Hellgates story and character
Hellgate Trilogy The Hellgate trilogy is a most read series. This trilogy has an action/sci-fi genre and follows three main characters. The main characters have separate allegiances and views. The series has a great main hero, complex relationships, and a struggling romance. It has great descriptions of all events of past or present happenings. It has several in depth fight scenes involving human versus human and human versus demon. There are several different types and styles of combat and weapons. There are several relationships and very little romance. If you look at the overview of the storyline, you can see serious moral schemes and values attached to each character and they all have basic human struggles, so when you read, you feel like you have been drawn in and identify with each plot and scheme. This makes all the events of this doomsday event more realistic.

Simon Cross is part of the Templar Underground. Simon rebels against the believe system of the Templar at a young age and runs off to Africa. He realizes that he was wrong when he sees the Hellgates in London and immediately returns to London and rejoins the Templar
Underground. Upon his return, Simon is met with distrust and scorn by almost all of the
Templar especially the leader of his house Terrence Booth. After Simon realizes that the Templar are not helping the civilians or doing anything to stem the tide of Demons, he rebels again. This time he is joined by likeminded Templar and they start rescuing civilians. Simon and his friends set up sanctuary. This begins the great stand for humanity that the sanctuary fights against the
Demons and the Templar Underground. Simon is the story's main charter and is flawed but attempts to do best for society but struggles with his decisions and his standing.

    Simon is an overall really kind person who always thinks of others, and it respectable. In part II of the movie, the hunters finally killed the pig, and after a while of not eating, they could finally enjoy a meal. Everyone got to eat besides Piggy, and when Piggy asked for food, Jack sternly told him no. Simon offered his part of the pig to Piggy, and he accepted.

After the assembly about whether or not there is a ghost, Jack went against the rules and split up from Ralph because he was angry that Ralph opposed going after the beast.

For example Simon helped the narrator find out who his father was, since his mom died prior to telling him. Also it was Simon’s faith in God that people were always baffled about.…

    First, Simon is very faithful towards god. For example, Simon is known as a faithful person because he always believed that he was made the way he is for a special reason upcoming in the future. He also believed that god had a plan for everyone else, and most kids labeled Simon as ‘freaky’ for believing this. Simon thought even harder about the situation because nobody listened and believed what he was saying. Simon always went to his nearby church despite the repulsive people who work there and criticize him all the time. He went not because he had too, but because he wanted to know more about the secret god had for him later in life. Besides the fact that Simons parents didn’t care for going to church, Simon still went without a doubt. Simon showed great faithfulness throughout his life, besides the fact that nobody helped him figure out the real truth when he needed it the most.…

    Simon reveals a certain kindness and a deeper insight into human nature than the other boys on the island (Babb 24). Savagery does not triumph over Simon, who discovers the truth about the "beast" and tries to inform the boys that they only have themselves to fear. However, the boys savagely murder him before he can reveal what he has discovered. Simon is a Christ-figure, compassionate like Jesus and murdered like Jesus for bringing the truth. Simon's death symbolizes the ability of evil to turn people away from goodness and truth and towards violence and…

    The second group of children are classified by the cursed and wicked from the biblical story. Jack and Roger represent those influences by the Devil and Beelzebub. Finally, Simon’s death represents the death of Christ. Although Simon’s death does not represent the same sacrifice Jesus made, it holds some significance. After his murder, Golding describes the way Simon’s body submerges into the sea. The atmosphere during this time is subdued and the loud roar of nature quiets. The sky is filled with “an incredible lamp of stars” (Golding 156). This lull in nature shows his high stature to all things created by God. The final sign of importance after his death is when his body is pulled out to sea. His descent into the ocean can be compared to one’s ascent into heaven. This all attributes to Simon’s religious placement throughout the story. Simon is a character who refrains from the lusts from many of the other boys. His driving force for remaining civilized lies in his divine beliefs and commandments which he follows. He is one of the few characters who use their specific beliefs in order to remain…

    The devil, in literature, is always a catalyst of change for those who encounter him. He is a force working underground, moving against what is widely considered virtuous and good, and it is contact with him that often changes the course of characters lives, and even the world. In Paradise Lost and a book based on it, The Golden Compass, ‘the devil', in both cases, is an advocate for moving away from the control of God and the Church. Where the stories differ, is in the author's intent for these actions. In the former, John Milton uses the devil to display how vanity and pride are the sins that halt us in an opportunity to live blissfully, with and under God. Philip Pullman, in his twist on Paradise Lost, The Golden Compass, claims that the original sin was the first, and most essential, step in human beings claiming their free will. He writes the devil (Lord Asriel) as a manipulative, selfish but ultimately admirable character. One who stands his ground and holds onto his beliefs with an intense passion. Milton's Satan, on the other hand, comes off originally as charming, but slowly presents himself to be weak and unsure, and his ideals are eventually presented as a mask for his insatiable pride. When Milton's Satan tricks Adam and Eve into leaving paradise, they are ultimately worse off. Pullman, on the other hand, shows that human beings are essentially crippled without their right and ability to sin and make choices. It is through their differing portrayals of Satan, that Milton and Pullman present their respective cases on how the original sin caused man to lose paradise and eternal bliss, or find free will.…

    Simon's actions in the novel can be effectively compared to Christ and his actions. Because Simon was murdered, his situation can be compared to Jesus' and can be described in two ways. First of all, Simon died because of men's sins, instead of for sin of men like Christ did. Simon is also considered the Christ-figure because he…

    It is the story of a quest of the grail used to annex the blood of Christ. Before the knights find the Holy Grail they must demonstrate to themselves faithfulness and true knightly hood of the Christian faith. Those who have done wrong must try to ask forgiveness and change their ways, such as Lancelot tries to do, but fails to do so because he has too corrupt a nature to alter his path. Even those who have never been sinful must confess and follow in the Lord's path to find the Holy Grail. This is a very earnest story that teaches those who listen to repent and to be righteous. It encompasses a period of history of the Christian religion, which I feel in my life experience is rarely talked about. During this historical era, religion had as much authority over a person as their king, if not more. People attended church as much as they possibly could. I have found that some relate to these simpler times as better than now because at least then people took time to spend in religious undertakings and did not have to spend every waking minute working or recovering from working.…
