I struggled to find a technique that would

What is the significance of being a hero? In Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns‚ I would like to address the theme of rebirth and its relevance to Batman. Batman’s rebirth can be seen through‚ his physical changes‚ superhero power struggle‚ and his death. Batman’s rebirth is witnessed by his initial physical changes. For example‚ Alfred points out‚ “Master Bruce. Whatever happened to your moustache” (20‚ 7).This physical change is what hints at a different stage or “rebirth” in Bruce Wayne

The main conflicts in the world of The Dark Knight Returns revolve around escalating crime in Gotham city and forces of the authority attempting to control it. The authority should be a moral force and represent justice. The figures that represent the authority should be selfless and work only to promote the integrity of law and order. Authority proves to be contradictory in Miller’s novel as the authoritative figures express qualities of vigilantism and overall moral ambiguity. The first example

“naturalistic reading” in which a reader’s imagination tries to see the logical or realistic versions of events (250). For example‚ he believed when Arthur swung the axe around‚ he was not simply testing the weight‚ but actually attempting to behead the Green Knight (Pearsall 251). The situationwas slightly odd that polite Arthur would try to attack the intruder‚ and a reader looking for the logical events likely missed the fact. After Arthur’s attempt‚ Gawain spoke up‚ but why did he make a speech about the

white knight of Gotham‚ district attorney Harvey Dent. A pawn in the Joker’s game‚ he loses his fiancé and half his face in an orchestrated explosion. Dent‚ the once heroic emblem of justice‚ is perverted by a demented individual to his ultimate physical and ethical demise‚ culminating in a homicidal rampage and eventual death. As Dent himself articulates‚ “[y]ou either die a hero‚ or live long enough to see yourself become the villain” (Nolan). Harvey Dent in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight is

the discussion in Unit two‚ my group and I gave a definition of an heroic epic of literature is a brave and noble character in an epic poem‚ admired for great achievements or affected by events.

After reading the work‚ He showed all those traits mostly at the beginning to Hrothgar. "Beowulf‚ my friend‚ you have traveled here to favor us

Popular culture is a curious thing. In a society where writers spend vast amounts of time and energy exploring the character complexities of criminals‚ portrayals of correctional officers are almost consistently unflattering and one-dimensional. Correctional officers are almost always portrayed as bad guys. They are depicted as inherently sadistic and mindlessly authoritarian‚ as one-dimensional characters without redeeming qualities. This inaccurate and unsympathetic image of the guard is

What qualifies a super hero as a superhero? A dark stormy night‚ a vat of acid‚ a radioactive spider‚ or maybe just a bunch of high-tech gadgets that a rich person bought to make himself cool.

Batman and Ironman are two very similar superheroes’‚ their gadgets‚ how they act in public‚ their enemies‚ how they each became superheroes‚ and their actual identities will be compared in this essay
