kind of fucked up story does the bad guy win? In what kind of story does the victim end up in disbelief that she never got the justice she deserved. That’s when you realize you’re the villain. But no‚ the other person’s not innocent either‚ they’re the villain too. They’re worse than you‚ but you’re still the villain‚ because you let it get this way. Everything’s your fault. And you hate everyone. And you hate yourself. And you hate everything. And your so filled with hate that you just want to end

What makes a hero? Is it muscles? What about intelligence? In fact‚ in early Greek and Middle Eastern cultures‚ muscles and brains had nothing to do in the making of a hero. The definition of heroism means something different to everyone; however‚ the concepts of heroism differ greatly between Greek and Middle Eastern cultures and the modern idea such as the deeds one does and his or her attitude. A hero is a hero whether it be fighting a bloody battle to save all the citizens in the city or it

priorities of many people; but in my childhood the crisis for many people was perennial. In all crises‚ those of before and now‚ there are always a few who have much‚ almost everything or everything and many who have little‚ little or nothing. The heroes and heroines I want to talk about are those men and women‚ fathers and mothers‚ who have belonged or belong to the group of those fighters with scarce resources. I think I am not mistaken if I say that there is nothing worse in life than a war‚ and

In the book Things Fall Apart written by Chinua Achebe Okonkwo is depicted as a hero in many ways‚ however he can also be depicted as a villain. I believe that Okonkwo possesses characteristics of both a hero and a villain. In Things Fall Apart Okonkwo is described as a villain‚ a villian can be described as a cruelly malicious person. These qualities are seen through the qoute “His wives‚ especially the youngest‚ lived in perpetual fear of his fiery temper”. This quote show that he beats

The Medici; Heroes of the Renaissance In the year 2004‚ PBS broadcasted the series‚ “Medici; Godfathers of the Renaissance”. This four-part documentary‚ in attempt to gain viewer interest‚ compared the Medici to the mobsters found in Francis Ford’s “The Godfather”. The relation of the Medici to Italian mobsters in the PBS Medici series is in no way accurate‚ for they were not villains of the renaissance‚ but heroes. The Medici were very connected with the church‚ and used their extensive

We live in a society that loves to know the reasons for the villain’s actions. We want to know at exactly what moment in time this character decided to be “evil.” We want to be able to relate to the villain because we have realized we can no longer relate to the hero. The hero has knowledge unattainable in books‚ the honor only found in gods‚ and nobility that is too hard for us “mere mortals” to obtain. Our society has given up on the idea of the hero. We are all sick of being the mad scientist

Throughout the play‚ The Merchant of Venice‚ Shakespeare cultivates the idea of “Shylock the Jew” being both a villain and a victim each depending on the reader’s interpretation of the play. 16th century Venice was largely Roman Catholic and Christian. I think in correctly interpreting the play‚ we have to take a look at what influences Shakespeare may have had in devising Shylock’s character. In 16th century Europe‚ there was a massive revolt called the Reformation led by Saxon Monk named

Because revenge is unjustified‚ it is easier for Iago to perform evil actions because he is the play’s villain; whereas‚ it is difficult for Hamlet to perform evil actions because he is a protagonist. Shakespeare’s placement of character traits creates a large impact on Iago and Hamlet’s revenge strategies. Because Iago is an antagonist‚ committing evil crimes is what his persona is meant to do. Villains are primarily ones to hold solely evil traits with little room for sympathy or improving one’s mentality
