Bruce Wayne: A Hero Or Hero?

324 Words2 Pages

Comic books have served as a form of entertainment depicting the lives of dressed up individuals patrolling the streets and protecting society. Upon further inspection, one may realize that some of these so called superheroes have unreasonable morals and their attempts to take the law into their own hands could be detrimental not to just themselves but to the people they are trying to protect as well. There are many heroes, better referred to as vigilantes, that could be used to elaborate on the many dangers they impose, but Batman is the most qualified due to his circumstances. The fictional character Bruce Wayne, perhaps better known by his alter-ego Batman, is known for being a hero who holds himself above the limitations of authority.

To keep Gotham citizens unaware that Batman is Bruce Wayne, Bruce wears a bat-suit which is a dark outfit that includes a night bat-like mask while fighting crime. To further conceal his identity from the world, Bruce gave his real name an alter-ego that has the personality of a wealthy playboy while he acts out his true identity as Batman. Thus, Batman is unable to maintain a romantic relationship with anyone due to intimacy and his alter-ego, regardless if Batman wants a love life or not.

    John Proctor: An Everyday Hero Heroism does not only involve people such as Batman and Superman. Heroes can be everyday people that stand up for others or act in courageous ways. A good example of this idea comes from Arthur Miller’s play, The Crucible, where accusations of witchcraft lead to Witch Trials in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692, and ultimately the deaths of several innocent people. The main character, John Proctor, has a history he is not very proud of, as he committed adultery with a young girl named Abigail Williams. Despite this, he stands up for people in the play who cannot do it themselves, while characters like Abigail and Judge Danforth are against him.
