A Wizard of Eathsea Ged’s Inner Journey :: Ged Inner Journey Essays
A Wizard of Eathsea                Ged’s Inner Journey  Ged goes though many struggles in the book â€Å"A Wizard of Eathsea.†The book follows him though the many stages in his life, he learns many lessons and goes though numerous trials and tribulations. All these things help him through his own personal battle of life, his inner journey. Ged’s inner journey is shaped by the many people, places, and things he encounters during his outer journey.             Geds inner journey begins as a young boy, he was quite remarkable and very smart. Then as an adolescent he learns not to let his ego in his way and what happens when he does. Finally he learns how to defeat the shadow and how too win his life back.                                   As a young boy Ged learns to fend for himself. His mother dies when he is young, and his father and older brothers have no use for him. That must have made his soul yearn for love, because he never got it as a child. He was a wild and unruly child, and the only time his aunt paid attention to him is when she found out he had powers. It is as if the aunt used him to live vicariously though, and that would make anyone upset and cold to others. However, Ged learns to overcome all of his emotional struggles and becomes someone who is caring toward others. When he is a little older, he leaves his home. This is easy for him to do because he has no emotional ties to anyone in Ten Alders, and he has the will to learn. He has almost â€Å"a calling†to go with Ogion, and it is his fate to do so. He can feel it inside of him, an urge to go; He doesn’t know what but he needs to go.                        Geds ego and impatience are always getting to the best of him, Ogion is trying to teach him important lessons, but Ged is still young and still has romantic fantasies about what being a wizard is all about. He lets himself make decisions with just his heart instead of with his brain, which gets him in to trouble. For instance when Serret meets Ged in the field and she teases him and makes him fell dumb, he then tries to use powers, which he can’t handle, so he can feel good about himself.
