One morning a young little Grinch went to school but was laughed at and made fun by everyone at school for his looks and the homemade angel he made his crush. As a result, the Grinch becomes an evil genius until he meets Cindy lou. She, later on, changed him in a positive way. Secondly, the author ’s film “The Grinch Stole Christmas” uses the archetypes of the of the innocent and the misunderstood creature to sympathize with how we, as humans, believe that fitting in with the people around us is good.
This is despite the fact that we may need to change a characteristic or our appearance that may play a big role in who we are, just so we can fit in, so we are not judged or laughed at by others. One of the archetypes used is the I
...nnocent which is a young ignorant person, who has to go through a challenge in life that helps them come into the adult world, and usually, their innocents will rub off on others. For example, a nice girl might be friends with a mean person and that mean person might start to act a little nice, due to them being around that nice character.
Last but not least, there is the evil genius, who is the one who seeks revenge, and hates all according to websites such as “your dictionary”. Summary: In the story The Grinch Stole Christmas, there's a grinch who tries to take Christmas away from Whoville because of a past occurrence, of the Grinch being bullied, which lead him to hate Christmas and hate the Who’s, but when trying to take awa
Christmas there was a little glitch in his plan which caused major changes to the Grinch. The little glitch was a little girl named Cindy Lou.
Cindy Lou showed the Grinch more about Christmas, But she also helped him to realize that he needed to bring what he stole, when trying to take away Christmas. The Grinch's heart growing three times. At the beginning of the film, the directors introduced us to several characters like the evil genius, who is revengeful and was bullied as a kid. The Grinch grew up wanting vengeance due to his childhood trauma, for emotionally the Grinch was not stable.
The Grinch was not stable due to the trauma that scared him and caused him to grow up as what we can classify as the evil genius archetype. Physically he was hurt, by his peers who made fun of him, saying that he was 8 years old and he shouldn't have a beard, nor should the grinch shed or even have hair. As a result, the younger Grinch tried to shave it but failed.
To hide all the cuts on his face he put a bag on his head the very next day to hide from everyone until his teacher made him take it off. Everyone laughed at him. Also, to top it all off, he had a crush on Martha May, a young girl in his class. When it was Christmas time, the Grinch gave her an angel he made out of stuff he found, all those lead him to be the evil genius archetype, because the evil genius is bullied as a child, just like him. In the beginning, the Grinch
grew up to hate everyone as he grew older, which is the second part of the evil genius archetype, that the bullied grow up hating everyone and wanting vengeous.
As the film progresses, the directors show how the evil genius plots his revenge against those who judged and bullied, the Grinch as a kid, which caused him to feel outcasted and decided to live up on the top of a mountain with his dog Max and never seen again by the Who’s. While cast away he thought of ways he could get his revenge on the people he hates the most, the Who’s. The Grinch had the great idea of taking what the Who’s in Whoville love most, Christmas. This would cause havoc in the town, where they lived.
The Grinch went to each house in Whoville dressed as Santa, stealing all their food, decorations, and presents. He stuffed them in a bag to take to his mountain. In one house through a little girl came down the stairs, and caught him, but too tired to actually see that he wasn’t the actual Santa just asked “Why are you taking the tree, Santa?”, The Grinch quickly lied and told her that he was taking it to repair it. After she went upstairs, The Grinch stuffed all the stuff up the chimney and kept on going house to house until there were no more houses.
He then went and took all the decorations from around the town. The Grinch finally got his revenge because of the next day. The Who’s were sad and frantic because everything was gone and it was the day before Christmas. Towards the end of
the film, The who’s all start singing, because Christmas has come, and they realize they don't need all that stuff, and it makes the Grinch mad.
When the Grinch goes down to Whoville to rant on how they should be sad and arrest him, yet what he said even shocked himself, he was sorry. The Grinch brought back everything, and he carved the roast, but most importantly his heart grew three times that day. In conclusion, the story “The Grinch Stole Christmas” Shows how we as humans fear to be different, for they might be shunned, or being harassed by others, so we change ourselves.
As humans, we tend to react negatively to traumatic experiences, even though we know two wrongs don’t make a right, nor does being mean to someone solve the problem. Instead, it makes the problem worse, yet we still continue to choose wrongly. But some people learn from their mistakes or chose the right path, which in the end has a greater chance of solving the problem.
