Parable/ allegory

Right now i would like to talk about the parable and allegory since this is the latest topic that i have gone trough with my lecturer in class.

Before that, i would like to give some clarification the meaning of parable and allegory itself. As what i have learnt about this topic, parable or allegory brings the meaning that symbolic expression of a deeper meaning through a story or scene acted out by human, animal or mythical characters.
To make more understand about this topic, i have choose one drama that reflects with the topic of parable and allegory. The story that i would like to choose to reflects this thing is Merlin.  Do you know about Merlin?
Ok, let me brief the story first. Merlin is an exciting fantasy series set in the mythic city of Camelot, but inspired by 21st Century telling. Before Merlin and Arthur became legends, they were ambitious young men looking for adventure hoping to live up to their families, expectations, discovering love and findings their own true destiny, making mistakes along the way. Actually Merlin is someone that have a power to cursing or curing people but he did not reveled the abilities that he has up when his friend, the king of Camelots know about it.

I choose the story is because the story have a deep meaning behind the story that same with The Seven Ages Of Man.
For the first, the prisoners that identified in that story drama is Sir Arthur.The chains is the punishment that Merlin will get whenever he shows his abilities to others. The fire is the problems that occurs in particular time. for the shadows and the images that identified in this story is Merlin. The puppet players is the Dinosour and for the old man is Gaius.
I choose Sir Arthur as the prisoners because he is the one the must not know the reality about Merlin identity and ability. Then, the chains is punishment  that Merlin will get whenever he shows the abilities because Merlin can't to show his real identity and ability because whenever other person know about it, Merlin can not to take care of his friend or King of The Camelot. Furthermore, problems that occurs in certain time become the fire because whenever the situation is under control and do not need his help to ensure Sir Arthur in safe condition. Then, the shadows and the images is Merlin itself because whenever the fire or problems that occurs need Merlin to control, Merlin will show and use his ability to control the situation. The puppet players is the dinosaur because Merlin will see and meet with Dinasour to ask the opinion how to control and solve the problems that happened. Thus, Merlin action is controlled by the Dinosour. Lastly, the old man is Gaius. This is because Gaius is only the person that know about Merlin and specialty that Merlin have. So. whenever Gaius told the truth about Merlin to Sir Arthur, it actually open the chains and Sir Artur will shock and know the reality. At firrst, Sir Artur's eyes will hurts whenever he know the reality and the shadows which have been projected for many years. Then the only person that can explain towards Sir Artur about Merlin is Gaius that opened the chains that have in Sir Arthur but he still denied it since he was know and be friends with  Merlin for a long time.  Sir Arthur act like that because he is really trust with the illusions that have been projected towards him for a long time and then he trust that illusions that he have gone trough  before is much more real than what he just know at that time.

In a conclusion, i found out that learning parable and allegory is something that really exciting, Although it make me more to think deeply, it is actually make me learnt how to think wisely.
- thank you-





Jack The Ripper
 

Who is jack the ripper? What so special about him that make people keep talking about him and make it as a history of London.
Actually Jack the ripper remained that popular is because one important reason which is the serial killer that happen in Whitechapel. The name called as Jack The Ripper just because the killer crime that he had done which is killing the prostitutes at in the East End of London in 1888. The name actually inventions of a letter that written by someone claiming to be a murderer that was disseminated in the media.
The others nickname that used to described the killer at that time were " The Whitechapel Murderer and 'Leather Apron'. Although the murder only happen in a small section of the comunity which is the prostitues, it still give a big immpact towards other comunity and societies.

Generally, Jack The ripper is known by killing five victims which names as Mary Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes and Marry Kelly. All of the victims are killed terribly with a modus operandi such as same type of wounds, deep throats slashes, abdominal and genital area mutilation and in some cases a complete removal of internal organ. Regarding about the cases, there are lots of suspects that being recognized such as Carl Feigenbaum,James Kelly, Sir John Williams and many more. In my point of view, i would like to suspects more on James Kelly since i do a research about him to practice as a defended and prosecutor in my class.

Why i pick James Kelly as the Jack The Ripper? In my background reading, there are lots of information that can links James Kelly as the killer. One of that is Kelly has a deep insane that lead him to bring the Broudmour Asylum. This is because Kelly was suspected killing his wife, Sarah in 1883. The factor that lead act like is because he felt the lack of intimacy with Sarah and the feelings is actually as the factor Kelly began to seek the company with prostitutes which resulted him contracting a venerable disease. After that, his mood and behavior had begun to change, and he was suffering from nasty. Based on my claimed, it cab prove that Jamses Kelly is the truth suspect for the connicle five. This is because Kelly killed the 5 prostitutes to show the revenge towards the groups that give him a venerable disease. Then, because of that, he was diagnosed Paranoid Schizohrenic that contributes to false beliefs (delusions) and the consciousness of kelly was down and he become insane.

Furthermore, according to one pages that state Kelly as the Ripper is when Kelly is actually located in London around the time Jack The Ripper murder. This claimed becomes more confirms when the first killed  is happen in London. It is certainly happen quite possible, maybe even probable that he was indeed the true culprit of these incredibly vicious and almost the cruel killer.
In a conclusion, i really want to appoint and stand with my view that Jack the Ripper is actually James Kelly.
