In “The Devil and Tom Walker” they use literary archetypes that represents universal patterns of human behavior or commonly-held beliefs. This story takes place in 1727 in Boston Massachusetts. There are three main characters who are very similar but a little different. Tom Walker is small, greedy, overly confident, and miserly. Tom Walker’s wife Mrs. Walker is selfish, verbally abusive towards Tom, and she is known as a termagant because she nags and complains all of the time. Last but not least old scratch has many other names that have been given to him by his personality, but he is the devil.

Frank Miller alludes to Bruce’s mental warfare throughout his comic novel, giving the readers a glimpse of the internal dialogue between man and monster. It is important to realize how stark the differences between Batman and Bruce Wayne are and how this recognition gives the readers a chance to understand the complex character that Batman is. This tumultuous battle of custody over one body is a catalyst for the story while also bringing to light a man and his demon coexisting in the same vessel. While these differences are stark, it is crucial to note that Bruce Wayne is a special case because of the cohesion existing between himself and Batman, setting him apart from his nemeses. The dynamic duo has achieved unity between Bruce Wayne’s morals and humanity and

Bruce Wayne is a very complicated individual due to his hero archetype with wide range persona and visible shadow that presents itself through Batman. The scene that captures overall personality is the scene that shows Alfred and Bruce talking after Rachel Dawes’ death, 1:38:00-1:39:15. The scene opens up with Bruce Wayne sitting in the apartment, in Batman armour, rationalizing the situation and facing the damage that has been caused over his pursuit of the Joker. Bruce Wayne feels as though Gotham city needs a true hero and Batman does not seem to cut it anymore. As he states himself, “Gotham needs its true hero and I let that murdering psychopath blow him half to hell” (Nolan 2008). Bruce sees that he is no longer able to control the situation

The boy, who was named Bruce after Bruce Wayne, Billy's favourite superhero, had turned out nothing like his father. Instead, he was a hard, faced, stoic businessman with a wife and two kids, the paragon of Americanisation and a fine product of American capitalism. When he was first born, Billy wanted to call him Dark, Dark Knight but to his relief his partner had stopped him. Billy was still resentful of that, he thought perhaps if they had called him that the boy would have become the next Batman. And they might've been able to sue DC Comics for taking his name.

As soon as her board hit the ground Braeden was off and skating, ignoring the rain and pushing harder, taking sharper turns and faster stops. The only thing running through her head on repeat was Allison. Her smile, her laugh, her natural caring traits, and her beautiful heart. She smiled to herself at the gesture of the flowers. Who even does that for someone they barely know?

Ike said, “I’m going to go look for shelter while you go look for food.” In the distance Jason spots an dog and says, “Why would there be an dog here, there has to be people here too. Let’s go follow it.” As they got closer they noticed that this dog did not look friendly with its sharp teeth, slobber dripping from its mouth and its fierce looking paws. Ike said, “That thing must have rabies.” They both sprinted away not knowing where they were going. Once they realized the dog was not following them anymore, they realized they had ran into an cave. They were so frightened that there might be bats in the cave. Ike said, “Oh my, maybe that’s how the dog got rabies.”

The book starts out simple; just a group of children stranded on an island with two leaders. As the book progresses, the children are no longer children, but are now barbarians due to the circumstances they encounter on the island. In the beginning of the story the reader is introduced to a character known as “the fat boy” (Golding 6). As a kid, “the fat boy” went through a lot more than just sharp needles from vaccines (Golding 6). In the book, the boy mentions very little about his true name, but that “I don't care what they call me, so long as they don't call me what they used to call me at school...

Alfred Pennyworth, Bruce Wayne’s butler, enters the Batcave in his typical dress, a tuxedo. “Any updates on the robbery, Master Bruce?” asked Alfred with his sophisticated English accent. Bruce says with a sigh, “I’m afraid not, Alfred.” “Well, I brought you some coffee in case you are down here for a while more.” The butler said. “Thanks Alfred.” Said Bruce. “Always welcome, Master Bruce.” Then the butler strolled into the industrial looking steel-grate elevator, and exited the Batcave.

Batman is trying to figure out what to do, and then he gets hit in the back of the head by Robin. He gets up and then robin says “I’m going to enjoy kicking your ass” Batman then replied with ‘Don’t count on

Batman is one of the many fictional superheroes which appears in the “American comic books” that is published by the DC comics. The character is a secret identity for Bruce Wayne, the only heir to Wayne Enterprises. Bruce Wayne swore an oath of vengeance when he witnessed the death of his parents;Thomas Wayne and Martha Wayne (Diamond, 2015). Bat man combats criminals in Gotham: a fictional city, with assistance from various characters, for example, his butler Alfred and Gordon; Gotham city police commissioner. Unlike many of the superheroes characters, Batman possesses no powers .Bruce Wayne trained himself intellectually and physically .it is from dedication to training he possessed the useful traits of physical prowess, martial arts skills, detective skills and indomitable will to fight for justice. Though his motive is to combat crime and protect people of Gotham city from criminals, the justice system in most of the times views Batman as a villain and vigilante. He can inflict fear to Gotham city criminals thereby bringing calmness to the city. I identify myself with the Batman character through his selfless will for justice, his strong determination to do good

Suppose a person feels that his neighborhood bully is targeting him. The police are ignoring his complaints and he is tired of the harassment. He sees on television that vigilantes like Batman are taking matters into their own hands and standing up to the oppressors. He decides to do the same. He faces his enemy and a heated argument ensues. A couple of punches are thrown and before he knows it the skirmish erupts into an aggressive brawl. He channels all his frustration and keeps throwing punches; one after the other. In a little while, his

Bruce’s physique does not accurately compliment his other half, but rather reflects the perfect portrayal of a dork. If not for the emerald berserker unleashed by rage, you’d have a tragic time believing the walking sack of bones has an anger problem. The definition of a textbook weakling, Bruce has a frail and lanky built, even leaner from his previous years of malnutrition and constant drifting. Without any muscle definition, his 5’10 height appears to be towering – nothing more than a rail.

They went with the fox to the house for “dinner” but as soon as they were inside, they both pushed with all of their strength on the fox, and knocked him out cold against the stew pot. They then dragged the fox outside and into the chicken coop, where they locked the door, leaving the wolf to be stuck in there forever, or until he burrowed his way out. They ran and they ran with no sense of where they were going or what they were going to do. All they knew was that they were going to get as far away from that fox’s house as possible. So through the day and late into the night, they ran. They ran over rivers and through the woods and at long last, they found their home. They instantly ran inside, only to find out that their mother had left their father for a richer rooster, but all the less their father was ecstatic to see them again. He told them all about how they were rich because he had found a leprechaun at the end of a rainbow,and that leprechaun gave him a large amount of gold. They rejoiced with a gargantuan feast and invited everybody in their little village. The feast went on for days and days, until finally, Maike and Jerome and their father all went inside and lived happily, ever, after. The

The most memorable character and one who has a tremendous impact on the audience is Lady Augusta Bracknell. Wilde’s audience would have identified most with her titled position and bearing. Wilde humorously makes her the tool of the conflict, and much of the satire. She serves well the plot and the theme of the play. She is the strong hand who forces the whole play to move forward with a happy ending.
