With Circe in particular, Circe turned all of Odysseus crew into swine, but he was able to resist her powers, which caused her to fall in love with him. Odysseus then decided to spend a year of luxury on her island as her lover. Odysseus said, "We sat there feasting on unlimited meat and sweet wine. But when the sun went down and the sacred darkness came over… but I, mounting the surpassingly
Although not comic accurate, his arrogance and imperiousness compels him to build the artificial intelligence 'Ultron' in an attempt to “create a suit of armour around the world”. Of course, Stark's self-righteous plan fails and his creation becomes the new super villain of the film Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015). In spite of this, his character remains appealing because, “in the netherworld of our unconscious is our constant propensity to return to a state of primary narcissism” (Peaslee 2005:online)
able to do supernatural, super-human work in favor of the public. My favorite hero was, and still is, the amazing superhero Spiderman.

special interest in the life story of Lucy Maud Montgomery. The works of these authors are vital in the comparative analysis of Anne Shirley and Montgomery. An example of this is the book Lucy Maud Montgomery: The Gift of Wings that was written by Mary Henley Rubio. In addition, Catherine Andronik had fancied Montgomery’s remarkable life journey, thus, giving her the motivation to pen the Kindred Spirit: A biography of L.

Hamlet - Shakespeare's Ophelia as Modern Icon Shakespeare's Ophelia is not lacking in attention. As one of Shakespeare's most popular female characters she has enjoyed many appellations from the bard. '"Fair Ophelia." "Most beautified Ophelia." "Pretty Ophelia." "Sweet Ophelia." "Dear Ophelia."

Graphic novels and comics have commonly been perceived as a form almost exclusively created for and enjoyed by men and boys. However, there are ways in which that has been contradicted by female graphic novelists whose works feature thoughtful, well-written, and realistic portrayals of women.
