"The Tempest" And "Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone": Magic
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The element of magic within the literary boundaries of Shakespeare's The Tempest and J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is used to illustrate the manner by which social dictates can either condemn or support one's individualism. Clearly, Prospero was cast out as a nonmember of his community after he honed in upon his special magical abilities, forcing him to employ those very same talents as a means by which to enact revenge against his wrongdoers. As such, the image of magic does not carry with it a positive connotation whatsoever. Harry Potter's adventures, on the other hand, presents magic in an enlightening and intriguing fashion that encourages the reader to enlist imaginative thought in order to further ignite the wondrous magical ingredients that Rowling's tale brings forth.
