Riddick Character Analysis

706 Words3 Pages

Riddick as a character is bad he has a code of conduct that makes him evil but gives him qualities that some would consider good. Through the movie he has chances to do good things but he considers himself a loner and there for doesn't care about anyone else. At moments he could be described as a psychopath with no emotional grief who likes to see others suffer or at least enjoys messing with people before killing them in horrible and sudden ways. Always one step ahead of his opponent, Riddick constantly shows his prowess as a warrior and often times as a problem solver constantly anticipating his opponents moves . In the movie The Chronicles Of Riddick, Riddick is described by the narrator as a evil of another kind. Starting the movie like this puts the watcher in a state of mind that Riddick is the hero that they universe needs but not wants. As the movie progresses you see Riddick in his natural state running thru snow and wind as he is chased by a hover craft he always seems to be one step ahead of them and when they enter a cavern he kills most of the mans crew. Almost taunting the main bounty hunter. …show more content…

For Riddick to say this is a crack in the hard and un moving man that is described as a monster that feels nothing and cant be killed. As the movie comes to a close, Riddick Is faced with a choice fight or flight. He had the option to run and hide on some far off planet but, he choses to save his friend and stop the main villains. This is why I think Riddick is a hero. However, in most scenes in the movie he has proven that he is not a hero. From killing indiscriminately to outsmarting and leaving people to die he shows that he isn't the hero that everyone wants him to be. One of the points that this is most evident is the scene where to save his friend Kera he kills one of the guards that attacks her when he didn’t have

    In the book, Warriors Don’t Cry, Melba Pattillo Beals brought significant events that are significantly influenced her and the other characters. There are two factors that I feel have significantly influenced Melba and other characters in the book, such as family and community support and racial politics. Family and community support have significantly influenced Melba because in her family, Melba got support from her Grandma India and Mother Lois.

    The hero commits or fails to commit actions that hurt other people. These are characters with moral flaws, and the stories drive toward the moment when the hero uncovers his or her moral blindness. While Ransom Stoddard is depicted as a coward, he attempts to face this in the duel against Liberty Valance. While this would have been the moment Stoddard faces this flaw, it ends up being taken away from him with the help of his “partner in crime” Tom Doniphan. Indeed, Stoddard would have most likely died in that duel if it weren’t for Doniphan’s’ help, Stoddard still ended up being the coward he always was, and ends up being rewarded for it as being elected as the towns representative in Washington,

    The first impression I got from him while reading this graphic novel is how grotesque and outrageous he is to the world. Due to the fact that he often relies on his intuition to determine who lives and who dies. Eventually, I started getting a sense and understanding why he is the way he is and why he deals the way he does with his surroundings. Yet at the end of the story, he tries to tell the truth to the world and be that superhero I do not expect. Clearly because he has not been this type of character throughout the story, so at least I found myself impressed with this outcome.
