HARRY POTTER'S SCAR
- The scar symbolizes death, bravery, and courage.
- Courage shown from Harry himself and his friends and family
- Death from the ones Voldemort killed and the ones lost in battle against evil.
- Bravery shown in the fight against Voldemort.
The scar that is on Harry Potter's forehead symbolizes many things within his life; it symbolizes death, bravery, and courage. Because Harry is one of Voldemort's horcruxes, this scar serves as a link from Harry to Voldemort. Even though there is this link, the two are complete opposites. Voldemort is a very powerful, but evil wizard; Harry is also a powerful wizard, but he is brave and strong, and fights for the good. Harry is brave when fighting against evil. He does what everyone is afraid to do, and that is to go against evil.his resilience inspires others to do the same, unfortuneately it leads to a lot of death. When Harry first got the scar, his parent's showed courage in sacrificing themselves against Voldemort, ultimately leading to their demise. The way that the scar symbolizes death through out the novel is with the deaths of the good, the innocent, and the evil, and that death is going to occur when good is battling evil.

A SCENE FROM FRANKENSTEIN
- The scene: when the creature is standing over his dead creator.
- The contemporary audience would view this scene as the creature takes full blame and guilt.
- Today's audience views it as the creature is fully humanized with the death of his creator.
- The author plays into the assumptions of the contemporary audience by the statements of:
- “In his murder my crimes are consummated; the miserable series of my being is wound to its close!” (Shelley 426)
