Lewis, the White Witch tries to take over Narnia, but the Pevensie children come to the rescue. Then, there is a battle and the kids save Narnia. Lucy is an unlikely hero. First of all, Lucy saved Narnia, and she was brave in the midst of everything going on. To start, Lucy saved Narnia. After the battle ends, many people have been turned to stone.

In the story, when Lucy is collecting her gifts from Father Christmas. He gives her a potion that could heal people, and a dagger to defend herself. He was giving all of the children gifts to help them in the battle against the White Witch. When she got her gifts, Lucy said, "Why, Sir," said Lucy. "I think—I don't know—but I think I could be brave enough" (Lewis 119). Even though Lucy is questioning her bravery in this line, she doesn’t know yet that she has such big potential. Later in the book though, she is going to beat the witch and save so many people. To add on, at the end of the story when all of the kids were grown up, each of the children have their own part that describes them in a special way. The author writes, “But as for Lucy, she was always gay and golden haired, and all Princes in those parts desired her to be their Queen, and her own people called her Queen Lucy the Valiant” (Lewis 201). This just shows that Lucy grew up to be beautiful, and happy. They call her Queen Lucy the Valiant because she is brave and courageous, and everyone wanted to marry her. That shows how Lucy is so brave, that other people notice

This was important to the novel because it takes her back to when she was “normal” and not struck with sickness or a disfigured face. Although it is taken for granted by many, the time when Lucy had hair is significant because it was a time when she was worry free and without pain. It was a time of true acceptance of her own self, as well as her peers of herself. Lucy’s hair was long, which meant it took a long time to grow. When Lucy’s hair started falling out, it felt like she had something that was a major part of who she was taken from her in shame.

She has fallen victim to Dracula and becomes undead herself. She is one of two female characters, who is pursued by the vampire. Bram Stoker may have given the impression that Lucy was of that a ‘free’ and gossipy female. I do believe that from reading a few passages from Dracula that apply directly to Lucy, this portrayal could be false, and this is in reference to her once she has become undead. Lucy could be a victim, an innocent woman sabotaged by Dracula.

Peter was given a sword and shield because he is a man, while Susan was given a bow and arrow that “does not easily miss” (152) and a horn to call for help. This implies that a woman cannot possibly be able to fight or defend herself without the help from an enchantment or from others (probably males). Lucy, too, is given a small dagger and cordial of healing juice because Lewis implies that she, as a girl, should be a caretaker, not a fighter. And although Lucy insists she could be brave enough to fight in the war, Father Christmas, in all his male supremacy, dismisses her, saying, “… battles are ugly when women fight” (153). As children, it is important to understand that they are not defined by what society interprets as masculine or feminine.

From the start of Macbeth, the title character and plays protagonist has a shocking capacity for violence, which presents him as a “dead butcher”. This is shown when the captain describes Macbeth’s sword as being “smoked with bloody execution”, Shakespeare’s use of satanic imagery from the word “smoked” implies that Macbeths sword was being used to vanquish his foe so much that it metaphorically smokes. This also shows how bloodthirsty Macbeth is because he must have slain many men to make his sword smoke. The captain also states that Macbeth “unseamed [his enemy] from the nave to th’ chops”. Shakespeare’s use of the words “nave” and “chops” create the image that Macbeths victim as not being human, the word “chops” presents the victim as being a piece of meat, showing that Macbeth is a butcher.
