Symbolism In 'The Tale Of The Enchanted King'?

William Saroyan uses numerous literary devices such as symbolism and characterization throughout his short story, “Gaston”. He uses them to convey that parents have an influence on their children, who look up to them. He includes several details in each instance of the literary devices, to expand on the theme he is trying to convey.

There are many Christian symbolisms in “the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe”, written by C.S. Lewis, but arguably one of the most significant motifs, is the parallel between the White Witch and Satan. The Witch uses her skill in deception to tempt Edmund into following her down a path of evil. In the book, the Witch is portrayed as beautiful, white, and pure when in reality she is a dark and destructive being with no concept of love. Satan is the same in some ways, showing himself as desirable in the form of sin. The turkish delight that the Witch gives Edmund represents sin. Edmund is ensnared by the turkish delight; he can not stop thinking about it, craving more. The Devil does the same thing to us with sin, making it an addiction.

On planet Earth there are 24 hours in a day, 60 minutes in an hour, 60 seconds in a minute; all which revolves around time. Time is infinite, but unfortunately for human beings, they face times rath. Eventually, every living being or organism faces death, you can't escape it or run away from it, death is always around the corner. In “The Masque of the Red Death” Edgar Allan Poe demonstrates this when the noble class and Prince Prospero tried to run away from the gruesome and infectious disease. Symbolism in the story is significant because it gives the reader more insight on how the author feels towards something and gives meaning to ordinary objects. For example, Poe was upset with the noble class because they neglected their problems and

[Lead in sentence/Hook] “Son of a Trickster,” by Eden Robinson, is the story about the coming of age and rough period of adolescence of a young Aboriginal boy. Through her novel, Robinson is able to convey a message that the Aboriginal people, mainly focusing on the Haisla and Heiltsuk First Nations, are dark and grating societies of Canada. In order for her readers to understand her perspective of the society, she first demonstrates the selfishness of the societies with the symbolism of raven along with its traits and attributes. Secondly, she uses supernaturalism which shows the mysterious and deceiving society of the Haisla and Heiltsuk First Nations. Lastly, the connection of Jared’s relationships with his peers reveal the negative influences, trends, and issues within the Aboriginal societies. Overall, all these factors contribute the darkness of both reality and the story.

In the first two paragraphs King uses parallelism. He begins by talking about a Negro boy sitting atop his apartment where drunks, junkies, and jobless people live. He then talks about a Negro girl sitting atop her shack where she is forced to play the mother role to half a dozen small children. The way King relates these two scenarios

Next, King then appeals to pathos by telling the truth about what his people have gone through. He does this by using lines such as, “When you have seen vicious mobs lynch your mothers and fathers at will and drown your sisters and brothers at whim.”, and “when you have seen hate-filled policeman curse, kick, and even kill your black brothers and sisters.” In these lines he is using language to incite a dark emotional feel. He then uses parallelism, such as “lynch your mothers and fathers at will and drown your sisters and brothers at whim.” By using this kind of language and sentence structure King is making you envision and feel what he had to see his friends and family go through in those hard times. Throughout the whole paragraph using this kind of sentence structure and a lot of imagery the audience starts to feel what it would be like to be in King’s position and feel the pain and troubles he had to go through. It is an emotional paragraph, and using this strategy at the beginning of his letter captures the attention of his audience. This is what King

King also uses the technique of description to help make his point to the readers. There are many uses of description throughout Kings book. For example, in paragraph three King goes into great detail how acquiescence is not the answer to the oppression. He described what it means for every man to be his brother’s keeper and states that it is unacceptable to be okay with “injustice and segregation”. He explains that by doing so the people are saying that what the oppressors are doing is morally right.

William Shakespeare starts with a seemingly unresolvable conflict in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The main characters are lovers who are either unrequited in their love or hassled by the love of another. These lovers are inevitably paired. How does Shakespeare make this happen? He creates many subplots that, before long, are all snarled up into a chaotic knot. So, what actions does Shakespeare take to resolve these new quandaries? He ends up trusting a single key entity with his comedy. It’s only then that he introduces a special character into his world: a mischievous fairy whom is known by the name of Puck. Puck is the catalyst for all these subplots and, indeed, for the entirety of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Try to take Puck

King describes the hardships black people have endured, both emotionally and physically at the hands of racial segregation. He does this by using lines such as “unsolved bombings of Negro homes and churches”, “…hate filled policemen curse, kick, brutalize and even kill your black brothers and sisters with impunity”, “…long years of oppression”, as well as “blemished and scarred [the body of Christ] through social neglect and fear”. By using words such as “kick,” “brutalize” and “kill”

There was certainly no equality in human since slave is treated so badly. Slave traders did not care what would happen to the slaves as long as they get money and make profits from it. It was common for many French colonies that make their wealth through trading slaves. It is a wake-up call from reality for Candide, an innocent, after his trip from El Dorado, a utopian society where people are happy. This event causes Candide to question himself of his belief, since El Dorado is totally different from Surinam, where Candide meets the slave. Everyone in El Dorado is equal even the King. The custom of El Dorado is “to embrace the King and kiss on both cheeks” (48), no bow are required, which is not possible in the real life. Candide’s belief, the world is perfect, starts to fade away. From what he sees, Candide weeps and starts to lost hope in Pangloss’s theory: “everything being made for an end, everything is necessarily for the best end” and

“I was looking for myself and asking everyone except myself questions which I, and only I could answer” (Ellison 527). “Battle Royal”, by Ralph Ellison, follows a story told by a man that the reader only knows as “invisible”. He believes that he is equal to everyone else until he is invited to Battle Royal to deliver a speech that was given the previous day for his graduation. At Battle Royal, he experiences multiple trials throughout the story. Everyone leaves he finally gets to tell his speech to the “important” people in the room. Symbolism is used by an author to give the story a deeper meaning.

King uses Pethos to recollect his audience his negative thoughts of negro’s and instead, dislike racism and wants an equal world. “the architecture of our republic, wrote the magnificent words…”

The short story “Battle Royal” by Ralph Ellison was retrieved from The Invisible Man. The story was written in the 19th century when the time was not in favor of people of color.

In “The Faerie Queene”, Spencer Edmund produces an allegory. His intention was to relate England in the 1590s to a mythical land in which each character had a symbolic meaning as well as the events they were undergoing. He lived in an era where Roman Catholicism was replaced with Protestantism and he dedicated himself to unconsciously teach and educate his readers the Catholic Church was corrupted and was the wrong religion to follow. For this reason, he gave each character a common role who would relate to anyone in England and showed the readers how his role in the story symbolized good or evil. The themes he expressed in his books talked about his interpretation in religion, politics, symbolism, and his dedication to make his allegory as influential as possible.
