Enchantress

Many people know the classic Disney tale Beauty and the Beast, but not many know where the story originated from. The Disney film is one of many adaptations of a French fairy tale, La Belle et le Bête, originally written by Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve in the seventeen hundreds. While there are many different versions of the tale, the most popular of them all is Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont’s version. It is the tale of how a beautiful girl falls in love with a hideous beast, only to

Introduction President Lincoln is credited for overseeing the reunification of the United States of America and abolishment of slavery. Time has blurred the public impression of Lincoln and after his assassination he became a martyr. In 1861 President Abraham Lincoln was facing a broken up nation. He would violate various civil liberties, constitutional rights in his attempt to squash the rebellion. These acts will be presented in this paper to show why he could be considered a tyrant.

gods, and even victims. He portrays them as malignant and strong-headed. All of them are all equal in their own way. In The Odyssey, Homer justifies portraying women as manipulative by showing them as strong-headed. Circe, a goddess enchantress, seduces Odysseus’ men to drink her potion. Other travelers say she’s a witch. She turns Odysseus’ men into pigs and keeps them hostage for a whole year. He finally begs her to let them leave and she allows them to continue their voyage.

In the fashion world, no one storms the catwalk like Derek Zoolander. However, Ben Stiller had to prove that the most famous male supermodel still has what it takes to be the best by challenging Suicide Squad actress Cara Delevingne to an epic walk-off with the Eiffel Tower in the background! Delevingne, who is a supermodel in her own right, shared the hilarious video on Instagram. The walk-off and accompanying photo shoot were done to promote Stiller's upcoming comedy sequel Zoolander No. 2, so

form rigid conclusions about female characters in the tales. Women are depicted as cunning and evil. For instance, in “The fisherman and the Jinee,” the destruction of the king of Black Isles is brought about by his wife. She is depicted as an enchantress who uses her magic powers to ruin her husband’s city, transforming him into half stone and also has adulterous affairs with an Indian. The character is also depicted as the unnatural woman; a magician who defames the true essence of womanhood. One

I strongly agree that Odysseus was an intelligent and clever man because he tricked Polyphemus, Circe, and Calypso. In the epic Odysseus found a way to trick Polyphemus so that he could elude in a cunning way. The epic says “Bilinded, and sick with pain from his head wound, the master stroked each ram, then let it pass, but my men riding on the pectoral fleece the giant’s blind hand never found.” (Cyclops. 437) In this episode the brilliance of Odysseus portrayed by outhinking Polyphemus rather than

with those flaws and it makes the hero more relatable to the readers. Odysseus is one of the many examples of a character who repeatedly shows heroism. One way Odysseus shows that he is a true hero is when he “rushes to save his men from the enchantress” (387) on the island of Aeaea. This shows how he put his crew’s needs over his own and show that he has a tremendous amount of bravery to charge into save his crew from a very powerful witch.

Odysseus’ first encounter, Circe when him and his men land on her island, she turns the men into pigs, and persuades Odysseus to stay with her. In the story Odysseus says, “Circe tossed them acorns, mast, and cornel berries-- fodder for hogs…” (The Enchantress Circe. 575-576) As Odysseus’ men turn to hogs by Circe’s magic, he must go after them if he wants to go back

There are a lot of reasons why Odysseus is a bad and good leader. Odysseus is a human and humans make mistakes, but don't you think Odysseus as a leader would think long and hard about decisions to make most of them good? The reasons Odysseus is a bad leader is because in the cyclops’ cave his men wanted to leave after they got the food and supplies, but Odysseus said, after one of his men suggested the idea, “Ah, how sound that was! Yet I refused, I wished to see the cave man, what he had to offer-

This is the beginning of Ambrosio projecting his feelings onto the female form; although he attempts to label Matilda as an “enchantress”, Lewis use it as common noun suggesting that it is neither her profession nor name, merely a quality of hers and not a defining characteristic. Although Ambrosio is ‘the Monk’, Matilda is not ‘the Enchantress’. Regardless, through this declaration Ambrosio is not enchanted, he unwittingly invites the devils worker to incite his “destruction” which
