    Gimpel the Fool

    • 6312 Words
    • 26 Pages

    one can reach in interpreting the story of Gimpel the Fool. The story draws its roots from the deep Yiddish background of the author‚ Isaac Bashevis Singer‚ and it deals with the traditional ―fool‖ archetype dealt with so often in the culture. The very archetype is plagued with irony‚ as the fool is typically seen as coming out on top of all of the others in the story‚ making them seem as the fool rather than the ―fool‖ himself. Gimpel the Fool follows the archetype well. In some instances‚ the idea

    Literature Question 2. “Gimpel was not a little man. He was a fool‚ but he wasn’t little.” Do you agree with Singer’s own definition of the protagonist? Singer makes two statements here‚ one that Gimpel was not a little man‚ and the other that Gimpel was a fool‚ and I tend to agree with both. Gimpel‚ in my opinion‚ was foolish‚ but at the same time‚ by the definition of “little man” as stated in the interview‚ not little. The definition of “little man” in the interview is “a poor but proud

    Role of the fool

    the role of the fool in the opening of King Lear? In the opening of King Lear‚ we don’t see or really hear about the Fool until Act 1 Scene 4‚ to me this suggest that the importance of the Fool earlier in the play is not really significant. Although this can be seen as quite ironic as I know in Shakespearean times‚ there would always be a fool of some sort‚ who is used to enlighten the mood of the King or of the higher archie by its humour and sarcastic tone. We first see the Fool after Kent is
