Literature

2. Message
•Please note that we are looking at these
words as a basis for conflict analysis in
fiction.
•Also, we will be studying literature as a
cultural reflection of the time it was written.

3. •A "sin"in the context of Thomas of Aquinas, can be
defined as "something human beings do which
causes them to be unreasonable and
unhappy."
•Much of the suffering that occurs in literature is due to a
character committing of the sins.
Bonus: In many of the older horror movies, the audience
can predict who will die by noticing who sins.

•c.1485 (50 Kb); Prado, Madrid

•The circular layout with god in the center represents
gods all seeing eye -No sin goes unnoticed.
•In the corners of the image appear the "Four Last
Things" mentioned in late medieval spiritual handbooks:
Deathbed, the Last Judgment, Heaven, and Hell, all of
which are favorite themes of separate Bosch panels.

6. Pope Gregory the Great
•Pope Gregory the Great revived
the idea of "The Seven Deadly
Sins" in the sixth century.
•He listed the spiritual offenses
with Pridebeing the first and
gravest of the seven because it
can lead to the other six.
•The seven deadly sins are
usually committed against one's
self and can destroy a person's
physical and spiritual health.

7. Capital Vices
During the 13th century, the
Roman Catholic Church
incorporated these sins into
its teaching.
The church called them "capital
vices" that can lead to sin.
Literature such as Geoffrey
Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales"
and various paintings have
illustrated the seven deadly
sins.

8. 1.PRIDE/Vanity
•A person thinks he/she
already "knows it all"and
"has it all".
•Pride is a sin when it is in
excess because it prevents
one from growing and
evolving, and from accepting
oneself and others fairly and
realistically.

9. Vanity:
the Narcissus myth
•In Greek mythology,
Narcissus was an extremely
beautiful young man whowas
obsessed with his own
beauty.
•When he saw his face in the
water, he fell in love with it
and could not stop looking at
the reflection.
•He gradually turned into a
flower, now commonly known
as Narcissus.

myth, Narcissus drowns
after trying to kiss his
own reflection.

meaning “excessive self

14. 5. Lust

have a strong sexual
attraction towards
another. This
attraction causes
destructive choices.

15. 6.GLUTTONY
•Instead of being satisfied with what one
has, he/she wants more, more, more.
•The chief error about Gluttony is to think it

or only do a minimal job.

17. Get ready for this…

19. Sloth-Patrick
Sloth is the sin of laziness,
or unwillingness to act.
Obviously, this is Patrick.
He lays under a rock all the
time and doesn't really do
anything. In fact, in the
episode "Big Pink Loser" he
got an award for doing
nothing the longest.

20. Wrath-Squidward
•Wrath involves
feelings of hatred
and anger.
Squidward hates
his life, usually
hates SpongeBob,
and is pretty much
angry most of the
time.

21. Greed-Mr. Krabs
•Obviously, Mr.
Krabs is greedy
and desires
money. He actually
sang about the
power of greed in
"Selling Out".

22. Envy-Plankton
•Plankton is envious of
Mr. Krabs because
The Krusty Krab is a
success while The
Chum Bucket is a
failure. His envy
drives him to try to
steal the Krabby Patty
secret formula.

23. Pride-Sandy
•Sandy takes a lot
of pride in who she
is and that she is
from Texas. She
also takes pride in
the fact that she is
a mammal and a
land creature.

24. Gluttony-Gary
There is a running gag in
where Spongebob says,
“Don't forget to feed Gary."
or "I gotta go feed Gary."
Gary even ran away that
time when SpongeBob
forgot to feed him.

25. Lust-SpongeBob
•Lust in one definition is
"excessive love of
others". SpongeBob
shows his love of others
with his over eagerness
to do good and help
people. He loves
everyone around him,
even if they don't exactly
love him back.

26. Homework due
