several verses of the bible such as Luck 4:33 which say “In the synagogue there was a man possessed by a demon, an impure spirit. He cried out at the top of his voice, “Go away! What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!” This, along with other subjects such as efficacy of prayer, Ouija board, and talking to the dead has been debated for a long time. Believers have a supernatural explanation for these themes based on their religious beliefs. While non-believers, not satisfied with religious explanations, seek for a natural one based on tangible evidence.

Horror stories focus on creating a feeling of fear and shock using many sources. There are many sources of horror besides monsters and there are more factors involved in making stories part of the horror genre, including supernatural elements, hubris, and setting. Stories including the “Tell Tale Heart” by Edgar Allan Poe, “The Outsider” by H.P. Lovecraft, and “The Monkey’s Paw” by W.W. Jacobs include these elements.

The beginning of the nineteenth century was also the start of a legendary movement in literature, known as Romanticism. Authors during this period created their own worlds by using their imaginations. Individuals no longer saw themselves a measure of everything around them, but rather as one more component of the great source of life and creativity: nature. The Romantics placed emphasis on emotions such as apprehension, terror, and awe as an authentic source of aesthetic experience, as well as the feelings that accompany confronting the sublimity and beauty of nature, especially. Supernatural elements are not present in all Romantic literature; however, the supernatural approach was an important and arguably crucial strategy for Romanticism to achieve its purposes.
