Poseidon Vs Joker

Have you ever done something good and something bad happened as a result or done something bad and something good happen as a result? This happens many times throughout life as well as in movies and books. Two epitomes of this occurring are in Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar” and in the movie The Dark Knight. In “Julius Caesar” Caesar says and does things for the good of Rome yet is taken the wrong way and seen as a villain, resulting in his tragic death of being stabbed numerous by his closest friends.

Batman and the Joker is a modern example of the most classic literary element of all time - the conflict between a hero and a villain. Almost every piece of literature includes these counterparts that display the author’s views of good and evil. In the Medieval Era, this concept was no different. In the anonymously written epic of Beowulf, heroes and villains are portrayed similarly to Shakespeare’s play Henry V- as war heroes and their opponents. In The Inferno, Dante Alighieri took a more spiritual view on the hero and villain, while Geoffrey Chaucer in The Canterbury Tales portrays the hero simply as one who outsmarts his opponent.

The best villain that I know of is the Shadow man or as some know him Dr. Facilier. The shadow man is from the movie “The Princess In The Frog”. The shadow man turned prince Navine into a frog so that the shadows could rule New Orleans. The fake Navine, who was his non loyal servant, took his place to marry Lottie. The shadow man also messes with people's fate like prince Navine.

Charles Frazier’s Cold Mountain has a parallel plot as Homer’s Odyssey. Though Charles Frazier wrote Cold Mountain centuries after Homer wrote Odyssey, many of the characters have similar roles, such as Poseidon and the Home Guard. Poseidon from Odyssey and the Home Guard from Cold Mountain resemble each other because they both patrol a wide range of territory, prolong the protagonist’s journey, and act as the protagonist’s main enemy. Poseidon and the Home Guard both patrol most of the territory the protagonist traverses across. In Odyssey, Odysseus travels from Troy to Ithaca mainly by water, which Poseidon controls.

Poseidon married the sea goddess Amphitrite. They had many children like the merman Triton, the Nymphs Rhode and Benthesicyme and the twin giants Otus and Ephialtes. He was bad-tempered with a moody that can change every minute. He was also considered the greediest god among all the Olympians’ gods and always seek for revenge once insulted. For example, he cruelly blinded the son of Odysseus for insulting

Villains are a vital part to stories. Without a villain in the story there could be no story. Villains cause conflict; Without conflict you can 't even write a story. I have plenty of villains I like but none compare to my favorite.

The villain archetype is one of my favorite parts of any story. The villain, to me, is the most important part of a story. If the villain, or antagonist, of a story is poorly done, then the entire story falls flat. The villain creates the conflict, and conflict is what separates a good story, from a great one. There are the villains made from tragedy, others are made from traumatic childhoods, and others are just evil to be evil.

The villain I chose was, The Grinch. I chose this evil villain because the Grinch is miserable and hates anyone who is happy so the Grinch attempts to take happiness away. A villain is a character whose actions are responsible for, specified trouble , harm, or damage. The Grinch is a evil character in, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. This revenge-seeking green creature goes out of his way to "steal" Christmas from the people of Whoville.

Arrogant Odysseus Ever since the dawn of humanity, one of the most prominent problems of heroes has been their arrogance. Characters whose downfall was set in motion by hubris include Victor from Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein, Satan from John Milton’s Paradise Lost, and King Oedipus in the Greek tragedy Oedipus Rex. Even Odysseus, thought of by some as the greatest soldier of all time, struggles with his ego and arrogant manner in both Homer’s epic depiction and Andrei Konchalovsky’s movie portrayal of Odysseus. However, Odysseus proves to be much more conceited in the film than in the original epic tale.

I both agree and disagree with Nenia Campbell’s statement. “We always vilify with what we don’t understand” (Nenia Campbell). The part in the statement that I do not agree with is the word ‘always’. I do agree that we often vilify what we do not understand, but not always. Take for example a soldier.

In the novel, Jasper Jones, Craig Silvey used a vast range of language and textual features including Symbolism, Allusion, Connotation, Similes and word choice. This is done to construct the character of Charlie as someone that opposes the social norms in the town and supports his close friend, Jasper who is judged and victimised by his race and family history. The town’s people of Corrigan all follow the same path or social norms, that were apparent in the 1960’s and what teenagers should learn, is that you should not let your peers dictate your beliefs and values, making your own choices, like Charlie. When Jasper comes knocking at Charlies window, the audience is lead to believe that Charlie has been given a chance to be reborn and portray

The Greeks are known for constructing tales of great heroes who accomplish what seems to be impossible feats. Two of the most well known of these heroes are the protagonist of Homer’s novel the Odyssey, Odysseus King of Ithaca and the mighty demigod hero Hercules son of Zeus. These two characters are like an orange and tangerine. That is due to both of them having a plethora of similarities as well as differences ranging from traits, to accomplishments, and history. What makes a hero isn't there powers, but rather the path they have chosen to guide their actions.
