Supreme Leader Snoke and Darth Plagueis
Upon the release of the new Star Wars movie, The Force Awakens, many fans have speculated the origins of new characters. One of the most mysterious characters in The Force Awakens is Supreme Leader Snoke. There are many theories about Snoke being previous characters we’ve seen in the Star Wars saga before. Some of these characters are Emperor Palptine, Boba Fett, Jar Jar Binks, and Darth Plagueis. Other people believe Snoke is a Jedi in disguise, a force ghost, or just a completely original character the audience hasn’t previously seen before. I believe that, due to much evidence given in episodes II and VIII of Star Wars, Supreme Leader Snoke is Darth Plagueis.
Darth Plagueis was a male Muun. At an unknown point in his life, Plagueis took Sheev Palpatine, who was a human from Naboo, to train him as his

What we do know is this: Snoke was a male of unknown species, who is Force-sensitive. He served as the Supreme Leader of the First Order, roughly thirty years after the Battle of Endor. He had a peculiar and unique facial bone structure with many scars. Snoke was a very powerful Dark side user, who trained Ben Solo . He witnessed the rise and fall of the Galactic Empire. He had many apprentices before he invested in Ben, who was a member of the Skywalker bloodline, but chose to train Ben because he believed he had the right balances of the light and dark sides of the Force in him.
The first reason I think Darth Plagueis could be Supreme Leader Snoke is because he looks fundamentally the same to the physical depictions of Darth Plagueis. Although he doesn't have an elongated head, it can be defended in light of the fact that it could have been distorted from the several obvious and severe scars he has. Also, in the event that he had an elongated head in the motion picture, it would have been too obvious that he is Plagueis and the mystery surrounding Snoke wouldn’t be as

    The plague epidemics of the 6th, 14th, and 17th century are commonly known as Justinian’s Plague, the Black Death, and the Plague of 1665, respectively. Yersinia pestis was the major source of the plague in all three epidemics. Modern DNA analysis studies showed that Y. pestis has a strong correlation with victims of the Black Death in the 14th century. However, although these modern studies show biologically that Yersinia pestis was the cause of the Black Death, many scientists are skeptical and believe that the disease may have been typhus (Nutton). Another study shows a link between Justinian’s Plague and the Black Death (Nutton).…

    Although existing and rising to fame 1821 years apart, the murderers of Julius Caesar and Abraham Lincoln shared some unique similarities. One of them grew up in Ancient Rome, while the other grew up in a time of racial segregation and new beginnings. Even though they were born into two different times and lived under different circumstances, they were similar yet very different because they both felt the leaders had too much power and conspired to kill the powerful leaders. Marcus Junius Brutus the Younger was born June 85 B.C. in Philippi, Macedonia (now Greece) to Marcus Junius Brutus the Elder and Servilla Caepionis.

    In the play Antigone, both the titular character, Antigone, and her uncle, Creon, are tragic heroes. To truly see how both are tragic heroes, one would need to break down the definition of tragic hero, and see how each part applies to both characters. The first part of the definition states that a tragic hero is a person who gets caught in a series of events that lead to disaster. For both Creon and Antigone this could be seen as Creon’s decision “that no one may bury or mourn [Polynices], but see him unlamented, unburied”(Lines 29-31) . This leads to Antigone deciding to doing so anyways, which sets of the chain of events that leads to each of their deaths.…

    The Plague and The Plague: Are There Similarities In Between? Is the historical Black Death similar, in any way, to Albert Camus’s The Plague? Like the hurricane that brings fear and panic along with its powerful winds that sweep out everything with it, the same happened both in the real life and the fictional life. And despite obvious differences between history and Camus’ fictional representation, the novel The Plague manages to accurately depict society’s reaction to the devastation of The Plague, similar to the effects of The Black Death. Both Albert Camus’s The Plague and the Black Death, from the 14th century, were similar by the approach, by the genesis, and by the way, how the churches have manipulated this opportunity of the epidemic…

    Ghosts often represent an evil spirit in transition. The spirit cannot die either because it is in purgatory or because it has unfinished business on Earth. The only assumption one can make when a vengeful ghost appears is that no good thing could come from this visit. Shakespeare uses ghosts in many of his plays to help the plot move along or to foreshadow an outcome. Julius Caesar and Hamlet are just two examples.…

    One of modern society’s favourite pastimes is watching and comparing films. Films have the ability to make us laugh, cry, or even think while touching our hearts no matter what the genre is. Contemporary media genres have dramatically changed since classical literary times, which divided theatrical and literature into groups of drama and comedy, giving birth to genres. Films have become difficult to place into a specific genre, as “any theme may appear in any genre” (Chandler 1997, p. 1) resulting in genres blending continuously. For example, a Science Fiction (Sci-Fi) film is classified in that genre due to its situational context and fundamental plot, though, Sci-Fi films may also be categorised into genres such as horror (Aliens), comedy…
