Aesop is an important figure because he taught many lessons that are still being taught today. For example in “The wolf in sheep’s clothing¨ it was about a wolf who one day dressed up as a sheep while hunting for sheep got eaten by a shepherd.This story relates to Aesop´s lesson because it showed the wolf acted with impatience then died,which was his bad outcome.In “The wolf in sheep’s clothing¨ it states, ¨ONCE UPON A TIME a Wolf resolved to disguise his appearance in order to secure food more easily¨,Which means from the start he was acting without impatience.It also …show more content…

The majority of Horror film and books are suffused with female monsters, with many of these female monsters developing from ancient myths. Yet literary criticism has tended to focus more on the woman as the victim of the monster, rather than the woman-as-monster. The majority of monsters in classical mythology are female and the Homeric myth of Demeter and Persephone is a primary archetype for the classical myths that have informed the horror genre’s construction of the feminine. The myth recounts the abduction and rape of the maiden Goddess Persephone by Hades the King of the underworlds. As David Greven states that the grief of Demeter, Persephone’s mother presents a crucial precedent for the recurrent theme of the return to origins in horror and provides a basis for the representation of the maternal figure in modern horror.

The Visual and the Written in Persepolis An autobiography usually has a purpose as to why it was written, either to try and fight or change something, like in Fredrick Douglass ' Narrative of an American Slave, to tell a life story, or show historical and political history through the personal life story and experiences.
