I am doing a paper on Hans Christian Andersen’s "The Little Mermaid, I need help picking a thesis?

This thesis has to make use of mythical and archetypal patterns or Freudian or traditional symbolism.

Self sacrifice or sacrifice for loved ones ultimately pays off in the end despite painful or dangerous obstacles.

Reasoning:
-She gives up her family, friends, home, voice to be with the prince
-She is given the chance to go home by killing her loved one but chooses to sacrifice herself, she is ultimately rewarded with an immortal soul

What is the archetypal model from which women emerge from in your spiritual tradition?

Definition of ARCHETYPE
1: the original pattern or model of which all things of the same type are representations or copies : prototype; also : a perfect example
To each their own but when I see a woman a rib doesn’t come to mind.

We do not have just one. We have many. Frigga, wife to AllFather Odin, is goddess of beauty, love and marriage. Freya is goddess of sexuality, beauty, love and destiny. She is also fierce and in rare parity with Odin, gets half of the Einherjer (fallen heroes) and is leader of the Valkyrie. Idunna is described as "the fair and the simple" and is the goddess of youth. Skadi is goddess of skiing, mountains and winter. She is known for her strength, endurance and courage. Hel is a gentle guardian goddess of the dead and also associated with birth and rebirth. Her name is frequently translated into both "hole" and "whole" in our kennings. None of our goddesses are "single facet" goddesses though. There is overlap between them all, they all share many of the same qualities and they are all admired and held up as examples in those areas in which they excel though they are also held up and admired for all of their qualities. They are examples of complexity and completeness. Just like we mortal womenfolk, in other words. We learn from not only the lore and our own spiritual traditions, but also the other women around us in our daily lives. We do not emerge so much as we continually learn, grow and evolve. Ideally, that process should never stop.

I am doing a paper on Hans Christian Andersen’s "The Little Mermaid, I need help picking a thesis?

Compare and contrast it with the themes from Goethe’s Faust. Faust gives up the power over his immortal soul out of love, whereas the Little Mermaid tries to gain an immortal soul, although giving up her longevity, out of love. This can be taken very far.

What is a contemporary novel similar to the classic novel The Three Musketeers?

I need to find a contemporary novel which contains thematic characteristics similar to the classic novel The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas. The contemporary novel has to be written some time in the past twenty years. Also, The Three Musketeers and the contemporary novel both need to have at least one of the following literary elements so I can compare them.

a) The universal (archetypal) character traits of the central characters
b) The use of symbols and/or images as an expression of universal human experience
c) The use of narrative style as an expression of universal human experience
d) The use of structural patterns as an expression of universal human experience

Thank you!

Try Rosenberg’s ‘Not Exactly the Three Muskateers.’

I don’t understand my English assignment, can you help?

I have to write an informal essay for a character interpretation.
I was given three concepts of the how I can interpret the character.
1. Archetypal hero(pattern?)-
2. Innocent observer
3. Everyman
I chose archetypal hero concept because I assume that means the essay can be written just like a hero’s journey. Am I right? A hero’s journey can be classified as an essay? :s. im confused.
hopefully this question makes sense…

that’s right.. write something about the hero’s adventure. describe something about his character and explain what makes him an archetypal hero..

I need an idea for a short story?

I need to write a story for english. At least 500 words long. It’s need a setting, plot which is resolved, conflict, protagonist with revealed character traits.

also, it needs to include archetypal patterns and characters, but that’s not so important. I just need an idea for a story.
those answers do not help

just write a story about an epic hero named " " who has to overcome 3 obstacles to get somewhere or get something. like Beowulf or the odyssey. use alot of descriptive words

Does this mean I am to make up my version of a hero that would live today?

Discuss a modern personality whose life more or less fits the pattern of the rise and fall of the hero, Where does your hero fit in the archetypal structure?

It sounds like they’re asking you to choose a real person in today’s world whose life had a rise and fall similar to the archtypical hero. Think of Richard Nixon, O.J. Simpson, Roger Clemens, Eliot Spitzer, or anybody else who achieved high position and then fell.
