Northern Lights by Philip Pullman Essay

Analysis of northern lights how the author presents the characters within the novel for example facial expression at wight symbolism.Lord Asriels the Tempter is the Snow leopard. It is elegant as it moves with grace and speed, it trancems royal as she slinks with confidence an power in either stride. Lord Ariel is a serious man he was heartless and uncouth to his own daughter. on one occasion in the book he grabs her force amply by the arm. He is an arrogant character, who is fe ard and respected. His dickens growled with deep uncivilised rumble that made Lyra suddenly aware of what it would be wish to gift teeth meeting in her throat. Having this animal as lord Asriels hellion reinforces the more negative and suspicious feelings towards him. That he is as powerful as he is dangerous.He is, in many ways just desire his devil cold hearted, vicious, strong in body and mind. all his movements were medium-large and perfectly balanced, corresponding those of a haywire anima l and when he appeared in a room like this he seemed a wild animal held in a cage to small for it. He as easy as his daemon had elegance, and the author even compared lord Asriel himself to a wild animal. His daemon, was enticing with lush fur so beautiful, yet she is the predator, the hunter, fierce and untamed, like her master, the leopard seems silent but deadly, sweet but if provoked you are go forth vulnerable to her attack. You need beware when lord Asriel is on the prowl.Martin Lanselius has a snake in the grass daemon, the characteristic of witch people tend not to trust as theyre sly, sneaky, slimy and deceitful. Martin Lanselius is one of the people on the whichs council so far he seems fair, just an kind. The little green serpent daemon raised its head from the consuls collar and whispered lingua flickeringly in his ear.By using the words whispered knife flickeringly, It makes you imagine the slimy tongue harsh in your ear, it makes you feel uneasy, by whispered it see ms sneaky and suspicious like he has something to hide. Typically a snake or serpent is bad, they trick and deceive.*1 This gives us a very negative reliance of Martin Lanseluis, and without his daemon it wouldnt be there. We are influenced by the serpent daemon, especially because it contradicts so drastically the mean assembly snake, with the sweet and caring Martin Larnselius.Ma Costas daemon is a pack animal, a savage like hang back. They are playful, full of spirit, trustworthy and very protective, especially those in their fellow pack. Its easy to see the cute lovable exterior, but the wolf in them makes him stronger, with force and aspiration the wolf attacks its prey, with razor sharply teeth he cuts through the skin and sinks them deep into the flesh. They can be very dangerous, very vicious. Ma Costa is both loyal and confident sweet and gentle to her family and friends imparticular. barely can be bad-tempered. When on one occasion Lyra tried to distinguish Ma Cos ta boat, she struck Lyra her across the face but previously she watched over Lyra as a baby. a great grey cover bent down gently to lick Pentaliments wild cat-head.This shows how kind he is even to strangers he is welcoming. This is one of the few things we hear about the daemon so far. I commend the influence by the dog is both positive and negative, positive because you think first of the innocent looking dog which will protect its family. But also negative when you think how dangerous a wolf can be. Like the snow leopard the wolf is a hunters. But you dont get told a hoi polloi about the daemon therefore the influence to Ma Costa is minimal.Farder Coram had Sophonax, his daemon cat. She moved with grace and confidence, her soft fur warm and inviting. Her presence was console and mysterious. Farder Coram was quite old, however his mind unchanged by time, still sharp and alert. But his withered old body looks frail and tired. Forder Coram is just like his daemon as he is confi dent wise, but with an air of enigma like hes not giving anything away. Even though you dont know him he seems friendly like hes known you for years Sophonaxwas golden eyed, and elegant beyond measure, fully twice as large as a real cat, and fully furred.This emphasizes the appeal and makes the cat seem heavenly, like its magnificent and extraordinary. I think the daemon gives us an even more positive opinion of Farder Coram. He could not walk without leaning on two sticks and he trembled constantly like an aspen leaf. His mind was sharp and clear he was a powerful man. This shows how weak he looked, but how strong mind he was. By having this unique cat makes me think that when Farder Coram was younger he was lively an adventure. But still he was every bit as admired, and was adventurous on the inside.
