t the end of the movie, Spiderman defeats the Green Goblin and enforces the motto that good triumphs over evil. This film conveys to the audience that it stands for honorable values such as strength, courage and love, as these are the ideals Spiderman stands for. However, the ending of the film also authenticates the notion that sometimes to overcome evil, the good guy must pay a price. This is evidenced in the last scene when Peter makes a brave and noble choice to say goodbye to his true love, Mary Jane. He knows that if he stays with her she may be in danger, so he sacrifices his desire for a future with her for her safety.

The world as we know it is constantly moving and changing; events occur that can affect people’s lives even if they are thousands of miles away. Whether or not these happenings are good or evil can shape one’s mindset and outlook on the actions they take themselves. Both have distinct strengths and weaknesses; however, the real question one must ask is which side of the spectrum is more capable of influencing humanity. In Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde written by Robert Louis Stevenson, a wealthy and well-respected doctor by the name of Henry Jekyll, who believes that man is not one but two separate people, constructs a potion which unearths his inner evil (Mr. Edward Hyde), and in the end is engulfed by the strength of his malevolent persona.

In the movie, “The Amazing Spider-Man,” the director uses the archetypes, The Battle of Good vs Evil, The Hero, The Tyrant, The Warrior, Sidekicks, and The Forest.

The Kiss of the Spider Woman tells us of the story of Molina, a transgender male in jail for perversion of a minor, and Valentin, a political prisoner. As the novel progresses, both characters change through their shared experiences, quarrels, ideology, compassion, care, and eventually, their relationship. Molina’s blatant gayness is evident, while Valentin’s sexuality eventually proves contingent in spite of his apparent masculinity. Despite Valentin’s love for a bourgois, Marta, Molina inflicts a new desire in him. This is plain to see in the last story in the novel: the Spider Woman. While in a dream produced by an injection of Morphine, Valentin tells his love, Marta, a story about a woman trapped in a web which comes out of her body. Like Molina, the Spider Woman both disgusts and soothes Valentin.

Now in these days everyone one likes to read comic books since they became part of our society. What makes them interesting is how entertaining they could get giving us different points of views on different stories of superheroes. Many of us believe that “Classic superheroes stories are wildly fun, suspenseful and exciting” (Tom and Matt Morris) forgetting the idea of what really makes a hero. Different perceptions of superheroes are considered based on their wrong actions and way of thinking. Frank’s Miller Batman: The Dark Knight Returns is one of the comic books that make us “rethink the conception of the superhero and press each of us to reconsider some of the fundamental moral principles
"The Dark Knight" is grimly magisterial. It's a summer blockbuster that contemplates near-total civic disaster: Crowds surge, tractor-trailers flip, and buildings explode, but the pop violence feels heavy, mournful. Light barely escapes the film's gravitational pull.

The concept of morality plays an important role in human society. Through the discovery of what, exactly, determines that which is “good” and that which is “bad”, humans develop mechanisms that determine how they respond to or judge any given situation. What remains a mystery, however, is what, exactly, is the basis of morals. It is commonly believed that morals are learned through lived experiences, as well as, from those who act as each person’s individual caretaker(s). Even though these factors do play a significant role in determining morality, these factors alone neither create nor determine a person’s moral compass. In Paul Bloom’s work, Just Babies: The Origins of Good and Evil, we are introduced to the idea that morality, while partly learned, is something that is ingrained in humans from birth. Through multiple studies, performed both by Bloom as well as other psychologists, it is revealed that not only are babies able to perceive what is right and what is wrong, but also, from birth, babies are instilled with the innate knowledge of empathizing, valuing fairness and status, and valuing those who look similar versus those who look different. In spite of previous ideas, Bloom proves that babies are smarter than previously thought, while simultaneously recognizing the shortcomings of this “elementary” form of morality. Bloom’s finding prove to be revolutionary, in that they allow for the examination of different social structures, their shortcomings, and what
In Beyond Good and Evil, Nietzsche discusses how he is not a believer in democracy. The principles of democracy were put together by levelers, or people that believe in democracy. These principles lead to equality that restrains life to one universal truth and Nietzsche did not agree with this idea at all. He believed that these principles caused people to form into one large herd. In this herd, people follow one another with no will to power, which results in the downfall of individual rights and instincts. This makes the herd the definition of morality in society, which Nietzsche disagrees with. But he brings up the idea of neighbor love. Neighbor love is the idea that we are all in one herd so we are all equal which creates us to all
Being the hero that he is, Spider-Man decides to save both the children and Mary-Jane. A large battle between Spider-Man and the Green Goblin ensues, with the Green Goblin’s eventual death, and Spider-Man’s massive injuries being the result. Spider-Man finally defeats the enemy, in his final ordeal, saving New York from cold-blooded villainy for a while. Therefore, by completing, undergoing, and overcoming extremely difficult tasks such as battling with the enemy and saving the ones he loves, the film Spider-Man shows that it is part of the quest archetype.
When you think of a superhero one normally thinks of Spiderman, Batman, or Superman, but there were superheroes long before these characters were created. First one must understand that the basis of this name is hero. What is a hero? A hero is a person who does something special or out of the ordinary in order to help others. It could also be someone who is admired for a characteristic about them, be it physical or mental. They are individuals that normal everyday people can look up to. This being the case, a superhero is nothing more then someone who is a hero, but not just that once and for that one person, but someone who helps many people, or leads them. As time went by the number of people who were true heroes diminished and just
