Christ figures are displayed throughout literary works all the time and they help create a deeper and symbolic meaning to the story. An example of a Christ figure is in the movie Seven Pounds, where the character Ben Thomas devotes his life to helping others with illnesses. Some similarities that I found Ben shared with Christ include:
1)Ben Thomas is in agony because he regrets causing the accident that killed innocent people.
2)Ben is self-sacrificing because he helps the terminally ill and other people who actually deserve help. He donates bone marrow to a small boy and donates one of his kidneys to and older woman. He also helps a woman get away from her abusive boyfriend and gives her his house so she can be sure that her boyfriend won’t find her. …show more content…
5)Ben is a carpenter because he is employed as an engineer and is always fixing things. He rebuilds the woman’s fence and an old time printer machine.
6)He spends a lot of time in the outdoors, on the beach, where he often is seen sitting and contemplating his life and the lives of others.
