Analysis Of The Book ' The Batman '

Here Odin introduces of Loki, the trickster God, who becomes jealous of Balder’s immunity. While disguised, Loki asks Frigg “ ‘Have all things given their oath not to harm Balder?’ Frigg answers, ‘A shoot of wood grows to the west of Valhalla. It is called Mistletoe, and it seemed too young for me to demand its

When comparing both Loki and Joker they do not seem to have the same motives in why they revel in our creation of chaos, however they both express the same desire to cause such chaos. “The Norse trickster god, Loki is undoubtedly the most debated figure from Norse mythology to this day. Though he appears to be a scheming, mischievous deity who has no real loyalties, scholars still explore what his purpose might have been in the ancient stories” (The Enigmatic Loki, Riley Winters 2014). Loki, the trickster god, had always used his antics to fool with the other gods, but over the years many of the Norse gods became angry with Loki for all the mischief he would keep inflicting upon them and as such the gods began to hate Loki. As time went on Loki began to grow increasingly evil with his constant berating of his fellow deities. He became angry with all the gods due to their mutual hate of him. Finally, after eons of constant hatred Loki arranged a scheme to murder the one of most loved and notable persons in Norse mythology Balder, son of

Loki is known as the trickster god of Norse mythology and is even said to be one of the first anti-heroes. He is also probably one of the most well-known tricksters as well. In the Norse myths, he is often portrayed as being very mischievous and is always causing trouble for the gods. In fact, “he was so outrageously mischievous that he even sneaked his way into becoming a god” (Allen, and Saunders, par. 1). However, even though he almost always seems to be getting the gods into some kind of trouble, he also helps them at times in an attempt to get them out of their predicaments…even if those predicaments are his own fault to begin with.

Odin only has one eye; it blazes like the sun. He gave his other eye for a drink from the Well of Wisdom. Odin has a spear, Gungnir, that never misses its target. He owns an eight-legged horse, Sleipnir, two wolves, Geri and Freki, and two raven, Huginn and Muninn. Wednesday is named after him (pantheon/odin).

Due to being the God of mischief he is not shown in the spotlight and lives in his brothers shadow. We see his transformation throughout the movie as he wishes to begin the one true heir and take Thor place as future king which in order to secure his position he shows he is willing to kill his brother. Thor however found this hard to see as he does not seem that intimidating this only adds to him fitting the trickster archetype as does not seem to be the type to do that. This can fit easily modernly as many people can feel as if they are in the shadow of somebody especially if they are siblings. This can lead them to develop cold feelings towards them which they may not show or admit to until

There is a wicked side to Odin. He can be erratic and at times abuse his power by causing or initiating wars. This has surfaced with many rulers throughout history. If Odin were to be compared to a

The similarities between Prometheus and Loki are almost a sly innuendo for a common origin in there founding. For example, the way the two are punished by the wrath of the gods. However for Prometheus it is Zeus who decides to punish Prometheus by having his liver pecked out every single day for thousands of years until rescued by Heracles and for Loki his punishment is unanimous all the gods were in Layman’s term “fed up with his shit.” And there punishment was for him to be bound by using his son’s “Nari” or “Narfi” entrailsto bind him to a rock inside a cave with a snake dripping poison on his face, though in the text there is no mention of Prometheus wife helping him. Lok’s wife was helping her husband by catching the poison with the

Across many cultural stories and myths clear character archetypes emerge. One such archetype is the trickster. They are often characterized by playing pranks and manipulating the people around him. Two specific examples of the trickster are Iago in Othello and Loki from Norse mythology. In their respective stories these two characters are astonishingly similar. There are of course some differences between two, but the similarities they have allow for clear correlations to be drawn. This could have implication of cultural sharing between England and Norse countries. Both Iago and Loki are strikingly similar in their roles as the trickster.

Gods, spirits, and the supernatural are present in a max amount of trickster tales, these three words are a phenomenon that counter to the understanding of science and the laws of nature. “The sky-god kept all the stories”. This is an excerpt from the story How Stories came to Earth. This trickster tale is about a god who hoarded stories all to himself and did not wish to share any of them with anyone or anything neighboring him. Another story that contains examples of gods, spirits, and the supernatural is Coyote Steals Fire. The god, Thunder, was the caretaker of fire in this tale. Numerous amounts of people and animals wanted to acquire fire, to keep themselves warm and cook food. This story displays the presence of a god that was very self-indulgent

in Norse mythology loki is the brother odin is a very sneaky villain and in batman the joker is batman's…. arch nemesis these two villains are very similar. In norse mythology loki is one of the main reasons ragnarok happened he let fenris wolf loose and act like nothing wrong (being a trickster) and fenris the wolf later on caused ragnarok. In batman the joker is very tricky and cannot contained by police no matter how many times they try , his main goal is to kill batman and take over gotham city once and for all, he does not

Over the next two weeks, we planned how to tell the others about Loki and me. It was going well but Thor was not so sure, what would happen. He’s just as anxious as I was about telling knew that they would be mad with him keeping this secret. They had to understand why he didn't tell them.

Loki has a very different perception of him by the people who worshiped Paganism. Loki has also been used to personify different events that have happened in the Pagan religion. This insight on how Loki, as well as other Gods, relayed messages and lessons for the people of the Pagan religion is very interesting and intriguing. In the Nordic Religions in the Viking Age book written by Thomas A. Dubois he talked about this in detail. A detail about Loki’s presence in Pagan religion he explained stood out to me, it went as followed “This approach became particularly pronounced in Christianity, distinguishing the Christian devil from the more ambiguous demons of pagan tradition, the trickster/demon Loki, for example, the ill-willed but occasionally marriageable giant

This student would have to say her favorite trickster is Loki; he is funny

I am a trickster. I see myself in characters such as the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland, Batman, and even in Aang from Avatar: The Last Airbender. I have a sick and twisted sense of humor and only certain people can appreciate it. Although i’m obviously hilarious, I have a sincerity in my actions that I believe is plain to see. Growing up I was always joking about something, taking aim at my brothers most of the time. Even

There are many different archetypes in literature. The trickster is one of those many archetypes that is used in stories from history and continuing into modern times. The trickster is used in literature for many reasons. He always makes the story interesting. When you first see his character in the text, you may think that he is an amicable protagonist. Usually as the story progresses you can see him slightly unfold into something you never expected in the beginning. He is, like his name, a trickster. You could compare him to a snake. Slithering quietly, seeming to mean no harm, so you trust that he won't bite. You let him go about his business and do what he
