Who Is Ged In The Wizard Of Earthsea
In The Wizard of Earthsea, by Ursula K. Le. Guin, the main character, Ged, is a young wizard who makes a pernicious mistake that takes a great deal of maturity to undo the evil. Ogion, becomes Ged’s master and sends him to the field to learn about the power that each flower’s name holds. Ged becomes impatient with Ogion, so he transfers to the school of Roke. Additionally, Ged learns magic vigorously, but overlooks their powers because he is overly-driven to defeat his enemy: Jasper. Without the understanding of imbalance, Ged summons the dead. After this immature decision, Ged realizes that his impatience has kept him from becoming a successful wizard, so he develops a new level of maturity and finishes his studies.

impress her to make her feel insuperior. Additionally, Ged becomes frustrated with his Master, Ogion, because he wants him to ward off the rain (not realizing it will cause a drought somewhere else). Thirdly, his studies at Roke blinded the importance of imbalance, therefore, he becomes short-tempered and loses his focus. In his final advancement with maturity, Ged defeats his shadow by jumping past the foolishness that once caused a halt in his growth as a man.
To begin, when Ged met the young girl in the field, he wanted to show her magic that would blow her socks off.
Instead of showing her a simple spell and degrading his pride, he rushes past his studies, and looks into Ogion’s book full of reputable spells far too advanced for Ged. There, he discovers the spell to bring back a spirit from the dead. In an attempt to read the spell, a dark shadow arises in the corner of the dimly lit room. Unfortunately, Ged……... This is the first clue that shows that Ged’s curious and anxious spirit is stopping him from learning about the flowers in the field like Ogion asked Ged to do. Therefore, his impatience inhibited him to properly learn the spell when the time was right and when he was mature enough to understand the spell’s extreme power. His impatience gets himself into a lot of trouble, yet he still doesn’t understand that the whole thing was a trap. Ged’s impatience blinded him from the fact that the girl wanted to see him perform a spell, so she could show it to her mother who was a witch herself. As you can see, Ged’s impatience leads him into a bigger situation that he can’t
