Dynamic Duos- Final Task

rowens — 2015-02-16 11:44:37 UTC

Can you find an innocent character from your reading or a movie you saw or know and list who his/her/its mentor is? , the temptress/tempter?, the villain? Create an educreation video (or pick another tool) and share what you know about these character types by giving examples from your reading or movies you have seen.

You only need to watch about 30 seconds of this video- not the 4 minutes.

Part 3: If the Mentor is not Around, . . .

A temptress or tempter may influence the innocent one. Think back or review the Anna clip and Ariel clip? How did Hans function as a tempter? How about Ursula in the Ariel clip? Look at the video clip from Snow White for one more example - next post (Part 3 #1)

Part 3 #2: Temptress or Villain

rowens — 2015-02-16 12:14:43 UTC

Some sources state that the temptress must be something or someone beautiful to be a temptress. Ursula is not when she tempts Ariel, but she is when she tempts Eric. Hans is handsome, and Anna does fall in love at first sight. In some versions of Snow White the "witch" is beautiful, and we know that the Sirens were portrayed that way. Some times the temptress/tempter character appears nice, but is not. So sometimes the temptress character type is not focused on as much as the villain. Look at the next few posts to see villians in action or in a picture.

Part 3 #1: The Temptress

From Snow White - listen to the witch . . . she waits for the little men not to be around . . what does she promise? (answer in your journal)

Part 2 #1: The Mentor (aka - sometimes known as the Wise One)

rowens — 2015-02-16 16:33:12 UTC

Look at the various pictures of mentors and then watch the two clips. How would you define the mentor archetype? What must the mentor do? Do you think there are different types of mentors? Explain. Answer this in your journal.

After watching video clips 1-4, . . .

rowens — 2015-02-16 16:33:17 UTC

What common characteristics do you see in Dorthy, Anna, Buddy and Ariel? If I told you characters like Dobby (although a magical creature also innocent), Cinderella, and Prim are several other examples of innocent character types, does that fit into your definition? Answer these questions in your journal.

4. Ariel

rowens — 2015-02-16 16:33:20 UTC

In the movie Little Mermaid, Ariel wants to be a human, so she can be near the man that she loves, Eric. She trusts Ursula, but should she?

Part 2: The Influence

rowens — 2015-02-16 16:33:25 UTC

The innocent character changes through the course of the story because of a counterpart in the story. The innocent character is a dynamic character (in a story, a dynamic character is someone who undergoes an important, internal change because of the action in the plot). The change may come from advice and guidance from a mentor, from battling a temptress, trying to defeat a villain, etc. That is why I names this wall Dynamic Duos... it is another typical cahracter type that changes the innocent one. View more videos to learn about the mentor, the temptress, the villian or shadow, etc. I have attached a video to learn more about static and dynamic characters. You can choose to watch this now or later.

3. Buddy

rowens — 2015-02-16 16:33:40 UTC

In the movie Elf, Buddy finds the world outside of The North Pole full of mystery and excitement. What do you think his innocence tries to/can teach us?

2 Dorthy

rowens — 2015-02-16 16:33:43 UTC

In The Wizard of Oz, Dorthy believes the wizard will be able to get her home. Dorthy is a girl from Kansas and the magical and enchanting land she has "landed" in is all new to her. Is it the wizard that truly helps her get home?

1. Anna

rowens — 2015-02-16 16:33:47 UTC

In the movie Frozen, Anna believed that her love was real with Hans even though they had just met. Anna also believed she could help her sister and convince her sister to return. Has Anna put her trust in the right person?

The Innocent One

rowens — 2015-02-18 15:18:19 UTC

Sometimes the "innocent" is portrayed as a child, a maiden, an animal, etc. Regardless who or what takes the role of the innocent one, there is always someone who is after them or wants to take advantage of him/her. Likewise, the innocent ones also draw upon those to help them along the way by giving them advice, rescuing them, supporting them, etc. Whether it is a temptress who takes advantage of the innocence of a character, the villain or shadow who is out to get the innocent one, etc. or the mentor who guides, the hero who rescues, etc., the innocent one always has another archetypal character along for the ride. Check out the innocent characters, the temptresses/ tempters, the villians, the mentors, the heroes and the guides...
