The Unsung Hero Character: A Harbinger Device of Misfortune A thesis presented to the faculty of the Department of Curriculum and Instruction East Tennessee State University In partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree Master of Arts in Reading with a concentration in Storytelling by Eutimio Talavera, Jr. May 2019 Amber Kinser, PhD, Chair Delanna Reed, PhD Ed Dwyer, PhD Keywords: indigenous, storytelling, narratee, abreactor, prefiguration, cinelogue, mentation ABSTRACT The Unsung Hero Character: A Harbinger Device of Misfortune by Eutimio Talavera, Jr. This thesis introduces an obscure storytelling device, The Unsung Hero character, as one way of examining how movies function as stories. This character is often overlooked, as it frequently cloaks its idiosyncrasies, thus it lacks any apparent signs of internal conflict. This analysis foregrounds the character’s overall functionality, found only in rare instances and typically in the story of a movie. With effective implementation in a story, as a functional harbinger device, brief appearances of The Unsung Hero character demonstrate flashpoints or disclosures of a forthcoming misfortune in the story. This movie analysis shows how The Unsung Hero character functions effectively as a harbinger device in stories. 2 DEDICATION To all whom I care for, especially those who have passed on. 3 TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ABSTRACT......................................................................................................................................2 DEDICATION..................................................................................................................................3 Chapter 1.

  • Character of Zhalmauyz in the Folklore of Turkic Peoples
    IJASOS- International E-Journal of Advances in Social Sciences, Vol.II, Issue 5, August 2016 CHARACTER OF ZHALMAUYZ IN THE FOLKLORE OF TURKIC PEOPLES Pakizat Auyesbayeva1, Akbota Akhmetbekova2, Zhumashay Rakysh3* 1PhD in of philological sciences, M. O. Auezov Institute of Literature and Art, Kazakhstan, [email protected] 2PhD in of philological sciences, Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, Kazakhstan, [email protected] 3PhD in of philological sciences, M. O. Auezov Institute of Literature and Art, Kazakhstan, [email protected] *Corresponding author Abstract Among the Turkic peoples Zhalmauyz Kempіr character, compared to other demonological characters, is widely used in genres. The transformation of this character from seven-headed villain - Zhalmauyz kempіr to mystan kempіr was seen. This very transformation is associated with the transition of society from matriarchy to patriarchy. Zhalmauyz is a syncretic person. She acts in the character of an evil old woman. This character is the main image of the evil inclination in the Kazakh mythology. She robs babies and eats them, floating on the water surface in the form of lungs, cleeks everybody who approached to the river and strangle until she will agree to give up her baby. In some tales she captures the young girls and sucks their blood through a finger deceiving or intimidating them. Two mythical characters in this fairy-tale image - mystan Kempіr and ugly villain - Zhalmauyz are closely intertwined. In the Turkic peoples Zhalmauyz generally acts as fairy-tale character. But as a specific demonological force Zhalmauyz refers to the character of hikaya genre. Because even though people do not believe in the seven-headed image of this character, but they believes that she eats people, harmful, she can pass from the human realm into the demons’ world and she is a connoisseur of all the features of both worlds.

  • Knowing God 'Other-Wise': the Wise Old Woman
    Knowing God “Other-wise”: The Wise Old Woman Archetype in George MacDonald’s The Princess and the Goblin, The Princess and Curdie and “The Golden Key” Katharine Bubel “Old fables are not all a lie/That tell of wondrous birth, Of Titan children, father Sky,/And mighty mother Earth . To thee thy mother Earth is sweet,/Her face to thee is fair, But thou, a goddess incomplete,/Must climb the starry stair. Be then thy sacred womanhood/A sign upon thee set, A second baptism—understood--/For what thou must be yet.” —George MacDonald, To My Sister A consistent occurrence within the narrative archetypal pattern of The Journey is the appearance of the Wise Old Woman, a seer, encourager and advisor to those who have responded to the Call to Adventure. Such a figure is featured prominently in several of George MacDonald’s writings, though the focus of this paper is on his children’s fairy tales, The Princess and the Goblin, The Princess and Curdie, and“The Golden Key.” Since the Journey is a psychological one toward spiritual wholeness, for MacDonald, I borrow from Jungian theory to denote the Wise Old Woman as a form of anima, or female imago, who helps to develop the personality of the protagonist. But to leave things there would not encompass the sacramental particularity and universal intent of MacDonald’s fantasy: for the quest is ultimately a sacred journey that every person can make towards God. As Richard Reis writes, “If in one sense [MacDonald’s] muse was mythic- archetypal-symbolic, it was, in another way, deliberately didactic and thus ‘allegorical’ in purpose if not in achievement” (124).

  • Distressing Damsels: Sir Gawain and the Green Knight As a Loathly Lady Tale
    Distressing Damsels: Sir Gawain and the Green Knight as a Loathly Lady Tale By Lauren Chochinov A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba In partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Department of English University of Manitoba Winnipeg, Manitoba Copyright © 2010 by Lauren Chochinov i Abstract At the end of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, when Bertilak de Hautdesert reveals Morgan le Fay’s involvement in Gawain’s quest, the Pearl Poet introduces a difficult problem for scholars and students of the text. Morgan appears out of nowhere, and it is difficult to understand the poet’s intentions for including her so late in his narrative. The premise for this thesis is that the loathly lady motif helps explain Morgan’s appearance and Gawain’s symbolic importance in the poem. Through a study of the loathly lady motif, I argue it is possible that the Pearl Poet was using certain aspects of the motif to inform his story. Chapter one of this thesis will focus on the origins of the loathly lady motif and the literary origins of Morgan le Fay. In order to understand the connotations of the loathly lady stories, it is important to study both the Irish tales and the later English versions of the motif. My study of Morgan will trace her beginnings as a pagan healer goddess to her later variations in French and Middle English literature. The second chapter will discuss the influential women in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and their specific importance to the text.

  • Dreams and the Coming of Age
    Dreams and The Coming of Age Harry R. Moody AARP, Academic Affairs Journal of Transpersonal Psychology, (43:2), July, 2011. It has been said that “In our dreams we are always young.” But this is true only as long as we fail to look beneath the surface of our dreams. Our dream life can offer us compelling clues about what "conscious aging" might promise for the second half of life. Psychology for the most part has focused chiefly on the first half of life , while gerontology has largely focused on decline instead of positive images of age (Biggs, 1999). Among dream researchers later life has not been a focus of attention, although the small empirical literature on this subject does offer hints for what to look for (Kramer, 2006). Here we consider dreams about aging, offering suggestions for how our dream life can give directions for a more positive vision of the second half of life. Elder Ego and Elder Ideal Our wider culture offers contrasting versions of the self in later life, what I will call here the "Elder Ego." On the one hand, we have images of vulnerable, decrepit elders—the “ill-derly,” images all too prevalent in media dominated by youth culture. On the other hand, we have an image of so-called Successful Aging, which often seems to be nothing more than an extension of youth or midlife: the “well-derly.” These opposing images-- the 'ill-derly" and the "well-derly" populate our dream life as they do our waking world. Yet these are not the only images of the Elder Ego.
