Captain Blood’s Peter Blood provides an excellent example of this love centered pirate archetype, as close examination of the text provides glaringly obvious evidence that Bloods driving principles rest entirely upon his love for Arabella Bishop, the governor of Jamaica’s niece. Still somewhat early in the story, Pitt, Bloods navigator and record keeper, informs readers that “the thought of Arabella Bishop… loomed large in his mind… He desired Arabella, yet knew her beyond his reach irrevocably (127)

In the book the main character (Otto Malpense), is a white-haired thirteen-year-old British boy with the ability to
Edward Ned Kelly was Australia’s most famous bushranger; regarded by many as a hero who fought “for the rights of the battler.” Whether Ned Kelly was a hero, however, has been debated throughout Australia’s history. Evidence shows that Ned was a murderous villain who terrorised towns and robbed wealthy pastoralists; a man who broke the law and committed an array of crimes that were both evil and immoral.

Macbeth: Hero or Villain In this essay, I will be divulging into 'Macbeth' written by William Shakespeare in 1603, to try and answer the question 'Was Macbeth a true hero or villain in the play?'. Macbeth is a play of villainy, murder, deceit and oftenly described as a 'play fit for a king'. In my personal opinion, the evidence from Shakespeare's original text and Roland Polanski's video version strongly suggests that Macbeth was a true villain rather than a hero. An
gangster who makes his money through bootlegging and acts conceited enough to woo Daisy, a married woman. Gatsby’s character is quite questionable due to his mischievous and partially unknown background, some considering him a con artist or even a villainous man. However, the “negative” characteristics of Gatsby are some of the prominent characteristics that classify him as a heroic character.

To fully become Richard in my piece I undertook a close textual analysis of the play in which he features, noting any lines that exemplified his character.
