Character Analysis Of John Bender In The Criminal

Decent Essays
I had John Bender “The Criminal” and his personality is the stereotypical “bad boy” or rebel in movies. In the film he always in shown alone as he arrives and leaves alone. He dislikes anyone who thinks that they have it better than him and he is very mean to everyone towards the beginning of the film. Specifically he hates “The princess” for having her dad’s money, he hates “the nerd” for having what he thinks is a perfect life at home, he hates “The Jock” because he is always looked at positively, and he hates “The basket case” because she is just a little bit weird. He has a very short temper, does drugs, and is very critical of others and points out every flaw in them. Although he seems to be impenetrable, he isn’t. Throughout the film
