False protagonist

Rejects, outcasts, immigrants, outsiders, others. An other is described as someone who is disturbingly or threateningly different. People forget about them, ignore them and walk all over them. As stated in the Bible, “And he will be a wild man. His hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren” (Genesis 16:12). The Bible describes an other as someone who lives in the presence of people but he is against them and they are…

Let me tell you about Homestuck “Homestuck; The tale of a boy and his friends and the game they play together.” Is the official summary of the webcomic Homestuck as said by its creator, Andrew Hussie. Just this explanation of the comic, while accurate is barely enough information for a new reader. The comic consisting of now over 9,000 pages, has intense plots, multiple climaxes and over 165 characters. In Homestuck one is able to empathize with fictional characters, fall in love with stories,…

Chapter 1 every Trip is a Quest (Except When It 's not) Summary: Foster discusses the idea that though many details are different, every quest has the similar archetype or makeup. There is always a protagonist on a quest, a place they must go, a stated reason to go to their location, and challenges and trials they encounter on their way. Also, Foster states the reason any quest truly occurs is self-knowledge. This is proven by the fact people who go on quests are young, showing they have an…

In the play Antigone, the women are portrayed as weak, they have little to no power, and whilst the beginning of the play suggests that it is only women who are inferior, the sexism starts to change into all people below the royals. Although it is true that women throughout all hierarchy, age and connections, are treated as unequal, the play seems to detour focus off of the inferiority of the women, and focuses it more on the inferiority on anyone below King Creon and his family. The moral of…

Father Terrier change completely after this moment in the novel. He went from being a caring, fatherly figure, to an insensitive, cold-hearted person. This example reiterates my original claim by proving to the readers that Father Terrier was given a false identity from the author which slowly changed the reader 's perception by disclosing information about him. Süskind conveys this idea of multi perception to help the reader formulate their own thought and opinion before jumping to…

Two-Man Luge, without a question, is a fairy tale! Claire Battershill’s “Two-Man Luge” displays strong evidence towards the famously known fairy tale, Cinderella. Two-Man Luge possesses a similar structure and several factors that give readers’ thoughts just as fairy tales would, like the famous “happily ever after”. Throughout the centuries Fairy Tales have provided a specific design for authors to follow and for audiences to react. “Two-Man Luge” is an unintentional Fairy Tale that does just…

chance of solving the mystery before the protagonist does. In addition, the end solution of the mystery is disappointing to both the reader and to the protagonist. This allows it to end on a very realistic and mundane note, which is certainly not the emotions the reader feels when learning Christopher’s father killed Wellington. Both the The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close portray a child protagonist with an autism spectrum disorder. These…

Meursaut: A simply careless character There are two types of completely opposite characters that can be represented throughout a novel; static and dynamic characters. All characters in a story fall within this range. A static character is simply described as someone who does not undergo an important change in the course of a story. Throughout a compelling story, the character would remain the same even though they may experience life changes. The static characters do not experience a change of…

The film Shoot the Piano Player (1960), starts with scene of a moving piano that develops a happy mood for the film. The piano plays a significant part for the film, since it’s the first thing that viewers are going to remember about the film. Then there is a shift in sound from the music to the sound of a person running that creates a dramatic effect, because the scene is completely dark with only the headlights from the car to guide the viewers through the setting of the scene. In the opening…
