Character Analysis : Cool Hand Luke

Fear is a common human emotion, but the way some people react is different than others. Although, it is harder on some humans unlike other people. Ralph Waldo Emerson once said,” Fear defeats more people than any other one thing in the world.” I think that means that fear harms more people than anything else does in the whole world. Also that people can scare themselves way easier than normal and it’s not healthy.

In just the course of A New Hope, Luke’s character changes immensely. The critical incident that sparks a change of his

Fear is a powerful human emotion. It can make you do things you wouldn’t normally do, like risk taking and bad choices. Fear can spike your adrenaline. For example if someone was to lift a car off a run over child, that would be caused by adrenaline, which is caused by fear. According to several studies done by physicians

The definition of fear is an unpleasant emotion resulting in being afraid of someone or something that is a dangerous threat. However, fear can come in many forms and affect people in several different ways. Fear is evident in all areas of life. Everyone experiences fear whether the outcome is positive or negative. Fear is no doubt inevitable. For example,whenever you have to present a speech, you may fear ridicule or judgement. Or when you are walking to your car late at night by yourself, you fear many dangerous situations that can happen. According to Mary C. Lamia in “The Complexity of Fear” in Psychology Today, fear in terms of psychology is described as the fear of the unknown, fear of death, and catastrophic fear. Mary C. Lamia has found

Fear can change people in many ways. Three of them are by making people afraid of change, by making them avoid possible death, and also by staying away from what they fear.

We are forced to do what we don’t want to or maybe it is something we want to do. These things only happen because of fear. Fear can either be a dangerous or precious emotion. Fear is, for sure, an emotion that we can not live without. Without fear, we would be mindless machines without a care in the world. Although our other emotions would be heightened, life would not be the same without fear itself. Fear changes what we actually see and feel, it makes us rethink every single thought and decision we come across, and it propels our minds to blame others for something that we originally did. Fear comes into play during many occasions: when you are communicating, when you are in a certain situation, and also during our daily lives.

Fear is a common emotion that humans feel when something that they don’t understand occurs.

Fear is just an Illusion; One that most innocent people can not control. Fear comes to a person when the person does not know what to do and is in an helpless position or in other words insecure. Unfortunately according to many sources a lot of human fear is based on social anxieties and threats. When someone puts one in a situation the person receiving the situation can not control it triggers hyperactivity in the amygdala which causes them to think irrationally. Without knowing what to do these innocent souls end up making the wrong decision and possibly ruin their lives.

Whenever people think irrationally, they often do many things that would not normally seem a reality. Fear is both a blessing and a curse, really. Fear helps people stay out of danger; fear helps people avoid awkward situations, but at the same time, fear

Fear is an emotional response made by a threat, which causes a change in brain and organ function, as well as behavior. It is an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that something or someone is dangerous and likely to cause paint or threat. Usually fear is caused by something traumatizing that has happened in one’s life. In order to overcome fear, you have to face it. Avoiding fear prevents people from moving forward and standing up to fearful things help move past that fear. (Towey)

Fear is an emotion that makes people do things that they would not normally do, for better or for worse. People tend to let their emotions guide their actions as-well-as control their lives. Fear does two things, it can negatively impact people or it can positively

Fear is a crazed emotion that controls the life of anyone it touches. The rollercoaster of fear that many ride, can be the breaking point, or the bounce back part in life. Fear is represented in all stories like in Macbeth, The Leaving, and Warren Pryor. All of these stories have a major impact in the plot all due to fear within the characters. With fear present in the character, it drives them to act ways they would not have.

Another cause for people having fear is the past experiences they have had. Generally, if something bad has happened to somebody, they try to forget about it and/or they try to make sure it never happens again. However, in doing so, they still have a subconscious fear that something similar to the terrible event they’ve experienced may somehow manage to happen again, especially if there are a few similarities between the past event and the current situation. For example, if a man had surgery for his heart to perform better and he nearly died, he may be very reluctant to ever have surgery to his heart or any other body part(s) again.

What causes fear? Often times fear is caused by ones imagination. This is evident in the Edgar Allan Poe short story “The fall of the house of usher” and the movie “The sixth sense” directed by Minight shyamalon. Imagination over comes reason when people are afraid. Imagination overcomes reason when people are afraid.

Fear is something every single human being has at some point in their life. When you are in dangerous, threatening, or scary situations, fear is what your body will feel. It is the ability to identify danger and make a choice to either confront that fear or flee from the situation like for example, if you were to break a vase, you would hide from your parents. That choice is completely up to the victim, and depends on the person. Although fear is handled differently by every person, it is a common emotion that everyone feels. Some seek out to overcome their fears, and seek the feeling of adrenaline they get from overcoming. Others flee the situation and don't think twice about trying to overcome their fear. In worst case scenarios people freeze
