Nova Dahlén Severus Snape and the Concept of the Outsider
Estetisk-filosofiska fakulteten Nova Dahlén Severus Snape and the Concept of the Outsider Aspects of Good and Evil in the Harry Potter Series Engelska D-uppsats Termin: VT 2009 Handledare: Åke Bergvall Examinator: Mark Troy Karlstads universitet 651 88 Karlstad Tfn 054-700 10 00 Fax 054-700 14 60 [email protected] www.kau.se Table of contents Introduction 1 Severus Snape 2 Snape and Dumbledore 6 Snape and Voldemort 10 Snape and Harry 14 Conclusion 20 Works cited 22 Introduction J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series contains a large number of outsider characters, ranging from fun sidekicks and magical creatures to evil antagonists. The concept of outsiders has been argued to be one of the main themes in childhood fairy tales in general and in the Harry Potter novels in particular: as most children feel like outsiders sometime during their upbringing, they can identify with this concept (Heilman and Gregory 242; O’har 862; Ostry 89-90). The outsiders of the Harry Potter series may be defined as characters who, although they may have friends or relationships, are significant in how their primary function relies on their distance to others. Severus Snape is one of the most evident outsider characters in the novels, described as an unpleasant, ugly man portrayed with constant ambiguity: Seemingly working for both Lord Voldemort (the evil side) and the Order of the Phoenix (the good side), he is presented as a double agent with uncertain allegiances. However, when the truth is revealed in the very last pages of the series he is discovered to have been an undercover spy for the good side all along.

Se Hinton Was a Published Author
|| teachers@random || S.E. Hinton about this author By the time she was 17 years old, Susan Eloise Hinton was a published author. While still in high school in her hometown--Tulsa, Oklahoma--Hinton put in words what she saw and felt growing up and called it The Outsiders, a now classic story of two sets of high school rivals, the Greasers and the Socs (for society kids). Because her hero was a Greaser and outsider, and her tale was one of gritty realism, Hinton launched a revolution in young adult literature. Since her narrator was a boy, Hinton's publishers suggested that she publish under the name of S. E. Hinton; they feared their readers wouldn't respect a "macho" story written by a woman. Hinton says today, "I don't mind having two identities; in fact, I like keeping the writer part separate in some ways. And since my alter ego is clearly a 15-year-old boy, having an authorial self that doesn't suggest a gender is just fine with me." Today, more than twenty-five years after its first publication, The Outsiders ranks as a classic, still widely read and one of the most important and taboo-breaking books in the field. Finally, someone was writing about the real concerns and emotions of a teenager. The Outsiders marked the beginning of a new kind of realism in books written for the young adult market, and Hinton's next four books followed suit. http://randomhouse.com/teachers/authors/sehi.html (1 of 5) [1/31/2001 1:32:36 AM] || teachers@random || She wrote her second book while she was in college at the University of Tulsa, studying to be a teacher.

E. (Susan Eloise Hinton) (born 1950), U. S. Author, born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1950. As a young writer, Hinton decided to write under her initials in order to deflect attention from her gender. She set out to write about the difficult social system that teenagers create among themselves. Her books struck a chord with readers who saw in her characters many elements of this system that existed in their own schools and towns. In 1967, while she was still in high school, Hinton published her first book, The Outsiders. The story of confrontation between rival groups of teenagers was immediately successful with critics and young readers, and it won several awards. There was some controversy about the level of violence in the novel and in her other works, but Hinton was praised for her realistic and explosive dialogue.

The Outsiders Analysis
Search all of eNotes Search rows Navigate Study Guide Historical Context The Rise of Youth Culture In the United States, the period from 1945 to 1963 was termed the "Baby Boom" because of the sharp increase in the number of children born during those years. By 1958, onethird of the country's population was fifteen years old or younger. The years after World War II had also seen an increase in wealth throughout the United States. By the time they became teenagers in the late 1950s and early 1960s, therefore, many of these "Baby Boomers" had plenty of spare cash to spend. Companies competed to attract the dollars of these new consumers. The film, music, television, and fashion industries created products especially for the increasingly influential teen market. Rock 'n' roll became the most popular music on the radio, and movies also reflected this new focus on adolescents. Actors James Dean and Marlon Brando became idols for portraying teenage antiheroes in Rebel without a Cause (1955) and The Wild One (1954). Paul Newman, whose looks Ponyboy admires as "tough," followed in the footsteps of these actors by playing similarly cool characters in the films The Hustler (1961), Hud (1963), and Cool Hand Luke (1967). Teenagers' increased spending power also gave them a new measure of independence from their parents. Rebellion against adult authority became a notable theme in many teen films. Loud rock 'n' roll music became another way for teens to defy their parents' values. Some adolescents' rebellion turned violent, and teenage gangs sprouted in urban areas.

S.E. Hinton: Biography
S.E. Hinton: Biography S.E. Hinton, was and still is, one of the most popular and best known writers of young adult fiction. Her books have been taught in some schools, and banned from others. Her novels changed the way people look at young adult literature. Susan Eloise Hinton was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She has always enjoyed reading but wasn't satisfied with the literature that was being written for young adults, which influenced her to write novels like The Outsiders. That book, her first novel, was published in 1967 by Viking. Once published, The Outsiders gave her a lot of publicity and fame, and also a lot of pressure. S.E. Hinton was becoming known as "The Voice of the Youth" among other titles. This kind of pressure and publicity resulted in a three year long writer's block. Her boyfriend (and now, her husband),who had gotten sick of her being depressed all the time, eventually broke this block. He made her write two pages a day if she wanted to go anywhere. This eventually led to That Was Then, This Is Now. That Was Then, This Is Now is known to be a much more well thought out book than The Outsiders. Because she read a lot of great literature and wanted to better herself, she made sure that she wrote each sentence exactly right. She continued to write her two pages a day until she finally felt it was finished in the summer of 1970, she got married a few months later. That Was Then, This is Now was published in 1971.
