Villain

Every movie seems to have a hero and every book seems to have a villain. According to the archetype notes these are archetypes (the hero, the villain, the mentor ), a hero starts in the everyday world, he receives a call to adventure, then a mentor appears when he enters the special world to guide him into his newfound abilities; later on, he fights a series of lesser bad guys to test his skill until finally he faces the villain. He seems to fail, but then he comes back, overthrowing the reign…

colors. Colloquially, the colors yellow and red are associated with caution and stopping. This is ironic is considering that the superpowers of the hero and villain are super speed. Figuratively, the use of color suggests that red represent The Flash’s strict moral reservations. This is coupled with the theory that the yellow colors of the villain would suggest ambiguous moral reservations. If you have accepted these premises, then it is not nonsensical to draw the conclusion that the color…

Maiden, Hero and the Villain. Even though from a feminist lense it seems more equal than most fairytale stories it still fails to pass the Bechdel Test. In the story, Shrek is a nasty ogre whom everyone dislikes and sees as a villain, but as the story goes on the viewer begins to see him as the hero. He does not seem like a hero because he is ugly and seems to dislike everyone whom he comes across. The typical hero is usually strong, handsome, and muscular, but not even the villain is…

In 2004 Paramount Pictures and DreamWorks Pictures teamed up to produce Lemony Snicket’s A series of Unfortunate Events. This movie’s main villain, Count Olaf, is a fairly good representation of an ideal human villain. Even though Olaf has little to no relatable qualities in the beginning of the movie, he immediately comes across as a comic relief type character with a flair for the dramatic. Though it might have been nice to see more of his character, he was good enough to keep the audience…

poems and archetypes are a substantial part of literature. An archetype may be a character, a theme, a symbol, or even setting. The Odyssey by Homer is an archetype because it contains an archetypal journey, an archetypal hero, and an archetypal villain. Odysseus is an archetypal hero. An archetypal hero can be seen as someone who is heroic. Archetypal heroes are usually strong, brave, and willing to take a risk. Odysseus is an archetypal hero because he is very clever and has the ability to see…

For years, many TV shows have been focusing on the conflict between the hero and the villain. Moreover, people have been enjoying this plot where the hero win over the villain and save the situation. TV shows creators are becoming more creative when creating their characters, that it might require more thinking from the viewers to actually realize who is who. Homeland is a TV that is trying to tell the viewers that any terrorism act might be predicted and possibly stopped. At the beginning of…

Have you ever slain a Jabberwock? Chopped down a Truffula tree and seen a Lorax? These are just some of the things seen in the 2 wonderful stories by Dr. Seuss and Lewis Carroll, in some poems very alike each other. In fact, these two childhood stories are so similar you could write a whole essay on them, like I’m about to do. Although the Jabberwock and the Once-ler are very different, there are some key similarities between them. Both of them come trodding into the forest, and are seen as evil…

A hero is brave, has courage, and honest. A hero is someone that is willing to put his or her life at risk in order to help others. A Hero is also someone that is willing to go through hell in order for his or her loved ones to keep moving on. For example a police officer is someone that on a daily basis puts his or her life at risk. They risk leaving their family alone if they were to die. Its things like this that makes a hero. Another example is a mother that doesn't eat just so that her kids…

Tolkien A common theme in the fantasy genre is the battle between good and evil, although Martin deliberately defied the conventions and assumptions of neo-Tolkienian Fantasy. Whereas The Lord of The Rings has succeeded in externalizing villains through ugliness, dark clothing, Martin felt that Tolkien's oversimplified the struggle between good and evil into stereotypical clichés. William Faulkner's 1950 Nobel Prize speech rather serves as a paradigm for Martin's writing; Faulkner said that…

mimsy, gyre and gimble, and slithy to get the point over that the Jabberwocky is a scary creature that is feared by many people. In both stories the authors use unique words to get the point over that the creature or villain in the story is unwelcoming and Maleficent. The evil villain in both…
