Antihero Research Paper

Question: Is it ever appropriate for state and federal governments to impose an intervention for the betterment of society? If so, when and under what circumstances?

A hero is someone admired for their courage, achievements, and/or idealized qualities, however; a movie can also portray an anti-hero. An anti-hero is a central character in which lacks conventional heroic characteristics. In every movie, book, or in reality every hero has their ups and downs. Many people undergo many hardships to become a hero. There are many stages a hero has to overcome such as: Separation, Initiation, and Return.

Antiheros are very much like heroes because they have the same motives as them, but they differ because they will do anything to get what they want, no matter what is in their way. When Oliver Queen says (“Morya Queen you have failed this city”1:35) this is where he has to make a decision when taking out the others in the room, he has to deal with his mom but during her interrogation, she shoots him in the shoulder which sends us back with a flashback to his time on Lian u where he is trained by Slade Wilson to take control of the plain that brings good to the

Number Fourteen: He Was Once a Villain. If you know anything about Deadpool, than you probably already know this fact. However, if you are just a fan that's getting excited for this month's film, then perhaps this may shock you. He's now your everyday antihero, but when Marvel first introduced him to the public in the early 90's, he was advertised as being very lethal.

This chapter offers a higher level of education. From the high school student, college student to a part of Teacher Corps, and now Mike Rose works for EOP, becomes a tutor in UCLA. Throughout this chapter, I can see the view of education of the author changes time by time. He is now facing with the highly successful students and the main problem here is how unprepared they are. Actually, I used to have that problem, it is not easy to integrate into new environment. In addition, I was struggled and stressed so much when I got really bad result in the first few tests in the first year in high school even I kept asking question and memorizing the whole lecture but now, I understand the problem was all about the study styles. Besides, I find out

Their personal tendencies reflect anger and an untouchable attitude. They are required to upset the balance, immerse themselves into situations, and are portrayed as protagonists in literature realism. Kesey has exhibited McMurphy with flaws and realistic features. Anti- heroes wear their scars, and have many imperfections not only on the surface but also beneath. McMurphy’s visible scars show he has not lived a perfect life, immediately it is detectable he is not one to hold himself back from situations, even if violence is involved. Whilst looking at physical flaws and violent attributes, the anti- hero Deadpool is comparable to McMurphy. Both characters are visibly flawed, but have behavioral similarities such as their boisterous behavior, upsetting the balance and often causing chaos, callous behaviour to those on their opposing side but will not harm the innocent , and often having unpredictable actions. McMurphy’s and Deadpool’s rebellious actions and tendencies to push the limits too far, often placing them in strife. Deadpool was used as a torturous experiment deforming his body before he initially began his role as an anti- hero, where as McMurphy received his shock treatment and frontal lobotomy as a result of being an anti- hero. Although each anti- heroes story had alternative outcomes, their physical and emotional flaws relate them to one

     A hero is defined in classical mythology as a man, especially the son of a god and a mortal, who is famous for possessing some extraordinary gift. Beowulf, the title character of an epic poem and Superman, a more modern day hero are both prime examples. Beowulf and Superman exhibit several differences, but they also share some similar qualities.

Hero. Hero comes from the greek word heros meaning “A person who faces adversity, or demonstrates courage, in the face of danger.” Growing up we have always read stories about heroes coming to save the day; for instance, Captain America. Being that our whole lives we were mostly exposed to heroism, have you ever asked yourself what is the opposite of a hero? A villain is the opposite of a hero, but their is another opposite form of a hero; a tragic hero. A Tragic hero is “A literary character who makes a judgment error that inevitably leads to his/her own destruction” (“Tragic hero as defined by Aristotle”). For instance, in the play written by Sophocles Antigone, the tragic hero is Creon. Creon who is Antigone’s

In its origin, the term “antihero” referred to “the male star of a drama who remained likable despite moral ambiguity” (Rabinowitz). For an extended period of time, female antiheros simply did not exist. There was no word for female characters who one was forced to like, regardless of their wolfly characteristics. We simply love them because they are the star of the show. Piper Chapman is exactly this: a character who one only likes because they are the central character in the story, when in reality, they have very questionable morals and are most likely wolves. Alex Rabinowitz, leading figure in entertainment news on social media, defines Piper as “the most groundbreaking character on television” because of her journey to be what he calls an “antihero” and what I call a wolf. The two terms seem virtually interchangeable, with the only difference being the audience’s feelings towards the character. Chapman is the main character of one of Netflix’s greatest hit series, “Orange Is The New Black”. This series, created and produced by Jenji Kohan, follows the lives of an entire prison full of women who are serving their time in Litchfield Penitentiary, a minimum security women’s prison located in upstate New York. All of these women have their own stories and problems that the viewer follows throughout the four current seasons. While watching the episodes, the viewer truly grows to love many of the characters, each in their own unique way. The one character that most people are

During the 1930s, America had entered a time of economic need. By the 1950s, the nation had completely evolved and was now one of the most wealthy societies in the world. This drastic changed was influenced by multiple actions carried out by the state, leaders in industry, the labor movement, and the Cold War. Unfortunately, not all Americans benefitted from the shift from economic Depression into the prosperous society that America would become.

In the reading, “Why We Love TV’s Anti-heroes” by Stephen Garrett, he points out that anti-heroes are becoming more popular than the traditional hero. Garrett states, “the word hero is abused in the news, the sports reports, and even in conversation” (318). For example tabloids recognize someone who battles a drug addiction and overcomes it or a substitute kicker for the football game kick the winning field goal (318). You see he argues that traditional heroes are “boring” and that there are no longer any more real heroes (318-321). Anti-heroes are characters or people who are just evil but still get the viewers to like

Anti-heroes do not solely exist in the fictional world. There are people in the real world, everyday who fit the anti-hero description. They are… the Mob. In ancient times loyalty was purest form of respect. It was a way of life. One was loyal to his or her family, govern, king, and God. Hand in hand with loyalty, comes the right to revenge. The Mob is one of the few “societies” that has reserved that tradition. For example: when a family member is assassinated, it is not only the right, but also the duty of the surviving family to avenge that death. This loyalty to one’s own, coupled with the fierce determination to protect them, are incredibly heroic qualities. Organized crime families are oohed and ahhed by the press and pop culture, and have their own fans. While these people are not ideal role models, they possess heroic qualities worthy of aspiration.

“It’s not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me.” Said by Bruce Wayne, explains how he feels about what he does as Batman. His actions as Batman prove him as an anti-hero. Christopher Nolan portrays Batman as an antihero through isolation of the character, and a dim setting of the movie.
