Beauty deceives. Those who look the most beautiful end up acting shallow and judgmental, but people who appear unattractive at first glance turn out to show the greatest beauty. People cannot always define comeliness as a well-proportioned face, long, silky hair, or a slender body; it can come in the form of hard work, emotional strength, humor, or intelligence. The Samurai’s Garden, written by Gail Tsukiyama, features a theme of finding underlying beauty in people and objects typically viewed as ugly.
Humanity is considered to be beautiful but is the monster shoved in the closet. Mankind has had moments of disaster and at the same time brought groups together. Even the ugliness that is created from which events always seems to bring the best of people. This can only be described as a paradox, something that is seen as beautiful and yet be ugly at the same time. World War II is a prime example of this paradox.
“The Beauty of the World” does not suggest a claim that sinners reduce the beauty in the world or even that they add something grotesque to the world. Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God urges people not to sin, perhaps to increase beauty in the
Known for his own science fiction, writer Murray Leinster, a.k.a. Will F. Jenkins, published a short story in Astounding Science Fiction’s 1945 November issue that offered up a different kind of alien altogether. Neither grotesque nor completely dissimilar to man, Leinster’s alien presents a new condition to the man-alien encounter, what makes mankind see the alien as hostile, and furthermore, truly inhuman?
Alternatively, after describing an unfortunate event of two men attempting to kill a wolf, Mowat explains how the intent to kill wolves tranforms people’s perspectives of the animals. He suggests, “Whenever and wherever men have engaged in the mindless slaughter of animals, … they have often attempted to justify their acts by attributing the most vicious or revolting qualities to those they would destroy; and the less reason there is for the slaughter, the greater the campaign of vilification” (Mowat 234). By associating wolves with barbaric traits in order to defend their killings, men are increasing the angst
In the fifth century BC, Gautama Buddha quoted that, “It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.” Two and a half thousand years later, humanity still is still faced with its own evil. Buddha was correct in his monitions for mankind because he knew that evil is always set in motion by human nature. In the novels, Lord of the Flies by William Golding, Animal Farm by George Orwell, and Night by Elie Wiesel, authors reveal humanity’s true evils through literary devices such as characterization, psychology, and setting, to connect to the darkness that is present in the real world.
The monotheistic worldview denotes man as one of God’s favorite creations, a creature given power and free reign over the Earth and its inhabitants. This understanding of man as a near heavenly sovereign over nature is a point that sits in close relation to the idea of power relegated to Alice Munro’s short story “Vandals,” in which a taxidermist, Ladner, seeks to control his environment first through its woodland creatures and then through its human residents. Yet this perception of the taxidermist’s power as all-encompassing is itself part of an imagined reality. It is the perception, the illusion of what he represents that defines him in the eyes of those he abuses. And it is this illusion, taken as fact, that leaves in its wake shattered expectations.
The Creature 's mind still of a newborn begins to observe his human neighbors as through observations and interactions the family has demonstrates the positive and negative aspects of the Creature.
Twain describes an experiment in which animals from different species are put in a cage together and they quickly learn to adapt to their surroundings and become friends. Meanwhile, a group of different religious leaders are placed in a cage together but after two days “not a specimen was left alive… [but had] carried the matter to a Higher Court (Twain).” After this experiment Twain concludes that “Man cannot claim to approach even the meanest of the Higher Animals (Twain).” Twain concludes that mankind is essentially doomed.

Earth contains many organisms (i.e. plants, animals, or microorganisms) such as spiders. Spiders are generally known by the fear they create, but even though they bring fear to many people they play a significant role to our ecological community. Spiders are nature’s pest control. Due to spiders eating pests such as roaches and other insects, they have helped farmers maintain healthy crops within their farms. Not only do spiders help farmers, but it has been showed in a study how they can play a role in fighting the spread of the disease Malaria.
A monster being more human than a human is the intriguing and bold concept that Mary Shelley successfully conveys throughout Frankenstein. As the story progresses a clear shift of protagonists is crafted creating a fascinating yet subtle paradox, that allows the reader to empathise with the monster. This subtle paradox seems to be one of the guiding plotlines that makes this story an excellent reflection of human arrogance. While it may seem difficult to empathize with a hideous murderous monster, the reader is constantly reminded that he was built to be loving and exactly like a human. However, after constantly being corrupted and morally tested by human thinking the monster is led to become aggressive.
He is aware of his otherness and knows that he is “shut out from intercourse” (84) with the people he holds so dear. It can be argued that this is the point where the creature’s humanity is the strongest throughout the course of story. He has a basic understanding of human societies, he speaks and reads their language, shows compassion and, most importantly, seeks their company and friendship. In his knowledge that social belonging is the missing component to his own happiness, he confronts the people he secretly observed only to, once again, be met with fear and anger (94-95). He comes to realise that he
Instead, beauty lies in who you are when no one is watching, the person you are when there’s nothing to hide behind. No amount of concealer can cover up a cantankerous heart, but all the make-up in the world can’t add a single lumen to the brightness of a beautiful soul.” Some women would think that the more they wear designer shoes and bags, the more people will see them attractive but what they do not realize that beauty goes beyond that
