This just shows the dangerous side of the human being: of how a person is rather excited about the thought of getting into battle and things that he would normally have found repulsive and cruel to the point of being reckless about his own safety. When doing the same things over and over, it becomes routine, and you can trick yourself into feeling indifferent. “His face was the face of a student – thin and ascetic, but his eyes had the cold gleam of the fanatic. They were deep and thoughtful, the eyes of a man who is used to looking at death”. (Line 7-10, page 1) He is just a normal young man although he is a fighter in the civil war.

Hardly anyone seemed to notice him” (pg. 240 online).This description could have been dwindled down to just talk about the fact that there was a dead body, but instead Amir goes into great detail to describe and paint a picture of what the body looked like.

While he is blindsighted by the cruelty of those in war, he soon acknowledges this new reality, and in doing so, takes his own life. By joining the military, Rodwell knowingly submitted himself to situations that would almost certainly compromise his own happiness. It is not until he sees men in the trenches killing for pleasure as opposed to necessity that he is driven beyond the point of no return, alluding to the true nature of his character as an individual who places the happiness of others, including animals, above his own interests. In direct opposition of Rodwell, another important character, Barbara d’Orsey, acts in a manner that places her own needs above those of others around her.

The war happening outside Devon represents the external and internal conflicts between the characters. An example is Gene’s inner conflict with jealousy when he says, “I was beginning to see that Phineas could get away with anything.

Odysseus is perceived as the most cunning of men due to the many tales about him in the Trojan wars. This image of cunning continues to show at times during his early challenges; in these challenges Odysseus gradually proceeds to display his shortcomings. Once a trial becomes personal towards him, he neglects his cunning and becomes a spineless revenge seeker.

While his men were being caged by the Cyclops, Odysseus re-introduces his cunning nature with the strategic plan he devised in order to free his men.

In his review of “Kingsman”, Peter Debruge said the film “brings the irreverence back to the British spy genre, offering a younger, streetwise variation on the 007 formula while gleefully pushing audiences’ favorite elements – sartorial taste, killer toys, and cracked out supervillains – to hyperbolic extremes” (Debruge, 2015) which are aspects that help create all the campy humor seen in the film. Director Michael Vaughn wanted this film to be modernly irreverent and fun through its campiness just like the classic Bond films throughout the 60’s and 80’s. Both the old James Bond films and “Kingsman” make light of the spy genre they fit into and make it fun without too much seriousness. The Kingsman agents and their gadgets are a direct call to the days of classic Bond.
