  • Themes In Once And Future King

    1751 Words  | 4 Pages

    T. H. White's The Once and Future King is one of the most complete and unique portrayals of the immortal legend of King Arthur. Though it has been in print for less than half a century, it has already been declared a classic by many, and is often referred to as the "bible" of Arthurian legend. White recreates the epic saga of King Arthur, from his childhood education and experiences until his very death, in a truly insightful and new way. This is not, however, the first complete novel of Arthur's life. In the fifteenth century, Sir Thomas Malory wrote Morte d'Arthur, the first complete tale of Arthur's life. Since then, a countless number of books have been written on the subject, yet none can compare to The Once and Future King. It has easily become the most popular of all the Arthurian novels as it is loved by both children and adults. Though similar in many ways to other works of the same subject, such as Malory's, White gives new details, meanings, and insightful modernization to the story, giving it an earthy quality, which the reader can identify with. White's rendering of the Arthurian legend differs from the traditional versions in that he includes contemporary knowledge and concepts, adds new stories and characters to the legend, and provides new perspectives by probing deeper into the existing tales.

    In The Ocean at the End of the Lane and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, start off telling the story in the past. As Faulkner once said, “The past is never dead.

    La La Land, a romantic yet dram-filled musical, starring Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling is a phenomenal film for many reasons. Not only is this movie spectacular for the main plot; the journey through a young couple, Mia and Sebastian falling in love despite their differences and aspirations in life, but the use of elements and symbols are what makes this film stand out above a standard movie. The visual effects give off the obvious themes and meanings throughout the movie, but the music, colors, and imagery shown throughout the visual effects are what portrays the deeper themes. In order to discover these hidden themes, there must be a deeper level of concentration when watching the movie. These elements and symbols that result in giving the

  • One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest Themes

    1277 Words  | 3 Pages

    The book set in Oregon, a staunch liberal state, during some time during the 1950s and 60s, leaves the book written during a time where social change and political unrest plagued the country. One Flew over the Cuckoo’s nest shows many themes through the Novel as readers go through. One of the Themes, Limitations of Authority vs. an Omniscient Power which can translate to plainly, Democracy vs. Dictatorship is found throughout the book as characters rebell against a dictatorship of sort. This theme is criticized by many readers as it shows through pure fiction, a new light on the world. Ken Kesey uses Over the Cuckoo’s Nest to show readers elaborate details and shocking allusions to show a symbolic representation of how dictatorship fails and democracy rises. Through characters such as McMurphy and Bromden, the main characters in the novel and debatably either could be the protagonist, Ken Kesey shows that the victims of ward can rise up against a secular power, which is perceived as “the combine” but is also personified as Nurse Ratched,regardless of how helpless they may look.
