Paper Summary:
The purpose of this paper is to introduce, discuss, and analyze the novel "Atonement" by Ian McEwan. Specifically it contains an archetypal criticism of the book, showing how the author weaves the archetypal motif of Cinderella throughout the story. "Atonement" is the story of a young girl who changes the fate of others by her accusations, and then attempts to atone for her actions throughout her life. Briony opens the novel as a 13-year-old aspiring writer, and ends it as a 77-year-old acclaimed novelist. The paper relates that ehat happens in between this time is a story of change and tragedy, all brought together by Briony's own fairy tale story telling.
From the Paper:
"Robbie really does seem like a "Prince Charming" who can handle himself in any situation, and would make a good and loyal husband. That is confirmed when Robbie returns with the boys after a long night of searching, oblivious of the charges against him. McEwan shows his triumphant and innocent, when he writes, "Then it was obvious - this was Robbie, with one boy sitting up on his shoulders and the other holding his hand and trailing a little behind" (McEwan 171). That is alluded to again when Robbie "saves" Briony from drowning, and she tells him, "'I wanted you to save me'" (McEwan 217). Robbie is almost a larger-than-life figure, and in the novel, he represents everything good and decent, while Paul represents pure evil, but receives the rewards, anyway."
