Moonlight
Each and everyone of us has our own beliefs and concepts on a particular things around us-in our lives. Often times we are much consistent with our beliefs because we thought that what we believed is the right one. But then there are times wherein this concepts suddenly change because of some instances that brought to us to a new realization about life which is what happened to Abbe Marignan, the main character of the story moonlight written by Guy de Maupassant.
On the first part of the story Abbe Marignan was described as a tall thin priest, full of zeal, his soul always exalted but just. All beliefs were fixed, they never wavered. “ The why and the because always balanced out “ which simply shows that he is a logic person, he believes that everything happens for a reason. “ I am the servant of God, I should know his purposes and if I don’t, I should Devine them” he believes that he is a good servant of God, that he understood his God. He has a negative concept when it comes to women. For him women possess all the negativities. “ She was the temptress who has ensnared the first man – a weak creature, dangerous, curiously disturbing. He really hated women as he hates love. He believes that love is not associated with cristianity, that love is not worthy. He was exasperated by this need to love which always trembled in them.”
In the part of the story when he went out, he witnessed the beauty of the pale night, observed the surroundings and saw the young lovers, he arrived at a new realization in life. Those negative concepts and beliefs about women and love suddenly change. “Perhaps God has made such nights to veil the lover of men with ideal beauty.” He realized that love is a beautiful thing that God created. “ And fled distraught almost ashamed as if he had entered a temple where he had no right to be.” It’s a self realization that he is not only a good servant of God, that all his concepts on women and love are wrong.
This transformation of the character in the story is the usual one. It is just like in our real life situation wherein sometimes we thought that we are the best one, that we are right, we adhere to our beliefs but in the later part because of some things or instances that we encountered we arrive to new realization in life and there comes to a point that we are ashamed to ourselves because we find out that we are wrong.

His friends told him that it is better to be circumcise by the elders but his parents prefer a doctor to circumcise him. In the end, he was circumcised by a doctor named Handi Ong.
In the story the main character named Bornok acts in way which is normal in his age. In the first part of the story when his father told him that he should be circumcised, his acts shows that he is afraid to undergo circumcision “ Biglang nagpundong magkaon si Bornok, nagdarakula pati si mga mata”. A boy in his age ofcourse will feel the same thing like what Bornok felt, that he is afraid to be circumcised . “tanu noy habu mo?gusto mong kuanon ka ni kulakog?” in this line Bornok’s father is threatening him that if he will not be circumcised, “Kulakog” an imaginary something monster-like creature will take him.
