The Emperor

Soon we get to know our earthly father, the Emperor. He represents all we come to expect of a father figure. He is worldly, wise and enjoys the fruits of his labours. Surely we can forgive him a little arrogance as he has so much to be proud of. If he sometimes seems aloof, we should remember that his is the responsibility to provide a home and security for all of us. That responsibility allows him to sit in his great chair on the top of the mountain but it can be lonely up there sometimes.

 

Exercise:

Study the image of the Emperor and try to fit his qualities into a short story. Mention why he is holding lightening bolts and a globe. What is the significance of the indigo robe?
