    Villain Archetypes

    Both Ms. Strangeworth from “The Possibility of Evil” and Captain Torres from “Lather and Nothing Else” represent the villain archetype; however, Miss Strangeworth better represents it because she enjoys the evil she causes, whereas Captain Torres does not. First of all, the roles of the characters are shown as villains throughout both of the stories. In the case of Miss Strangeworth, it is when she sends her malicious messages to the town without regard for their feelings (Jackson 5). Meanwhile, Captain Torres is revealed as the villain when the barber remembers “...the sight of the mutilated bodies kept me from noticing the man who had directed it all” (Tellez 1) about the captain. The two of them do horrible things to their respective towns; Miss Strangeworth, by sending her…

In this day and age there are many people willing to fight for their dreams and achieve them in any way possible, even if it is through criminal actions.

    How Michael Jackson Made Bad Summary

    “How Michael Jackson Made ‘Bad’ written by Joseph Vogel, an author, and popular culture critic, speaks on Michael Jackson Bad era through the media and himself. The media increasingly viciously attacked Michael Jackson through the tabloids labeling him with the term “ Wacko Jacko”. This term derived from “Jacko Macacco” which was the name of a famous monkey which was a popular term in 1950 to describe children toys in Great Britain. This term reduces Michael Jackson as a human being and as an artist but turns into an amusement for tabloids and media to refer to him as “Jacko”. Jackson shields himself from media from 1985 to 1987 to write and record his music which is where the bad sessions were born. In Michael short film, “Leave Me Alone”…

    Response to Peter Singer

    Everyday wealthy and middle class Americans across the country spend money on luxury items such as: flat screen televisions, laptop computers, digital cameras, fancy cars, and smart phones. At the same time, across the globe in poverty stricken countries, people and children are living in destitution. Many of these people lack a basic human need which commonly includes nutrition, healthcare, education, clothing, shelter, and clean water. Peter Singer, author of 'The Singer Solution to World Poverty', suggests that all Americans that are financially stable to donate should be donating all their non-essential money to the needy people across the globe. This seems like the morally right thing to do, however Singers argument overlooks many factors in his bias, and leaves to many questions unanswered to make his essay true or reasonable to any extent. Is it morally right to make a hardworking American give up all luxuries to the needy people they will never meet? Of course, Americans should feel the need to donate to the needy people of our world. Although the amount they donate should be entirely up to them.…

    Frankenstein By Mary Shelley: Hero Vs. Villain

    Frankenstein By Mary Shelley: Hero Vs. Villain

    Villain" is a theme constantly brought up in cartoons, novels, stories, and has existed ever since the beginning of time. From Homer's the Odyssey to Ursula Le Guin's A Wizard of Earthsea, there is not one story on this planet without a hero and a villain. Frankenstein emulates the blurred distinctions between the two, when a well-meaning, misunderstood monster and a happy-gone depressed scientist in Italy trade roles multiple times within the story. M. Frankenstein, a scientist and natural philosopher creates an eight-foot tall being (implied to be made of body parts of random corpses in the movies), that gets loose and upon seeing the world, discovers the coldness of humanity. After learning to speak and read, the creature finds a portion of M. Frankenstein's diary written during the process of creating the ogre. The creature (who we will call Prometheus2 from now on) in its fury at the harshness of human nature murders two people whom are family to Frankenstein due to the fact that Frankenstein created him. Later on these two characters completely reverse roles in that Frankenstein becomes the one obsessed with revenge like Prometheus2 once was. This change in character is something that should be studied and explored because of its relevance in terms of moral behavior, and human…

    Lautreamont: The Morality Of Evil

    Evilness by definition is wrongdoing described as being harmful, cruel, immoral, crime, and much more, so the question then remains as to how something evil it can also be good. Lautreamont constantly reflects on the idea that the morality of evil and how that can lead to suffering is both subjective and objective, which is ambiguous. What is considered a morally wrong action or value may to another be accepted or appreciated. In fact, it appears to be more of a matter of perspective on how the evilness is causing suffering or a relief from suffering to each individual involved. For instance, Maldoror could be considered evil when he decides to kill the worm that preaches about the morality of killing Prostitution, but at the same time…

    The protagonist of Things Fall Apart, Okonkwo is also considered a tragic hero. A tragic hero holds a position of power and prestige, chooses his course of action, possesses a tragic flaw, and gains awareness of circumstances that lead to his fall. Okonkwo 's tragic flaw is his fear of weakness and failure. Throughout his life, he wages a never ending battle for status; his life is dominated by the fear of weakness and failure. He is quick to anger, especially when dealing with men who are weak, lazy debtors like his father. However, Okonkwo overcompensates for his father 's womanly (weak) ways, of which he is ashamed, because he does not tolerate idleness or gentleness. Even though he feels inward affection at times, he never portrays affection toward anyone. Instead, he isolates himself by exhibiting anger through violent, stubborn, irrational behavior.

    Weirdo: the Weirdos and Mere Simple Self-expression

    Good afternoon everyone. My topic is how to be a weirdo. But before that, let me tell you what a weirdo is first. Coming from the word weird which means "strange," a weirdo is a person who is extraordinarily strange and does things that are not usual to other people. May it be a mere simple self-expression or in doing the conventional, day to day activities, a weirdo may still have a unique way of doing such things. The concept of a weirdo is determined by a matter of perspective. A weirdo to you may not be weirdo to other people and the weirdo may see himself as not the weirdo but the people around him or her. It just depends on how the people around him or her see and accepts his or her being.…
