If the opposing Labour Together
The concept of Yin and Yang "in ancient China. The concept describes two opposing but complementary forces or principles, which are found in objects and processes in the universe. Yin is the dark element, often to the feminine aspect of the name, and night. Yang, on the other hand, is associated with the lightest element of the masculine aspects, and also the day (Wikipedia). The psychologist William Indick argued that in some stories,from time to time ", two characters are as different as night and day ... but [they] are complementary" (Indick, Psychology 117). In the story Charlotte's Web by EB White, Charlotte and Templeton complement each other and work together to save Wilbur.
Charlotte and Templeton each other physically. Charlotte is a female spider or "Yin", while Templeton is a male rat and its counterpart "Yang". The spider is described as a hunter, and she loves to drink bloodIT animal traps (White 39). In addition, Wilbur thinks his new friend Charlotte is "savage, brutal, scheming and bloodthirsty" (41). In contrast, Templeton explained that "prefers to spend his time trying to eat [Leftovers] Nagel, espionage, and hides ... I'm a glutton (29). Believes that Charlotte (47)" A rat is a rats. "But these physical characteristics can not completely tied to the personality of the characters'.
In the history of Charlotte is not just any spider, but aMother figure of Wilbur. EV White uses the "archetype of a mother" as part of the personality of Charlotte. Dr. Indick said that the associations of common archetypes and images, ideas or significant figures unconscious, to affect all people (Indick, Psychology 113-114) can be. Charlotte is a caring and loving "mother" of Wilbur. When Wilbur discovers that by the end of the year, will be killed, he begins to scream in despair and asks for help. As a mother, CharlotteMake and promises Wilbur to develop a plan to rescue the dark (51). Wilbur also acts as a child and from time to time Charlotte asks him to tell a story. So the spider is the story of Wilbur's beautiful cousin, who runs a Web page on a small stream around. At the end of the story Wilbur asked Charlotte to sing a song and he sings a song as a loving mother to her beloved son (101-104).
Despite the appearance of Charlotte, is also a mentor teacherWilbur. Dr. Indick argued that the archetype mentor is a very common figure in the stories, myths and movies. In addition, a mentor teacher is a wise and inspiring that he taught and rejected students. Furthermore, "the teacher sees his students as an emerging hero, overcoming their weaknesses just under his leadership ... and the victory of his students become victories of his own" (Indick, Movies 53-54). Charlotte meets the archetype of the mentor teachers, because they teach their students a variety ofTopics such as "One afternoon, Wilbur from Charlotte says that hairy legs terrible. The Charlotte continues to explain that her legs are hairy for a reason, [spin webs] and their legs are in seven sections, the coaxial cable, the ', trochanter, femur, patella, tibia, metatarsus and tarsus (55). The teacher helps students develop their vocabulary, Wilbur is always asking the meaning of a word like "What does it say hello? What sedentary? Or what does it mean to say gullible? (35,61,67). On the other hand, towards the end of the story, Wilbur wins a prize at the show in Charlotte and asks why she is so calm. Charlotte replied that is a bit 'tired, but it feels comfortable, because success in the ring Wilbur, was a small part of their success (163). So, after all their hard work and after Wilbur exceed its weaknesses, the teacher feels the student to success as he won success.
Like Yin and Yang, TempletonThe personality is the exact opposite of the personality of Charlotte.
First, it does so as a parent to a child's selfless act. As the story is sad and bored Wilbur Templeton and asks to speak with him and play with him. But the rat Wilbur disappointed, because unlike a loving father, Templeton does not work on it and says, "I never do things if I can avoid them" (29). Templeton behavior can be explained by Erickson's psychosocial stagesIdentity crisis, the phase confidence than distrust. Based on this level, said Dr. Indick a questionable character (like Templeton) reluctant to engage in a heroic thing, because it is not the good people who need his help (Indick, psychology 80) trust. To resolve conflicts, mistrust, the nature of a "leap of faith", what does it say that he let down their guard and give yourself more than anyone has to give other means. The leap of faith is not a great transformation isonly one step, in which the character moves in a more active, to help someone (Indick, Psychology 81).
Charlotte and Templeton are as different as night and day. Charlotte caring, loving, trustworthy, loyal, and, while Templeton is the opposite, because he is not trusted, he "has no morals, no conscience, no scruples, no consideration, no decency, no milk of rodent kindness, no scruples, no higher feeling, no friendliness, no anything "(45-46). In addition, Templeton is selfish.Charlotte says of the oldest sheep, that is not safe, Templeton will be willing to help, because "he is always looking after himself, never to that other" (89).
Therefore, either a parent or teacher figure Templeton, or a friend or someone Wilbur.
Although Templeton is selfish and unreliable, he takes the leap of faith ", while working to save the rest of Charlotte and Wilbur. Charlotte needs new words to write in their network, theorders of old sheep Templeton lead a section of a magazine (90-91). Charlotte can not be himself took part, because of their physical limitations. But it is a rat Templeton, has more physical ways to execute the order because he comes and goes as he pleases, unlike the rest of the animals. Although Templeton refuses to do the work in the first place, after a brief explanation of the old sheep, he agrees to help and says, "I make a trip to dump tomorrow afternoon I'll bring.even a magazine clipping, if I can find one. "Templeton is also a listing with the words" with New Radiant action 'and, together, like yin and yang, (Templeton and Charlotte) to study the soap advert (97). Although Templeton are not treated as a "runner", he looks around at the fair to attract and Charlotte the last word, writes in his web. "Humble" (139-140) at the end of the story, without being asked, Templeton also the bits of queue when Wilbur faints in particularPeople, and is easily persuaded to take cocoon Wilbur Charlotte (168-169). Sun Templeton was moved to a more active and helps Wilbur.
Regardless of the differences of the characters', they combine their skills and ability to work together and in the end, Wilbur safe. Jane Garry and Hasan El-Shamy, declares that:
A critical aspect of the concept of opposites is the union of opposites is perceived intrinsic affective a new unit, which is larger than a simpleProcessing of the two components ... In most general terms and conditions as the union of the idea that opposites attract each other and combine to create a whole greater than the sum of the parts in front of ... (Garry and El-Shamy 482)
Charlotte and Templeton are like day and night. Their personalities are very different. The spider is a mother, a teacher and a friend Wilbur. On the other hand, the rat is a person selfish, insensitive and ruthless. However, these two characters complement each otherothers, wok together to save Wilbur the form of death. Charlotte and Templeton developed a plan helps you and brings the words that need. They combine their talents, and as Yin and Yang are a powerful set that actually reach a selfless mission: to save the life of Wilbur.
