Other than being the main characters, John Marcher from The Beast in the Jungle and the Narrator from The Figure in the Carpet have something in common. Both John and the Narrator spent a lot of time thinking, wondering, and trying to find out some sort of secret- but the answers, there or not, are negative in both stories. The Narrator’s curiosity of the secret behind Mr. Vereker’s wonderful writing was slowly destroying his life, because he wasn’t getting any answers, and whether he knew or not, never would. John Marcher almost lets his fear of the ‘Beast’ in his future run his life because (In the end, the Narrator suffers from a loss of time and no answer to his painfully curious question, and John suffers from the waste of his life, and
This shows that Maria loves Matt, who is an animal/livestock to the public and isn't allowed by society, but she loves him so much she is willing to go to hell just for Matt. This may not be considered as bad a betrayal as others, but it is still a betrayal to her father and
This made the boys think that he was the beast. The dead man being in the dark, made the boys scared because they couldn’t see him. This is an example of the dark representing fear.
His utilization of allegories traverse over entire passages, for example, the one about the bow of God's fury being drawn and held over the hearts of miscreants. This illustration demonstrates that God could release his fury at any minute yet his generosity spares them. Afterward, Edwards looks at heathens to insects and serpents, animals loathed by people similarly as delinquents are scorned by God. This demonstrates his unconverted assembly how inadequately God considers them. Jonathan Edwards utilizes these sayings to make his message less demanding to comprehend, which influences it to hit substantially nearer to home among the hearts of his audience
Edwards uses this picture to point out God is exasperated about the sinners and if they did not repent, God’s bow will shoot at them. Edwards uses the picture to address the sinners are religious and he hopes that they will realize their sins. Moreover, Edwards also uses similes to make his point about God’s power which is more impressive than
Since Prometheus and Gaea chose their own names, they started to create a new sense of individualism for the future generations to come. Here, it is proven that Prometheus will not have the rule of being assigned ordinary names, because he changed his name and Liberty’s to represent their
Recalling the key images of: wickedness heavy as lead, earth ready to spew out the sinner, the black clouds of God wrath, the dammed waters of God’s wrath, the bent bow of God’s wrath, and the sinner-as-spider held by God over the fire (p.107). All six of these separate metaphors have coherence and become explicated tied to the congregation with the following and applied physical principle. Overall the passage of fire and brimstone alludes to God’s wrath and to persuade those into repentance. The achievement of this passage, commands to visualize the world and lake of sulfur, leading into images of suffering. In his blunt manner, this concept of hell and suffering recalls of Edwards’ style of writing, illustrating Lockean use of language.
This aspect of the sketch proves Jonathan’s point of nothing standing in between hell and the sufferer. After this sermon, and maybe even before it, the church must have felt like hell, and portrayed mistrust instead of purity to the audience. untrustworthy and like hell to some of the audience members. In addition, some charged language used in the sermon made its way into the drawing itself. A few of the many words on the sufferer’s body such as “misery” and “wrath” were said to invoke fear and guilt, and he was the source of those emotions.
This story is told much the same way, the unicorn represents Christ and the hunters represent the Romans. It is the story of the Romans turning on Jesus and crucifying him only for him to rise again. The crucifixion is seen in the sixth tapestry when the hunters kill the unicorn, and the resurrection is seen in the seventh tapestry when the unicorn lives again. The virgin is then seen as a representation of Mary, and the relationship she had with

Crumb illustrates beautifully what effect these have on the human’s they are directed at. As the text describes the Lord seeing that humans are wicked, Crumb has God peering onto a scene of carnal brutality with the look of a shocked grandmother. His shock quickly turns to rage and like a young child angry that other kids aren’t playing by his rules, he decides to take his toys and go home. In this instance though, his toys are all of humanity except for his favorite, Noah, and Noah’s family. The look Crumb has drawn on Noah’s face as God lays out his plan to him is one of pure shock.
By describing the man as being filled with demonic rage, the author alludes to the protagonist in the story as turning away from God just as Lucifer, the first demon, has done. Concluding, the man did not accept that it was his doing by killing his wife and cat. This shows that he has not grown as a person and continues to blame others for his problems, in this instance, blaming the cat for the discovering of his dead wife’s body. The man wishes for God to “deliver [him] from the fangs of the Arch-Fiend” (Poe 65), the fiend being the devil. This shows the man’s
With these ideas and images, he means to perturb his audience, stirring them up emotionally and causing them to be afraid and discontent, desperate for a way out and a way to redeem themselves in the sight of their angry God. Much of this technique is shown throughout the sermon, clearly designed to evoke terror in the
“The Beasts” The beast in the novel Grendel does not stray to far away from the monster in the book Frankenstein. These two creatures are both misunderstood which makes them do what they do, while they are just trying to fit in. The two monsters both handle rejecting and defeat very differently.
In Maria Dahvana Headley’s short story, Moveable Beast, in Neil Gaiman’s book, Unnatural Creatures, Headley tells the story of Bastardville’s Beast through the perspective of Angela. In the beginning of the story, Headley portrays Angela by having a sarcastic tone, being terse with others and barely caring about anything in Bastardville, including herself. Angela later has a coming of age story and realizes what the beast of her town represents and what she has to do to protect and maintain it. The details of the story paint an image inside the audience’s mind that leaves open interpretation to what or who the actual beast is. This effect is achieved by Headley’s complex style and uses irony, epiphany, and imagery to display her wild imaginative and open interpretation to the audience.
