28-29). On the negative side, he had misspelled it; instead of villain, the tattoo read villian. Apparently the fates have him in their sights, because ironically, later on he meets a girl who is named Villian. As of this moment, the author’s purpose or message escapes my grasp. The scene entitled “They Fell”, also leaves me with puzzled state of mind. Basically it is about two guys who realize…

More specifically Hughson looks to not only highlight just how they arose but how they were regarded by both Colonists and British authorities, how they affected the…
Zero or Hero (Is Frankenstein a Hero?) There heros and villians in this world. They are not as obvious as in the comics. If they were, then life would be much easier, that’s for sure. Unfortunately, life is not cut and dry like that. Everybody is a hero to someone and a villain to someone else. That brings up the question of if Frankenstein is a hero? In all reality, Mary Shelley didn’t make Frankenstein’s monster a hero or villain, instead he was simply a child that had to grow up too fast.…

catching Gatsby and Daisy in an affair (as they both find true love). By the end of the novel, Gatsby is murdered, by partly Tom's fault, and Daisy is left without her true love. If we judge this story by common sense, we can see that Tom was the "villian" and Gatsby was the "hero", as Gatsby was shown as a man finding true love, and Tom, as a cunning sociopath. But under the rules of consequentialism, Gatsby was the "bad guy," as although his intention was extremely altruistic, he technically…

Gloucester believed Edmund lies and even said, “this villain of mine comes under the prediction of mine: there’s son against father” (1, 2, 112-117) Gloucester saying this showed how he believed that Edgar was the villian and wanted to kill him. The fact that Edmund would frame his own brother for the chance to gain power shows his corruption, and that he will do anything to have more…
