At this moment Winston does not come out as a hero or sound like one; Orwell shoes that Winston is only human and does not want to be killed. That is what makes him a hero.

Mary Magdalene was possessed by demons, and thanks to Jesus’ help she was freed from the…

Because of this I would if offered the chance to play the role of a hero or a villain in a movie I would have an inclination to be the villain. To expand on this I would have an inclination to be a super villain. The villain always has the most memorable lines, diegesis, and exquisite costuming; therefore I'd rather play a character that is intriguing rather than one that is morally…
