    "The Devil and Tom Walker" written by Washington Irving is an example of romanticism in American literature. This book was written between the late 1600’s and early 1700’s. Romanticism was an artistic movement within literature in the 19th century that promoted individuality with emotion, love and nature. Romanticism within literature stretched the hearts and feelings of characters and challenged them to change their pasts. Characters, such as Tom, his wife, and even the devil, were aware of pasts that they desired to change. Nature also plays a large role in this story. The tree that holds the treasure, the sacred forest and the mysterious swamp, each feature human characteristics. Authors who write romantic stories do not always write about romantic love, but more so a state of mind.…

    What if the world everyone perceives as a reality is only an elaborate deception? Human beings believe they are living in realities because they do not know of anything else. What they feel, see, hear, taste, and feel all contribute to their subconscious belief of physical existence. As people dream, however, they usually cannot recognize that they are not living through the events—that is, until they wake up. What if they do not wake up? How would they know the difference between their false perceptions and reality? The Ancient Greek philosopher Plato explores this concept within an example he uses in his work The Republic. In his example, known as the “Allegory of the Cave”, Plato uses an allegorical cave to show how humans are uncomfortable when exposed to the truth and that they are manipulated by higher authorities. In their 1999 motion picture The Matrix, the Wachowski brothers use a computer program to display similar ideals of Plato's allegory, including how humans are controlled and negatively react to the truth. Plato's “Allegory of the Cave” serves as a philosophical basis to The Matrix, as both works suggest that humans express discomfort while exposed to truth and both argue that people are controlled by higher authorities.…

    He tells the reader that there are many characteristics that are shared between this story and the typical hero’s journey. That being the “Call to Adventure” where she drops the ball, the “Herald” arriving, which is the frog, and finally “The World Navel” which represents the subconscious. “Refusal of the Call” is what typically happens if the hero hears the call but does not answer it. The hero ends up imprisoned either physically or psychologically. He backs that up with the story of a nymph who ends up turned into a flower (physically imprisoned) and King Minos who feared everything around him (psychologically imprisoned). Campbell says that this just delays the hero until they are ready to answer the call. “Supernatural Aid” is the figure who appears once the hero answers the call. Campbell adds three points of analysis in a different aspect then he usually does: the first is that he included the fairy tales, not to devalue them but to show how influential they are, the second is in the story of the Arab prince where he writes in great length the details for the long myth, the third is shown in how the Hero’s Journey is in different cultures. “The Crossing of the First Threshold" is the first time the hero goes into a new land physically and mentally but it is blocked by a Guardian which the hero must overcome. “The Belly of the Whale" is where the hero is symbolically or physically swallowed and…

    Everyone, at least once in their lifetime, has been an advocate for the bad guy; whether it would be Heith Ledger, playing the Joker, verses Batman or the innocent Satan verses the tyrant God. John Milton does a fantastic job in letting his audience observe Satan in a new manner that one has not analyzed before. Milton portrays Satan as the most likable character in Paradise Lost, yet he is thought of being the foulest individual in the social realm. Satan stands above the rest of the characters in the poem, a once archangel casted out of heaven, trying to find his way in the universe. Although he is depicted as the most sentimental character of the poem, Satan is still the profound angel that society recognizes him as today. Milton’s exclusive…

    The argument over who is the true protagonist of Paradise Lost, has been brewing for centuries. One would gather that Milton, a Puritan, would have no problem casting God as the hero, and Satan as the antagonist. But looking back in history, Milton saw that most epic heroes had conflicts that prevented them from accomplishing their goals. God and his Son have no conflict, and Adam's story doesn't really begin until the Fall of Man. Therefore, Milton was forced to select Satan as the hero of Paradise Lost because he adheres to the guidelines of epic poetry set by Homer, Vergil and others. There many examples of how Milton uses and edits the tradition of these previous epics in the formation of the Devil as a hero.…
