King Triton: The Heroic Hero
Unfortunately, the sun set on the third day. This meant that Ariel now belonged to Ursula forever. But, King Triton stepped in. “To save his daughter, King Triton gave Ursula his great powers and became her prisoner” (Musker & Clements 13). I believe that King Triton is the heroic one in this fairytale because he was willing to give up his powers as king of the sea just to save his daughter that betrayed him in the first place. If anything, that is true love and not the blinded love Ariel felt for the prince. Of course, the story focuses more on Prince Eric saving Ariel by killing the sea-witch, Ursula. In the end, the Prince Eric and Ariel share true loves kiss and live happily ever after. But, the ending still leaves me questioning how true

    The American Revolution was a time of great fear and immense turmoil. Today, however, the war is seen by many Americans as honorable revolutionists (Whigs) battling an oppressive British regime while rooting out evil Tories (Loyalists) and befriending Indians. Though not entirely accurate, the accounts often brought forward by researchers tended to exaggerate the events that had transpired. One such exaggeration would be Great Britain’s implementation of the Southern Strategy. Jim Piecuch, author of “Three Peoples, One King”, sought to rectify these inconsistences through careful research and extensive historical sources. Piecuch believed that while the strategy relied heavily on supporters of the crown, the roles of Loyalist and Indians were…

    Additional proof of Arthur being an archetypal hero are the tests, allies and enemies he encountered within the story. He faced many tests on his journey but one stood out. This test was the one where Arthur was getting the hour hand from Mister Monday. To actually get to Mister Monday he had to first cross a web that would only be out for a few minutes then go through a pit of snakes that would spit poison and finally through a pit of “dark yellow mud that bubbled and popped like burning porridge”(311). This all lead up to Arthur getting the hour hand from Mr. Monday.…

    King Tutankhamun lived over 3,300 years ago during a period known as the New Kingdom. This period of time was called the New Kingdom because it was when the pharaohs united upper and lower Egypt into one kingdom with the capital being Memphis near current day Cairo. The reason I chose to write a research paper on King Tut is because he is one of the most well known pharaohs of ancient Egypt. Tutankhamun is most well known only by the discovery of his intact tomb in 1922 by Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon.…

    Cuchulainn, a heroic warrior, is referred to as both the Hercules and Achilles of Ireland. Fedelm, the prophetess, describes him as “full of fame.” Like Hercules, Cuchulainn had superhuman strength. He had a “warrior’s fist, the arm of a prodigy.” He was also able to outdo all Ulster warriors with his “brilliance and nimbleness in feats.” His great strength and valor reflect the characteristics of Hercules. Because of his bravery and invincibility, Cuchulainn also resembles the great Greek hero Achilles. Like Achilles, Cuchulainn is known as an undefeatable warrior, with the potential to easily slaughter his opponents in war. Because of these heroic attributes, Cuchulainn can be easily compared to the valiant ancient warriors, Achilles and…

Arthur defended Britain during this time period, but his mythological legacy helped shape a part of modern day literature, and storytelling with myths, and legends written about his life.…
