King Midas
Storyboard Text
- This panel shows the setting. King Midas sits in a room filled with gold and valuables. There is also a light above him which will be important later.
- King Midas hears the door creak open and a shadow falls over his beloved wealth. This is during the rising action of this scene because a stranger has entered his chamber. Said chamber was locked so no mortal should be able to get in.
- The king turned around and saw a hearty young man. The man had what seemed to be a golden radiance to him. This shows characterization because it describes the stranger.
- The deity spoke and questioned what it was that the King truly desired, for surely he had gained enough wealth to be content? This is the beginning of a set of dialogue between the two. This conversation continues for the rest of the scene.
- The deity then asked hesitantly “Well what is your wish? You are a noble king so I will grant you a favor.” The king thought for a moment with much concentration. This hesitation is an internal conflict in the king of more wealth or something different.
- In a flash King Midas’s wish was granted and the god was gone. The irony is that you should never take a gods “gift” at face value, for they are more often more of a curse than a blessing. The theme is you should always be thankful for what you have and not be as greedy as Midas.
