Vanquishie's Attack Of The Dark Knight

Revenge is a centerpiece of most conflicts within literature. In The Oresteia, All the King’s Men, and The Aeneid, there are three modes through which revenge can be exacted: premeditated dishonorable revenge, premeditated honorable revenge, and unplanned agitated revenge. These sometimes violent acts of emotion can reveal the purpose of a character as well as the role the character plays in either developing or resolving the many conflicts present within his story.

There is a story going around, that a mom can lift a car up when their child is stuck underneath it, and in danger. When a person is hit with adversity, they are able to bring out certain characteristics that they did not know were possible, or that they had. This is because being in a situation where you are faced with a problem, people tend to find their true talents.

The killing of Hamlet’s father, the King of Denmark, leads to the murder of eight people and the death of Matt’s son in Killings leads to the death of one other person. The actions of the main characters lead to destruction both before and after the murders. In William Shakespeare’s Hamlet and Andre Dubus’ Killings, violence has a large impact on the characters’ ability to control their fates which is supported by the major decisions that the main characters have to make overall leading to a negative impact on themselves and the people around them.

When you think of psychology what is the the first name that comes to mind? My guess is that you thought of Sigmund Freud. Even though none of his theories of dreams or sexuality have any empirical evidence, he is still one of the most influential figures in all of philosophy. One of Freud’s ideas that does have substance is the idea that our minds are dynamic and contain both conscious and unconscious memories, thoughts, and desires. Freud labeled these phenomena the id, ego, and superego. While the nuances of this theory are complex and somewhat monotonous, they are brought to life in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight. The chaotic and childish joker (id), the pure and valiant Harvey Dent (superego), and the one responsible for finding a balance between the two, Batman (ego).

Throughout “The Dark Knight” by Christopher Nolan crime and deviance is seen throughout the film. Crime and deviance in The Dark Knight has two faces as society accepts crime for those whose are helping them and at the same time punishes those who are punished. Society in Gotham accepts crime when the Batman commits it to help for the betterment of society; however, crime is not accepted when it is committed by mob bosses, gangs, criminal cops, and most importantly through the joker. The forms of deviancy/crime which are seen throughout the film is the Labeling Approach, Human Rights Approach, and Human Diversity Approach.

Satanic forces have plagued the as soon as calm human kingdoms as well as currently depends on you, as the Brave Knight, to place an end to this evil by taking a trip with dark woodlands as well as plagued communities in order to beat them! Look out for the wicked plagued castles, horrible employer awaits you!

When King Arthur demanded to see a spectacle of blood or some overly-pompous story, the reader sees a streak of corruption within the kingdom. The greatest knight of all the land, King Arthur, who just requested a challenge, is challenged and filled with fear, refusing the request of the giant emerald gentleman on his emerald stallion. This remains at the beginning of Arthur’s court, a metaphorical Troy, and its downward spiral. Chivalry and courtly law also falter with Sir Gawain’s cowardice. A year and a day after axing the head of the Green Knight, Sir Gawain was honourably bound to have his head axed off by the Green Knight.

The Green Knight, symbolic of the cyclicality of nature, as well as the relationship between civilization and nature, proposes a game of beheading--or rather, an assessment of mettle. “. . . several of the lords were like statues in their seats, left speechless and rigid, not risking a response” (241-242). The court’s response, or lack thereof, to the Green Knight’s proposal, further illustrates the moment of disrupted expectations among readers, for despite the court’s projected clan of esteemed, battle-hardened warriors, the opportunity arose to reveal frightened, naive, and untested soldiers. The Green Knight critically alludes to the court’s acclaimed status, emphasizing the irony of the predicament and therefore the recurring theme, for despite the court’s revered reputation, they remain idle. “. . . your castle and brotherhood are called the best, the strongest men to ever mount the saddle, the worthiest knights ever known to the world, both in competition and in true combat . . .

Revenge, a perfectly legitimate method of righting wrongs in medieval England, is often a natural avenue to gain recognition and acclaim. Previously a humble knight in the lower ranks, Balin’s name becomes better known when his virtue merits an enchanted sword. With this sword, Balin avenges his mother’s murder by decapitating the Lady of the Lake (the very sorceress who bestowed Excalibur unto Arthur) in front of Arthur’s eyes. Although Balin did this in the name of justice, King Arthur took deep offence and Balin was reduced to travel around the kingdom incognito. Throughout his wandering days, Balin’s single goal is to reestablish the respect the king once had for him. The process of doing so ironically leads to a deadly confrontation with a masked knight (Balin’s brother in disguise) whom no one has defeated. Naturally, Balin instigates a duel with the notorious knight and his success is also his demise.

This era was a time when Kings and Knights were defined by their chivalry and their battle scars. In medieval times or in dark years a Knight’s loyalty and honor was the heart and soul of their lives. The life of Kings and Knights reveal their honorable and loyal character by the history of challenges set before them that sometimes can result in forgiveness or death

I wrote this short story in Mr.Degroff’s class. While I was creating the story plot I was thinking about all the books I read my tenth-grade year. “The Scorned King” turned out to be a story about a young prince who outlaws sorcery as his parents have been using magic to torture him, yet the plan backfires on him as his kingdom and people have been so dependent on magic to live that the whole kingdom falls apart. I really just mixed the plots of “Percy Jackson” and “Harry Potter” yet I really do not know how I got the dark plot. I choose this story to put in my zine really because it was my favorite activity of tenth grade making my own story instead of following the curriculum and reading repetitive Shakespeare books. This story represented

But at one of the many whimsical fetes, for no explicable reason, he throws a spear through the heart of a minstrel who is serenading him. No one can believe what has happened, and the Kings composure hasn't changed, but he sits with the same beaming expression of well being... So bizarre, that the courtiers in the room actually look about for another assassin, but everyone present knowing full well it was the king that threw the lance, as all eyes are always upon him when ever he is present. After awhile it is forgotten, due partly because the king appears genuinely saddened by the act, but not a guilty sorrow, but rather as though the minstrel's death occurred by a natural hand of fate, and not his own, as though the singer were the victim

"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 Dark Knight, directed by Christopher Nolan, is an action-packed movie set in the fictional city of Gotham. It is a real-life film based on the marvelous comic book hero, Batman. Throughout the movie, there are many philosophical themes portrayed. After closely analyzing the film, I found that some of the most distinct ideas would be that of Hobbes’ theory of human nature. More specifically, Hobbes’ idea that without the security that society offers, humans will become fearful and chaotic. Humans are prone to look towards an authority figure that can provide them protection, and when that figure is taken away, they go into anarchy.
