City of Bones Essay
The newfangled City Of cram by Cassandra Cl ar follows the main character 15 year-old clary Fray in her journey to find her missing mother. Clare takes the typical pouffe Tail and turns it upside down. The main compositions that stick out to me in this photographic film is Love, covetousy and prejudice. An Copernican idea for me in the novel City Of B iodins is the idea of fill in. In the book Clary falls the handsome Shadowhunter ( half(prenominal) angel, half human) Jace Wayland. In the middle of all the chaos and fight they find m to fall for each(prenominal) other and form a brawny bond. I found it interesting how Clare wrote about love.She perceived it to be very powerful and absolute. Which i dont disagree with, but for teenagers its very different. When she wrote of their love with such power it confused me, it as well made the writing more captivating as the story unraveled and left me wanting to know what happened next. This idea made me think of societies view on spring chicken love, how community thinks young relationships dont last and arent serious. It also challenged my view on the subject and made me think that its possible to find the one you love when you are young.The most terrible things men do, they do in the design of love. I think this quote shows the power that love has in this novel. I found the idea of love important because it is a muster out motivator throughout the novel. An aspect I found intriguing in this novel was the requiring theme of jealously. As Clary and Jace are falling for each other Clarys childhood best friend, Simon, gets extremely jealous. I was trying to make you jealous Simon screamed at one point when he couldnt hold it in any longer. Youre so stupid, Clary. Youre so stupid, cant you see anything? Clary is oblivious to Simons feeling towards her.This theme made me reconsider famous love stories that also had themes of jealously, for subject Elizabeth Bennett and Mr Darcy in Pride and Prejudice, Darcy was jealous of Mr Wickham. Also in Jane Eyre where Jane was Jealous of Rochesters wife. It made me think of the writing and how jealously contributes to the love in the story. I found this requiring theme intriguing because it showed the unrequited love betwixt Clary and Simon which I found really contributed to the novel and gave it that extra plot of ground twist. A nonher aspect in the novel that I found important was the idea of prejudice.In the novel prejudice is shown against Downworlders (half demon, half human for example vampires, werewolves, warlocks etc), women and gay mint. The Shadowhunters see Downworlders as scum because they are half demon, which are their natural enemy, but not all of them are bad. Prejudice is seen against women because it was besides recently that women were aloud to fight against demons and even now they are seen not to be as bang-up as the men.Being gay in the shadow world is also frowned because Shadowhunters are very proud of famil y and the family name so being gay wont carry on the bloodline. So theyre good plenteous to let live, good enough to make your food for you, good enough to flirt withbut not really good enough? I mean, not as good as tidy sum? This quote is referring to Downworlders and how they are only good for somethings. I think this idea cogitate to our society today and also split in history because women use to not be aloud to voter turnout and were seen as housewives just equal in City of Bones. Also in the novel Downworlders are kind of treated like coloured battalion were in the early 18-century, expect not to the extend that the coloured people were treated.The idea of prejudice against gay people links to our society because our society is prejudice against gays. I found this idea important because it helped me see the links between the novel and real-life situations. The novel City of Bones by Cassandra Clare challenged my sentiment about love, jealously and prejudice and help ed me understand more about them and how they like to other novels and our society. I would definitely recommend this novel to other people so they can enjoy it as much as i did.
