Arche-types Hero; Templeton
I think that Templeton is the hero all along. The author EB White portrayed him as the villain, he made Templeton seem so evil and selfish, but without Templeton, Charlotte would not be able to write any words, Templeton was the one that brought Charlotte the words. Templeton was the one who bit Wilbur's tail when he fainted to wake him up again. Templeton was the one who brought Charlotte's babies to Wilbur, and yeah, Wilbur did have to sacrifice is food for Templeton to do this but no hero is perfect and it's not like he's waiting 24-7 for a mission. But Templeton is sort-of the misunderstood hero who many people don't like but, hey. Not all rats are evil, sure they're conniving and nasty but sometimes you gotta give somebody a chance an don't judge them for being who they are. I believe that Templeton is the hero. Believe it or not, he's the one who saved Wilbur's life.
Connecting- annotations
It's really bothering me how no one appreciates Charlotte ( except the animals of course) Everybody like Lurvy or Zuckerman never say anything about how Charlotte is the one that's making the webs, only how Wilbur is the one standing under it maybe for once they would say that "wow,we have one heck of a spider !" But, no one ever does. I think that Wilbur shouldn't be the one who is getting treated so special .He's not doing anything that's worth all this attention, once again he's just standing under the web, but they should really realize who's on the web actually making it.

CHARLOTTE'S WEB ♥
I think that friendship and trust are two of the most important themes in Charlotte's Web. Wilbur has to have a lot of trust in Charlotte, because he is literally putting his life in her tiny spider hands. Don't you think that's a lot to handle for a little spider? But Charlotte comes through with her promise and her plan works, All this time, Charlotte never asked for anything in return. After Charlotte dies, Wilbur takes care of her babies as a return for Charlotte. Charlotte is a really good friend, she basically wastes the rest of her life helping her friend live, it's like she gave up her life for his.
Another example of trust is with Fern. All the animals have to trust Fern because she knows about Charlotte's plan, and usually most people wouldn't trust a 8 year old girl, so all these animals are depending on Fern to not tell anybody.
So, I think trust and friendship are the highlights of this book. Wilbur's life is depending on Charlotte's Web.
