Instruction: Obtain I Do - We Do Tuesday Purpose: to identify the definitions of allegory and symbol. Tasks: Fill in your note sheet. allegory (AL-eh-GOR-ee): a narrative that serves as an extended metaphor. Allegories are written in the form of fables, parables, poems, stories, and almost any other style or genre. The main purpose of an allegory is to tell a story that has characters, a setting, as well as other types of symbols, that have both literal and figurative meanings. The difference between an allegory and a symbol is that an allegory is a complete narrative that conveys abstract ideas to get a point across, while a symbol is a representation of an idea or concept that can have a different meaning throughout a literary work (A Handbook to Literature). One well-known example of an allegory is Dante’s The Divine Comedy. In Inferno (part of Divine Comedy), Dante is on a pilgrimage to try to understand his own life, but his character also represents every man who is in search of his purpose in the world (Merriam Webster Encyclopedia of Literature). Although Virgil literally guides Dante on his journey through the mystical inferno, he can also be seen as the reason and human wisdom that Dante has been looking for in his life. See A Handbook to Literature, Merriam Webster’s Encyclopedia of Literature. In summary, an allegory is a story that has a deeper or more general meaning in addition to its surface meaning. Allegories are composed of several symbols or metaphors. symbol (sim-bol): a symbol is a word or object that stands for another word/idea object. The object or word can be seen with the eye but the other (abstract idea) is not visible. For example a dove stands for peace.; the green door represents hope in the short story “American History.” The dove can be seen and peace cannot. The word is from the Greek word symbolom. In the Bible, the book of Genesis has a few symbols. In the story of Adam and Eve when Eve ate the apple, the apple stood for sin. Another reading in the Bible is Cain and Able. The two brothers stood for good and evil, humility and pride. Cain pulled Able to the fields and killed him. In this it is a hidden symbol. It is showing that Cain stands for the bad and Able stands for the good. See The Encyclopedia of Literature and A Handbook to Literature.

Instruction: Obtain I Do Wednesday Re-read "Young Goodman Brown"  together. As we read, add archetypes to your chart = 3 for each archetype category (or 12 total), explain & give at least 1 example What is it? How does if fit? What does it mean? Additional links, connections, ideas Situational Characters= Faith The innocent- inexperienced character exposed to the evils of the world Faith represents stability of the home. As her name suggests, she appears to be the most pure-hearted person in the story & serves as a stand-in of sorts for all religious feeling. "Poor little Faith!" thought he, for his heart smote him. "What a wretch am I to leave her on such an errand! …'t would kill her to think it. Well, she's a blessed angel on earth; and after this one night I'll cling to her skirts and follow her to heaven." (2) Goodman Brown clings to her when he questions the goodness of the people around him, assuring himself that if Faith remains godly, then his own faith is worth fighting temptation to maintain. "Well, then, to end the matter at once," said Goodman Brown, considerably nettled, "there is my wife, Faith. It would break her dear little heart; and I'd rather break my own." (3) However, there is an insinuation that Faith has been corrupted. This suspicion could show Brown’s ability to truly become estranged from the goodness of God. "My Faith is gone!" cried he, after one stupefied moment. “There is no good on earth; and sin is but a name. Come, devil; for to thee is this world given." (5) Setting Symbols & Color

Instruction: Obtain I Do – We Do Wednesday Returns Purpose: to demonstrate you understanding of archetypes in the short story “Young Goodman Brown” by Nathaniel Hawthorn. Task: Write a short constructed response that… identifies the genre, title, and author and allegorical theme (lesson) gives two examples from the short story. explains how each example fits a particular archetypal situation, character, setting, or symbol* look at the explanation/definition of the archetype and incorporate the definitions of the archetypes into your analysis The movie Shrek is an animated movie about a green ogre, by the name of Shrek, whose wood-land home becomes a refugee camp of displaced fairy-tale beings and is a prime example of a quest journey. During a quest, the hero is looking for something or someone that, when brought back, will restore order or well-being. In order to regain his swamp, Shrek travels along with an annoying donkey in order to bring Princess Fiona to a scheming lord, who wishes himself King. This task will restore his life, his wood-land home, to its previous tranquility. Another archetype found in Shrek is symbolic color. For example, Fiona is often shown wearing green and sometimes blue. The color green typically symbolizes “fertility, renewal and wealth” and blue is “nobility” and/or “tranquility.” These archetypes represent Fiona as a princess but also as a source that can restore order (renewal) to Shrek and the fairy-beings.
