following report is to critically analyse and deconstruct the character of "the Joker" within the film "the Dark Knight" and discuss the reasoning of why this character was interpreted in such a way. The Joker‚ played by late Heath Ledger‚ is a terrifying villain who will stop at nothing to manipulate and corrupt his victims.

Faustus is a man of great scholarship and vast knowledge but with an intrinsic quality—an unquenchable thirst for knowledge that is beyond human whatever he has mastered seems pitifully inadequate: “Yet art thou still but Faustus and a Man.” His soul

Characters Effect on a Reader Characters dealing with a situation affect each reader differently. The characters reaction to a situation may have a reader feel exactly as the character does‚ or in some instances‚ the reader may look more at how differently they would feel in the same situation. In an attempt to answer Henry James on how characters are only as interesting as their response to the particular situation we will look at “The Chrysanthemums” by John Steinbeck and “To Build a Fire”

Everlost‚ by Neal Shusterman is in my opinion a horror. Most of the story took part in everlost a sort of limbo that is halfway between life and death. There are two or maybe three main characters in Everlost depending on how you look at it. They are at least Nick and Allie‚ and maybe Mary. Nick and Allie meet Mary the self proclaimed queen of Everlost‚ and Nick falls in love with Mary and wants to stay. However Allie wants to leave everlost and stars to against warnings from Mary learn the Criminal
