Christopher Knight

currently. Numerous ancient churches that once housed proud knights are now farms, villages and new communities. The significance of Templar buildings is extremely high. There once was a powerful Organization that prospered in Europe with their Military capability. They were the Knights Templar, a religious union, also one that pledged allegiance to the Pope only. Amongst their members were princes, kings, as well as greater notably, Knights. Masters of trade and commerce, they are acknowledged…

For this essay, I have decided to compare two “bad guys” that audiences always seem to love. One is your classic high school rebel in The Breakfast Club, while the other is Batman’s favorite villian in The Dark Knight. Judd Nelson and Heath Ledger share many similarities in their roles as John and the Joker, however I think the biggest difference between the two actors is the amount of intensity put into their characters. John is a troubled young man, who seems to be mad at the world. Judd…

…….The knight lite of the past…… It was the duty of a Middle Ages Knight to learn how to fight and so serve their liege Lord according to the Code of Chivalry. Under their armor, the knights wore padding to ease the pain of wearing such heavy metal. In the early years, knights wore chainmail. These were metal chains linked together. It took about five years to make body armor out of mail. The covering for their chests and arms weighed between 20 and 30 pounds and sometimes had up to 200,000…

“scarce other than my king’s ideal knight” (I. 7). However, once this connection is established, the list of characteristics which Tennyson attributes to both the fictional King Arthur and the Prince Consort actually serves to prove the deficiencies in the King. For example, despite the claims that Arthur “spake no slander, no, nor listen’d to it” (I. 9), at several points he is actually “vexed at a rumor issued from [Vivien]/ of some corruption among his knights” (VI. 151-152). When Arthur…

Idylls of the King, written by Alfred Lord, Tennyson, is a poem about King Arthur’s knights and his kingdom succumbing to corruption. It is also a tale that elaborates on the famous love triangle blossoming between King Arthur, Guinevere, and Sir Lancelot. Lord, Tennyson wrote his widely famous poem as a social commentary of the industrialized Victorian era and its supposed corruptness versus a time of no industrialization. Alfred Lord, Tennyson uses the power of motifs to describe the immoral…

Batman interrogates joker scene This scene starts with the cop and the joker in a dark room, the only light lighting up the room is the door light and the lamp right where they are sitting. While the cop is listening to the joker speak only half of his face is fully visible due to the lack of light in the room. It then switches to the joker talking and behind him is very dark, only perk of his face is slightly visible, everything else behind him is not. This adds suspense to the scene that…

achieved her last name. However, despite having a daughter together, their allegiance was fleeting. Sanchez then married fellow poet Etheridge Knight and the pair produced twin boys (Gates and Smith 709). Due to the fact Sanchez first corresponded with Knight during his incarceration, and that Knight was a “drug addict, committing crimes to support his habit” ("Knight, Etheridge (1931-1991), An Introduction to." 36) , it should be no surprise that their “marriage ended in an uneasy alliance”…

reading The Odyssey Book 5-8, it came to my attention that the modern world of today and the classical myths of the past have somewhat different beliefs on what a trickster is all about. The current myth I am going to use come from the movie The Dark Knight(2008), where we are introduced to a trickster known as the Joker. The Joker is a villain who dresses up as a clown and commits crimes. In addition to being a villain he is also consider a criminal mastermind due to his ingenuity when it comes…

Common weaponry during Medieval Times Clashing swords, flaming ballistae, gleaming armour, all images of battling knights riding in to save the damsel in distress. We all have an image of a knight engrained in our heads. Silver helmets, large sword, shield with an intricate crest emblazoned on it. These were all commonly used in thee times, but there was so much more to medieval weaponry than just a sword and shield. The weapons used were diverse and sophisticated and set a precedent for some…

The Dark Knight is the story of the infamous “Batman” and his iconic rival the “Joker” in which the two fight for the power over the city. The Joker’s character is described as a “sociopathic, killing clown” because his actions and his scars have such an impact on anyone he crosses. Both roles are classified as incognito. Mysteries consume the ones who watch this film as to what is the actual story behind the scars? Or was the joker actually an unethical hero? And especially the most asked, what…
