When Was Llewelyn Moss Heroic

Decent Essays
Although most of the characters didn’t have much of a heroic side I believe the filmmakers put an emphasis on the motives of these characters, which determines whether they are villainous or heroic. In the case of this film, I would label Llewelyn Moss and Anton Chiguhr as the main culprits that are highly motivated by similar values. Llewelyn comes across a suitcase filled with two million dollars in the middle of a field. After taking the suitcase back home and burying it under his house, Llewelyn returns to the field where he found the suitcase. The owners of the suitcase were waiting at the field and chased Llewelyn. Luckily, he was able to escape with a few wounds but his greediness to see if there was anything else almost got him killed.

    I don’t consider any of the characters in the film heroic, but I did find Lee Holloway’s character very interesting. She changed from a girl who was shy and boring to this very openly sexual person. No more shyness and all about being dominated by her boss Mr. Grey. She was unstable without being dominated by Mr Grey. As for the worst villain, I give that to Lee’s boss Mr. Grey.…

    Shakespeare and Lewis' characters fall into the category of tragic heroes in that they have tragic flaws that eventually lead to their choosing their downfall with a too late realization and ending the death of their loved ones and even themselves. Tragic flaws make the characters who they are, it is what the authors choose to teach through those lessons that matter. Hamlet's tragic flaw, over thinking, caused him to talk himself into a severe depression calling the world “weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable,” Hamlet's bleak outlook on life is slightly justified, in that, his father is recently dead and his mother has remarried to his uncle (I.ii.137). Shakespeare uses Hamlet's tragic flaw of over thinking to teach the reader that focusing…
