Abstract

This thesis examines the interpretations of Harry Potter’s and Voldemort’s wands which are related to the relationship between the wand and the owner. I am curious about finding the symbols behind the wands of Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort. The symbols that I use as the theory, reveal the power and the way they see the power through their wands. Therefore, the interpretations also reveal their relationships toward their wands. I interpret that both Harry’s and Voldemort’s wands disclose the personalities that they have. The relationship between the wands and the owner determines the success of each wizard to accomplish their goals. The affectionate relationship between Harry and his wand give mutual benefits for each of them. In contrast to Harry, Voldemort’s wand turns out to be a destructive weapon since there is no emotional attachment between him and his wand.

Abstract

The analysis is on Sam Witwicky, an ordinary man with no any special ability that becomes a hero and saves the earth in Transformers Series. In this thesis, I will reveal the reason of how Sam Witwicky becomes a hero. I will use the theory of the hero’s journey in order to reveal the reason of Sam Witwicky’s long journey in becoming a hero. In analyzing this movie, I will analyze the stages of the hero’s journey that Sam undergoes in order to be a hero. These are his departure, initiation, and return. Meanwhile, in departure stage, there are four steps that Sam faces in order to find his identity. Next, in initiation stage I discover that Sam needs to gather his courage. Last, in the return stage, Sam needs to have wisdom.
