Archetypes In The Avengers

To fully understand spiderman as an archetype in our culture we must first understand peter parker. Peter grew up with a loving family and spent most of his time with them when they weren't on business trips. Until one day Peter's parents left him with his aunt May and uncle Ben and hurried away. Soon after Peter answers the door to man who tells him his parents have died in a terrible plane crash. Several years later Peter is still living with his Aunt and Uncle and going to highschool.

One of the most significant attributes of Loki is his connection to Ragnarök, or the end of the world according the Norse mythology. He triggers Ragnarök by “arranging the death of Baldur,” (Lindow, par. 6). He does this by tricking the blind god Hod into throwing a mistletoe spear at Baldur, killing him (McCoy, par. 9). He then turns against the gods and takes the side of the giant. Some of the major incidents that take place during the battle include: Jormungand, the giant serpent, slaying Thor; Fenrir, the wolf, killing Odin; and Loki and Heimdall mortally wounding each other (McCoy, par. 3 and 8). As punishment, the gods “tie him down to three rocks inside a cave” while “a venomous serpent sits above him, dripping poison onto him” (McCoy, par. 9).

In the film, The Avengers, directed and written by Joss Whendon incorporates various heroic archetypes and their journey throughout many of the characters. In one way, Loki can be considered a magician mainly due to the fact that he has magical powers and how he uses it to manipulate other characters in the film. For example, while making his way to the city, Loki manages to manipulate the citizens through fear and asks, “Is this not simpler? Is this not your natural state? It’s the unspoken truth of humanity, that you crave subjugation. The bright lure of freedom diminishes your life’s joy in a mad scramble for power, for identity. You were made to be ruled. In the end, you will always kneel.” (Whendon, 2012). Not only that, but Whendon has

In Warcross there are a lot of characters and ways they fill their archetypes. But there is also ways they don't fill their archetypes. In this chapter I will tell you ways characters fill their archetypes and ways they don't.

Archetypes Explored by Huxley All books carry a type of defiant structure weather that is a place, a character, or lesson. In the dystopian novel by Aldous Huxley called Brave New World, Huxley explores many recurring symbols yet two main distinctive archetypes stood out. The symbol archetype of color and character archetype of the outcast drive the plot of the book. Colors symbolize different meanings such as black representing death or green representing hope.

George Lucas’ Star Wars “A New Hope” is an award winning film that graced the silver screen in 1977. Star Wars: A New Hope (New Hope) conforms to Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey. “George Lucas was an avid admirer of Joseph Campbell’s writings, and used them as a direct reference in his creation of Star Wars.” There is also a great deal of the Jungian framework that presents itself in a New Hope. A good number of archetypes are present in the film.

2. Looking at the candle before me, it was hard to imagine that it was made from the tallow of a sheep.

Throughout history, stereotypes prove fundamental to recurring societal conflicts. As feminism and the Black Lives Matter movement, among others, arise to create generational connections, prejudice, in turn, demonstrates longevity through clichés that create conflict rather than peace. In the same manner, literature allows conflict to flourish through the use of archetypes. In Aldous Huxley’s dystopian novel, Brave New World, the archetype of initiation brings a character into a new realm, whereas the archetype of a fall pulls a character back down to reality. However, both situational archetypes work to fully expose the scope of conflict in the novel. Therefore, archetypal references exacerbate the conditions created by the government in the

In order to understand the overarching message of Brave New World, Huxley uses a variety of elements such as Archetypes, Allusions, and the conflict of man vs society in which help highlight the novel.

1. The River – Almost any source of water will focus on the importance of life. Without water there is no life. A journey on or down a river is often a metaphor for life’s journey or a character’s journey, especially if the river is shown as a road or means of travel – pulling or pushing a character through changes. (Twain’s Huck Finn) Rivers can also be a metaphor for the passage of time (Big Fish) or the stages of a human life (creek, roaring river, sea; or the crossing of the river Styx in Greek myths). Since rivers are often used as political borders or boundaries, crossing one may be seen as a “passing over” or a decision that cannot be taken back. In Africa, and thus African literature, rivers are the

Great job with you Initial Post, I loved how you picked the perfect archetype for the commercial. This commercial is comical in a way so that fits in with the jester archetype, Some people may have gotten this confused with the heroic one. Just on the fact that so many people consider lebron a hero. Im definelty going to be taking some pointers from you next time, because you went into detail how this commercail is bootsing someone's status. Honestly I would have never thought of that.The only thing I would suggest is to use more Transitional Phrases. Other than that the commercial was hilarious and you did an exceptional job. Keep it

The path you take on your journey to completing your manuscript is dictated by what kind of writer you are. There are two archetypes: the pantser and the planner. Named from the idiom, ‘fly from the seat of your pants’, the pantser can begin their novel without knowing how it will end (s 8). On the other end of the spectrum is the planner, the kind of writer who has to plot and outline every detail of their novel. Australian novelist Bryce Courteney explains the concept using the metaphor of a train journey. Some writers know exactly which station they’re leaving from and how to reach their final destination. They know all of the stops the train will make along the way and how long the journey will take. Other writers are hoping there’s a train

After viewing Under the Skin the first thing that crossed my mind was the value of having a film with minimal dialogue. The value that I found was that it forces one to focus on the content of the film, and the cinematic decisions. The film was mainly based on a single archetype, the femme fatale. However, I didn’t enjoy this because of how blatantly obvious it was with the over sexualization of Scarlett Johansson, and the following abductions of men. The archetype that I did enjoy was one that I believe is under the radar for most viewers, and that is what has become the modern archetype of “the rape van”. The unmarked windowless van has become synonymous as a predatory vehicle. One that has the sole purpose of luring people into the unknown. Although subtle, I believe that the archetypal “rape van” greatly enhanced the effect of what came across as a cliche femme fatale. As a whole I found the movie to be underwhelming, not great, but not awful, a solid 5/10.

Deadpool is a movie that was produced in 2016, directed by Tim Miller and made a humongous profit of 706.3 million dollars. The movie starts out with the main character Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) as an assassin and then he meets his future wife Copycat (Morena Baccarin). Then Deadpool finds out he has cancer and he will die, but, then he meets Ajax (Ed Skrein) who could mutate him and erase all of the cancer. Sadly, Deadpool mutates and becomes very ugly and is scared to talk to his wife Copycat and sets out to get revenge on Ajax. Ajax’s name is really not Ajax but he uses it to cover up his real name which is Francis.

Loki 's relationship with the other gods is what obscures Loki’s motives. Loki is in a position to help both the gods and the giants, depending on which course of action is most pleasurable and advantageous to him at the time. Loki consistently takes great pleasure in fooling or insulting the Aesir, he is not shown as an outright evil god, mainly because his intentions are concealed by his position among the gods. Even his most malevolent moments can be seen as him slashing back at his tormentors, such as Baldur’s death, he was motivated by jealousy and hatred due to being figuratively shackled by the gods. However, during Ragnarok when the gods and giants engage in their ultimate struggle and the cosmos is destroyed, Loki joins the battle on the side of the giants. According the book, he even captains the ship Naglfar, “Nail Ship,” which brings many of the giants to their battle with the gods. (Pg # Ragnarok) What 's interesting is the ambiguity of the his reasoning for siding with the giants. It’s possible that he was titular piece in planning the god destruction, or his hand
