That is the end of Maui and his great deeds. The Goddess of Life kills Maui and destroys the hope of immortality on Earth. He finds his ancestor, makes it all the way into her mouth while she is sleeping, and then she awakes. He developed the trickster ability to shape shift so he changed them into birds so they could not bother him. If he wanted to make life eternal, he needed her heart and he needed his brothers to not sabotage his work. Man ought to die like the moon, which dips in the life-giving waters of Kane and is renewed again, or like the sun, which daily sinks into the pit of night and with renewed strength rises in the morning.” Myth and KnowingĪfter defeating so many obstacles throughout his life, his mother informed him that his ancestor was the Goddess of Life. Death is degrading and an insult to the dignity of man. Maui said “I do not wish men to die but to live forever. His ancestors and family advised him that it was not a good idea and can do more harm than he probably anticipates. He wanted to bring eternal life to everyone. Maui’s last attempt to help better the lives of his people was a bit adventurous. His brothers never doubted Maui’s ability to fish again. To his brothers’ astonishment, an island starts to emerge from the ocean. Finally when they can no longer see the shore, Maui casts his enchanted fish hook into the ocean and soon needs to use all his might to reel in his catch. When they get further, Maui tells them they are not far enough. They paddle the boat out past the waves and Maui tells them to keep going. It is a fish hook made from the jaw bone from his ancestress. Before the trip, Maui makes a quick trip to the underworld to get a gift from an ancestor. They are hesitant but their mother has them take Maui along for the trip. Maui assures them that he will carry his weight this time. They say he is lazy and a terrible fisherman. The tale starts with Maui and his brothers going fishing except his brothers do not want Maui to go. This story encapsulates the trickster that Maui is characterized as. It was his grandmother’s suggestion and he “ensnared the sun” to help grow the island.Īnother one of his famous deeds was when Maui fished up the great island of New Zealand. ![]() One of Maui’s great deeds was slowing the sun down to allow agriculture to flourish. So when he starts accomplishing his great deeds, his family and fellow islanders feel tricked but also grateful. Most people genuinely do not believe in him to begin with. He does not deceive people out of malice. Maui, the Trickster God of Polynesian culture, is an interesting representation as to what a trickster is. ![]()
