Dark side

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.

romantic, however, that is not completely accurate. Dark Romanticism is not colorful and romantic; it is more dark, supernatural, and mysterious. The setting of short stories in the Romanticism period often involved the use of nature. Nature helps to capture the feelings and thoughts of the reader. Nature opens up individual’s minds to imagination, which became a source of creativity and gave an artistic vision to writers. Romanticism differs from Dark Romanticism by the setting of the story;…

As time goes on, our conceptions of the past tend to be distorted. This happens through many ways, such as misinterpretations of history, historical documents, and stories of the past. This is evident in nearly every book we studied, from Godric to The Wolf Hunt, to Inventing the Flat Earth. In this paper, I will show that no matter how hard a writer tries to stay true to the times of their novel, it is impossible to stay completely accurate to the time. This is because our modern views and…
