The Romantic Hero in Pechorin‚ Onegin‚ and the Demon Through examining the works of Lermontov‚ A Hero of Our Time‚ and “The Demon‚” as well as Pushkin’s Eugene Onegin‚ we can see the similarities between Pechorin‚ the Demon‚ and Onegin and how each character embodies the qualities of the romantic hero. A romantic hero is a very contradicting character. For example‚ in the History of Russian Literature by Charles A. Moser‚ he describes the romantic hero as having “the anguish of emptiness; the

Evil Demon vs. Dream In the movie The Matrix the image of Neo waking up introduces us to the main character. The point of such awakening is to put the viewers under the impression that Thomas Anderson is in fact not dreaming‚ and back to the real world. Then‚ after he goes out clubbing‚ he finds himself turning off his alarm‚ waking up again. However‚ no scene in which Neo physically goes to bed exists in the film. Also‚ the movie builds an unreal environment around the main character. After reading
