He put his life on the line for the people but not just for the people some for his own selfish reasons as described above. His pride would not let him back down from a challenge or waiver in any sort of battle/competition. His greedy ways sent him on a course headed for destruction since he had an insatiable appetite for fame and glory. All together Beowulf was a great guy that did what he could for the people that praised him. He had faults just like everyone else because nobody is perfect.
I believe that the screenwriter's basic purpose for all the rhetorical techniques in this scene were to show that viewer that Captain Miller is a very unique character. He is the strongest, most experienced, and the wisest of the bunch, yet he is very sad and emotionally confused. These flaws display the weakness in his character. Thus, it shows that no one is perfect. Everyone has flaws, no matter how small the flaws may be.
Overall, the Inspector seems to be the most powerful character in the play, but at times he doesn’t show his over-powering presence and lets the Birlings show how venerable and culpability. But, when he does show his dominance, the other characters realise how much power he really does have. I think he has the most powerful presence in the play because just by showing his actions and only using one word can make him appear superior to characters such Mr Birling, who are arrogant and think having a status in community and knowing important people can make look like he has a high
Doc could be the most successful character because he is caring, and has a really good reputation, generous, which leads to the fact that he earns respect from others. He is really lonely and thinks that no one likes him, the true is that he is really loved in Row and they even try to
This jealousy causes conflicts. Phineas assumes that everyone thinks like he does, and often acts selfishly, insisting that he and Gene do whatever he wants. His carefree, self-centered attitude adds to Gene’s resentment toward Phineas. Phineas, only aware of himself and seeing only the good in others, never seems to pick up on Gene’s inner uproar. Phineas is an influential, charming figure, and a genuine good guy.
Even though Iago stands in the lower class, he has superior intelligence. Iago masterfully executes his plots because the other characters do not expect this sort of evil complexity to exist in his mind. He evades suspicion by tricking others. Iago poses as a simple-minded man who only wants the best for the people around him, and he gains and abuses their trust. His underappreciated talent causes him to manipulate others for a sense of
Bethany is the intelligent one with a good job and Carla is the beautiful one that always gets asked out by attractive men. Both of these characters are jealous and say things throughout the story to prove that the other’s trait is more desirable. What is more important, beauty or intelligence? That seems to be a problem that many people deal with in their respective lives and there doesn’t seem to be an underlying answer that justifies one case or the other. Throughout the story, the characters bicker back and forth about why it is better to be intelligent over being beautiful and vice versa.
He's not your simple classic protagonist, but he is a very well developed character. His characterization is best brought by his ending monologue; through all the thick layers of greed, drunkenness and lust, Conker is but a man, and throughout the whole game, he was searching for more, for everything that he truly wanted, is what he already had. Final verdict: the main characters are well made, but the supporting characters got really annoying really
William Forrester believes himself perfectly fine until he is face to face with society, and has to overcome it. Sean Connery is an amazing actor and doesn’t fail us in ‘Finding Forrester’. He brings William Forrester to life as a man welling with energy despite his nuances. F. Murray Abraham plays the role of Professor Crawford, a bitter man everyday faced with his own failure, and one of the more shallow characters of the movie. The reason is how obvious his jealousy and racism are.
He is the prime example of a character that is easy to sympathize with or feel sorry for; however, the monster deserves a lot more sympathy than Victor does. Victor in a sense is the counterpart to the monster; he is surrounded by people who love him and cherish his company and thoughts. The monster on the other hand has no one to talk to, and is rejected by all even if though his heart is passionate. It is as the saying, ‘do not judge a book by its cover’,with the monster it is this way. He seems to be a very intelligent being, though he may be a little immature, this is all Victor’s doing.
