Essay: Analyzing the excerpt The Power Restoring Authority
Inquiry 1: (Page 80 of Literature 11, Volume 2)
The contrasting artistry between two characters, Giang Van-giang and Gia-ve, unfolds a tale of opposing personalities, actions, and speech. The author employs flexible metaphorical comparisons to elucidate this dynamic:
- Giang Van-giang: A person with lofty ideals and spirit
+ His demeanor and speech are calm and measured, occasionally revealing patience and forbearance in interactions with Gia-ve
+ In the eyes of the vulnerable apprentice Phang-tin, he emerges as a hero, the one who rescued her life from the demonic clutches of Gia-ve
- Gia-ve: A malevolent figure, embodying the image of a frenzied beast
+ His voice is sinister and insane, akin to the growl of a beast
+ 'Eyes like iron hooks'
+ 'A grotesque smile revealing both sets of teeth'
+ Violent and uncouth actions
=> The antagonist character is portrayed with ugliness, crudeness, and a twisted personality, with Gia-ve being likened to a beast in human form.
Inquiry 2: (Page 80 of Literature 11, Volume 2)
In portraying Gia-ve, the author intricately weaves details to draw a vivid analogy. Gia-ve, resembling a ferocious beast, hungry and waiting to pounce on the delectable prey, Giang Van-giang. Through various details:
+ 'A terrifying countenance'
+ His manner of speech is 'sinister and insane'
+ 'Eyes like iron hooks'
+ 'A grotesque smile revealing both sets of teeth'
+ Rarely engaging in normal conversation, he mainly 'roars,' with a rapid and aggressive demeanor, using crude language like addressing Giang Van-giang as 'you' and referring to Phang-tin as a 'whore,' displaying uncouth actions such as 'grabbing the collar' of Giang Van-giang.
=> Gia-ve resembles a frenzied beast employing every means to coerce the prey into its demise.
In Giang Van-giang, we find no system of comparative imagery for analogy as in Gia-ve. In him, we conjure the image of a deity, a hero, someone with compassion, magnanimity, rich in love, always living a righteous life, using strength to protect the weak like his own children. The image of him seizing the bedpost is a depiction of rising against coercion, making one as domineering as Gia-ve begin to feel fear in his presence.
