Natasha Romanova Characteristics
The Black Widow
Natasha Romanova, better known as the Black Widow, was born in Stalingrad, Russia , and is said to be a descendant of the Russian Royal family. She is a former ballerina, and she once tried to leave behind her life of fighting to become a fashion designer but failed (Black Widow Natasha, 2015 para.8). She was trained at a young age by the hero, the Wolverine, where she learned how to become an expert spy, athlete, and assassin. The Black Widow is a heroine because she has at least four of the qualities of a hero. One reason that the Black Widow is a heroine is that she is supernatural. This is proven because the government slowed her aging by putting her through treatments, which would not happen to an everyday person.

One of these weapons is a bracelet that shoots out the “widow’s line” and the “widow’s bite” which releases electric bolts. She has gloves that have suction cups, which help her to easily climb up and down buildings. She also has a belt that contains plastic explosives , she uses these weapons in battles against her enemies. (Black Widow, 2013 para.10). Another characteristic that qualifies her as heroine is that she goes on adventures and quests. According to the website “Comic Vine,” some of the quests she goes on are against evil forces like: the Masters of Evil, Gray Gargoyle, and many other evil groups. (Black Widow, 2015 Para. 8). Another adventure or quest she went on was that she was once brainwashed into fighting her allies the Avengers and then she was captured by General Yuri Brushov (Black Widow, 2015 Para. 5). Finally, the last characteristic that qualifies the Black Widow as a heroine is that she has fatal flaws. One of these fatal flaws is that she manipulated people into doing evil tasks for her. An example of this is when she manipulated Hawkeye, a fellow hero, into stealing plans from Tony Stark, better known as Iron Man (Follow the history, 2015, para. 1). Another flaw is that she used to be a villain , and sometimes that trait still shows when she goes on certain missions because she makes evil decisions at

Heroes, are usually written in a way to put them in a more likeable and relatable light, to make the reader feel more attached to them, to want to be more like them. Villains, on the other hand, are more often than not , written in a way to have you feel more hatred or dislike towards them, rarely are they put in a sympathetic or understandable light. This is probably done to not make the reader feel like they’re an evil or bad person, which is why any relatable negative are usually push on heroes to make them more human and or relatable.

    What is it to be a hero / heroine? Is it just a matter of goodness? Is it possible for someone whose character is flawed – or suddenly revealed to be flawed - to still retain this status? Geraldine Brooks’ novel, ‘Year of Wonders’ leaves us with such questions and reminds us that these are complex considerations. A ‘hero’ (or ‘heroine’) can be defined as, “a person who is greatly admired for their noble actions and nobility of spirit”. In terms of ‘Year of Wonders’, we can flesh this out more clearly – those we deem ‘heroic’ are seen as such because of their selfless devotion to the welfare of others. They serve others without…

    Film Noir Analysis

    In Chinatown, she is the widow of a murdered city official with a secret she is keeping from the rest of the word. In The Maltese Falcon, perhaps the most widely known detective film noir, she is the woman at the heart of a missing person’s case that keeps the audience guessing through the entire running time. As defined by the website Film Noir Studies, “she refuses to play the role of devoted wife and loving mother that mainstream society prescribes for women. She finds marriage to be confining, loveless, sexless, and dull, and she uses all of her cunning and sexual attractiveness to gain her independence” (Bayer.) This in itself may be part of the reason why we don’t see her as the hero of film noir. She is a character that contains traits that are traditionally rejected in women. Even with her all-around dynamism, she is often seen just as the sidekick to the detective or his one-dimensional…

    The main points discussed are the reason behind good people doing bad things, dehumanization, heroes and the effect of institutional power. The author was arguing that a person cannot quite literally be sweet, if they are surrounded by a sour environment. The strengths possessed in this article were that dehumanization is a very real notion as well as the fact that people change with the induction of anonymity. The weakness that is portrayed is that there are heroes around when in fact, yes they are around, but they are a quickly dying breed. My conclusion is that by uniting everyone and seeing each other as another human life regardless of being anonymous or not that maybe experiments like the Stanford experiment might not have needed to be done.…

    Example Of Heroism Essay

    Heroes have three main traits: enough guts to ignore those who have a problem with their goals and the way they are living their life, devotion to their cause, and benevolence towards everyone, no matter what. They do their best to be brave, courageous, and have spirit; in one word, gutsy. Even though many people didn’t support her and called her a witch, Joan of Arc had the bravery and strength to continue fighting for her cause. She used her courage and spirit to ignore negative opinions from the people around her. Heroes are devoted to their cause, and are persistent in trying to reach their goals, especially through hard times. An example is Penelope, wife of Odysseus. He went away to fight in a war, and didn’t come back. “Everyone by now took for granted that he was dead, except Penelope, his wife…the hope that her husband would return was faint, but it never died.” (Mythology, Edith Hamilton.) Penelope waited twenty…

    The evolution of Worker’s Compensation has been around for centuries. Some people trace Worker’s Compensation all the way back to piracy and ancient Sumer. Ancient Sumer is the first urban civilization in southern Mesopotamia and also known as present-day Iraq. Worker’s Compensation is dated all the way back to around 2050 B.C. During this time the first government system, Xia Dynasty, began in China and the start of the Middle Kingdom began in Egypt. Along with the Ancient Greeks, Romans and Chinese, they used a type of “schedule” that categorizes specific injuries with the monetary compensation of that injury. During the Industrial Revolution of the 18th and 19th century is when we start to see Worker’s Compensation develop and cultivate.…
