    Chris Colfer once claimed, “A villain is just a victim whose story has not been told.” It is sometimes the actions of the supposed heroes themselves that force the characters to be seen in a villainous light. In The Crucible by Arthur Miller, Abigail Williams is a villain whose actions are provoked by the prejudice and ignorance of people in the world around her. As a result, she becomes one of the greatest influences of the witchcraft trials in Salem, and readers view her as seditious and evil. However, her actions are not the result of her malicious character, but are rather the result of past and current injustices.…

    A common link with a majority of the texts from the turn of the century was the focus on realistic situations. Realism’s core was to inform; not to entertain or make light of the struggle between the social classes and race issues. Several authors from this literary movement (Hamlin Garland, Charles Chesnutt and Ambrose Bierce) wrote emotional narratives of individuals who struggled to assimilate in societies that ignored them. While Charles Chesnutt’s text was not as sad, however; the main character (despite being a wealthy former slave) fell victim to the idea that black people were inferior regardless of social status.…

    Heroes, throughout time, intrinsically portray noble stalwarts that selflessly defend commoners from imminent danger by operating with abounding strength and bravery. A steadfast moral compass, that also inherently abides within them, leads heroes to ethical and upright decisions. Conversely, a protagonist who lacks the qualities of a hero is referred to as an antihero; he or she serves as an example of how one should not live. Leo Tolstoy contributes to the hero versus antihero archetype with Ivan Ilych, who, when faced with his own mortality, commits to an internal battle between right and wrong. In The Death of Ivan Ilych by Leo Tolstoy, the protagonist Ivan Ilych overcomes his self-centeredness and cowardice to achieve the status of a hero by bravely confronting the realities of his life.…

    The poem “The Dresser”, by Walt Whitman, seems to value humanitarian morals, such as human livelihood and mercy. The speaker of the poem works at hospitals during the civil war, and accordingly witnesses many gruesome spectacles of dying soldiers: “Priceless blood reddens the grass, the ground” (The Dresser, page 3 of the “Drum-Taps” excerpts). The speaker’s diction of describing the soldiers’ blood as “priceless” depicts the speaker’s valuing of human livelihood. Additionally, the speaker doesn’t specify which side of the civil war the soldiers are on, which shows that the speaker values all human life, not only the side that the speaker is supporting. The speaker is shown to also value mercy later in the poem: “Come, sweet death!…
