    The book The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis, takes place in Narnia. Narnia is a land of talking animals.

    In “I, Tituba, Black Witch of Salem” by Maryse Conde, Maryse uses Tituba to challenge Colonialists assumptions. Tituba still follows her beliefs and hasn’t converted to the Puritan ways of Christianity, she uses proper english, and is not seen as a savage. In “The Crucible” by Arthur Miller Tituba didn’t speak proper english. She was treated as a blame. If anything wrong occurred, such as the witch trials, Tituba was put the blame on just for the fact that she was a slave from Barbados. Also, in “The Crucible,” Tituba doesn’t speak proper english, so she is seen as unintelligent, but in “I, Tituba, Black Witch of Salem” she speaks proper english, making those assumptions of being unintelligent, unrelatable. “‘Do people in league with the devil…

    It was once said that “evil enters like a needle and spreads like an oak tree” (“Ethiopian”). In C. S. Lewis’ The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, evil enters the fictitious world of Narnia and quickly diffuses throughout the land. This evil permeates every aspect of its society and has its inhabitants living in fear of the source: Jadis, “Queen” of Narnia, better known as the White Witch. She is this evil that has infiltrated Narnia through her villainous origins, dastard objectives, destructive instruments, and corrupt characteristics…

    C.S. Lewis’s “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe” can be seen as a spiritual allegory. The entire book has either subtle or somewhat blatant references to Christianity, and other religions. With references to Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection, Adam and Eve; it is pretty clear that Lewis intended his novel to parallel with Christian themes. But also having some elements of Paganism, Lewis portrays elements of the natural world and respecting it, much like how in the Pagan religion is about worshiping nature. Lewis also integrates the themes of betrayal, and compassion and courage into the plot and the characters of the novel. Though each character may not have a direct reference to Christian themes or other religious doctrines, the…

Lewis was eventually converted to Christianity by some of his friends; shortly thereafter he began writing The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Christianity played a big role, as the story is an obvious allegory for the Bible. Christianity is well-rooted throughout the novel in the hero, who represents Jesus, and the stone table, which represents the cross.…

    C.S Lewis, the author of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe wrote this is novel in 1949. The novel is basically about religion faith and Christianity. And testing your faith kind of. An allegory is like a story that is compared to the one you're looking at. Something about it and that tells a story behind that you may not see or realize. The allegory in this novel is that Aslan is like Jesus Christ and in the story it was kind of like a test in the children's faith. Seeing how they would believe and think. My claim is that there can be good and evil in the world and you are the one who has to see your religion and which is the good and evil in your life. You choose wisely and what you think is the good and find your Christianity.…

    This was the first time I saw The Witch and the Cow, however, it is the second time I saw Teat Beat of Sex. My reaction to The Witch and the Cow was that it didn’t feel like a story. My expectations for animations are stories which I have broaden my views after Signe explained that she only saw the same type of films in Hollywood. This is like how I’m only exposed to a certain type of animation. Even though there were repetition of actions like the cow poop and chasing cows, I was waiting for a more relevant action for the story. It was very funny and creative because its a tiny witch in a pile of cow’s poop. There were many unexpected reactions like when the witch killed the cow and I was expecting blood, but instead there were millions of…

    In the Renaissance-era romantic comedy, "Twelfth Night", William Shakespeare presents to us an entertaining play riddled with humorous plots and, in some instances, comical and witty exchanges between the characters in the play. In a novel peppered with subtle notions of deceit and illusion, it is fascinating how some of the most revealing truths about the characters actually lie beneath the innocent banters. Under the influence of illusion and deception, the figures in the play are often lost in their own reverie, failing to realise the bare naked truths behind the events that have played out. An insightful judge of characters, Feste is both impudent and witty at the same time, neither mincing his words nor masking his emotions. It is perhaps due to his pragmatic nature that he is able to be so perceptive and astute in his judgment of the characters. His remark of Orsino's mind as one which is very opal only serves to prove the above-mentioned claim. Over the following paragraphs, I will endeavor to uncover the truth behind Feste's statement.…
