The Final Girl In Sam Raimi's Evil Dead
To start with, Caroll defines the “final girl” as someone who witnessed the events of the slasher happen and is the chosen one to carry that burden with them throughout their lives. Halloween’s (1978) Laurie Strode ( who after her apparent demise in Halloween II (1981), came back in Halloween: H2O (1998), and shown to be an alcoholic after all these years because she carries the burden of her brother’s deeds with her) is a really good example of this, as is Nancy from Wes Craven’s A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984). However, when examining the Sam Raimi 's Evil Dead franchise, one cannot but notice that Ash fits this mold as well, and in fact the entire Evil Dead franchise is built around this notion, almost literally. In the original Evil Dead (1982) the story revolves around a group of friends who go to a cabin in the woods, and due to an ancient curse, demons start possessing the teenagers and killing them off one by one. Ash is the only survivor, which leads into Evil Dead II (1986). However, in Army of Darkness (1992), Ash finds himself in ancient times faced with the choice of destroying the necrocomiccon when it was originally created, and therefore can save his friends and therefore what happened at the cabin never happens. His intentions of doing this is because he carries the burden of what happened in the first film with him and knows that he can prevent them. In a twist however, he tries and messes up three times and it …show more content…

Abigail Williams The Villain
154 Words | 1 PagesI disagree with Winona Ryder when she says Abigail Williams isn't the villain of “The Crucible.” To begin with, she is the villain because she does everything for herself and would sacrifice someone else quickly and it wouldn't affect her. Specifically because she lied about John Proctor’s wife to try and get John. Abigail lying on John’s wife makes her seem bad because Elizabeth got her in trouble and got John executed to try and get John to like her. Another, reason I believe that is she threatened the girls lives if they spoke about them dancing in the woods.

Lady Macbeth: Victim Or Monster
1213 Words | 5 PagesLady Macbeth: Victim or Monster Lady Macbeth is an extremely unusual character as she is by far, the most complex and domineering female role in all of Shakespeare’s plays. She first appears in the play, plotting the king’s murder but the audience last sees her sleepwalking and drowned in guilt. This suggests that Shakespeare portrays her as a character who cannot be classified as any of the two categories (as a victim or as a monster), but rather as an ambitious woman prepared to go any lengths to achieve what- she believes- she and her husband deserve, but could not handle the consequences of her actions in the end. Lady Macbeth is depicted by Shakespeare as a lady filled with her dangerous desires, in Act 1 Scene 5; after reading Macbeth’s
