When most people think about a movie with super heroes and villain they think of a movie about the hero defeating the villain. Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog is not one of those movies. In this movie we see that the main focus is on the villain Billy aka Dr. Horrible. This movie is about him trying to get into the evil league of evil, or ELE, which is a group of the most evil villains in this world, but also he is trying to get the love of his life, Penny, to fall in notice him. The first time she talks to him he is in the middle of stealing a part to power his freeze ray. He is to busy with the heist to pay much attention to her. Right when he is about to get the part we met the “hero” Captain Hammer. He tries to stop Dr. Horrible but …show more content…
So they reason Dr. Horrible is trying to kill captain hammer is because that just what villains do. This is something most people see as negative and they label him with this trait. This would be correct with the dark night but not Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. This movie would be better analyzed by a situational view: the view that our individual behaviors are actually influenced by external factors. In this movie he does many things that show he is not a villain. He shows compassion and love for Penny. When he tries to kill Captain Hammer at the end of the movie he says “No sign of Penny. I would give anything not to have her see”. This shows that he doesn’t want penny to see him actually commit evil acts. Also, he doesn’t really want to kill anyone. When he was first told he had to kill to get in the ELE, he stated that “killing is not elegant or creative and it’s not my style”. When his henchman suggest he kill a little boy who grows up to be president or an old lady he is disgusted by that idea. This shows that Dr. Horrible doesn’t want to hurt people, but actually he just wants to change the world for the better. They only way to do this is become part of the ELE. So the main reason he chooses to kill is because he had been put in situations that lead up to him killing. First off he is a super villain so he must follow the super villain agenda. He doesn’t really want to commit these evil acts. He
This is the first occurrence that goes to change Dr. Horrible and his plan. He never meant to hurt anyone in the first place but now Captain Hammer is taking Penny away from him before he even had the chance to tell her how he truly felt. He feels as if his “Hopes and dreams are crashing into the ground.” And that the “evil in him is on the rise”. His plan becomes more desperate as he feels he is running out of time and options and chances to finally tell Penny, if Dr. Horrible truly was an evil killer you would NOT like someone like Penny. She is the complete opposite of evil; this would mean that Dr. Horrible has good in him because how could he relate to someone that was not evil at all?
In the story of Macbeth by Shakespeare, the main character Macbeth kills King Duncan out of his own greed. Macbeth had wanted so desperately to be king, that nothing would stop him. Macbeth is solely guilty of killing King Duncan, with everything going against him and very little going for him. He had the choice not the kill Duncan, but still went through with it because of stories told by witches, his wife talking him into it, and his thirst to be king.
The screen play of Dr. Horrible`s Sing-Along is a modern-day cult classic that has been expanded to its many viewers. This cult classic was brought to life by the many fans of Joss Whedon and the well-known characters he decided to cast.

I am not quite sure why. He had killed everyone he had set out to, he had accomplished his goal, he had committed his murder. Why would he end it all? The only reason I can think of is that he wanted to create the perfect crime. He wanted for the police to never be able to solve the case. The only way he could have done that was to kill himself. However, this contradicts with him throwing the bottle into the sea. There is no clear answer to this question and the only one that could answer it is dead.
What is a villain? Is it a boulder of hate in a sea of kindness, or a person whose heart and world are filled with darkness? A villain is a person who wants to hurt others or do bad things. The god of the sea, Poseidon from the Odyssey, by Homer and President Snow from the Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins could both be considered villains. President Snow is a greater villain because of his cruelty, selfishness, and him being uncooperative.
So now you know that the reason he was killed jerry. First because he didn't know what he was doing like him laughing or killing him by cutting every limb off. The other reason is because he wouldn't just kill the guy because he didn't like him it was because of the “vulture eye” and there wasn't a “vulture eye” was just a eye but he didn't think so. So he had to kill him for that reason also the last reason was because he would stare at the eye all night at 12 midnight every day for a week then he killed
He told his daughter to accuse George Jacobs of witchcraft, and he kills his neighbors for their land. Revenge wasn’t the only motive, another was greed, and greed was worse.
It's not everyday a person wakes up with the goal of killing an important figure in society. That's why there is so much attraction towards the mystery of assassination attempts and successes. When analyzing a murder, the most common conclusion to the crime is a longing for something better. Caesar's assassins wanted a better life, country, and ruler. John Hinckly Jr. only wanted Jodie Foster, which lead to the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagen. In both cases, the "better" that the killers wanted only offered more trouble than that which was around in the first place.
He has such a low view of himself that he must kill any suitable replacement that has a chance of being more competent than himself. These actions also further the premise that he is inadequate, and would rather find a way to escape the problem than to improve upon it. As a ruler, Macbeth is incapable of maintaining the integrity of the Crown:“Macbeth’s inability as king to suppress his subjects through violence contrasts sharply with his ability as a soldier” ( Kendall 180). His experience as a soldier should have given him a better ability to lead, but instead it worsened his reign. He only knows of violence as a solution because of his military experience.
This killing has opened up an evil inside of him that causes him to want to kill even more and to gain power until it destroys him. Macbeth will eventually run out of power to ensue, and it will make him self implode. Macbeth soon wants to kill even more people, and his life will revolve around gaining power by ending life. He has sold his soul to the devil, and now there is no looking back: “and mine eternal jewel, Given to the common enemy of man” (Macbeth Act 3 Sc 1 li. 71-72).
because he wanted justice, and valued the importance of life. In the last part of the story a line
Understanding evil and how it works is very important and is all over the world and can never be truly explained from one point of view. “Padrica Cain Hill, former bank teller, Washington mother and wife, dresses her three children one morning, makes breakfast for them, smokes some crack cocaine and lets the kids watch cartoons. Then with a clothesline she strangles eight-year-old Kristine and four-year-old Eric Jr. She tries to strangle two-year-old Jennifer, but leaves the girl still breathing softly on the floor. When the police come, Padrica Hill says she loves her children. Why did she kill them? ‘I don’t know,’ she answers in apparently genuine bewilderment. ‘I hadn’t planned on it’.”(Morrow) Morrow gives numerous examples that are both vague and real life events that define evil and how it brings out the good which makes you think that evil isn’t as bad as it seems. “Does the good become meaningless in a world without evil?”(Morrow) Evil is just a matter of perspective and can take any
He will stop at nothing to get what he wants, even if it means killing innocent people. Macbeth continuously makes the wrong decisions, and he doesn't think he needs to pay the consequences for the terrible outcomes. Macbeth says, “Here’s the smell of the blood still; all the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand”, (2.1.42-43). Macbeth admits murdering many different people in this line, and everyone in their right mind knows that killing others is bad. Therefor, Macbeth purposefully does wrong to others, just to try and gain power for
If he doesn’t commit suicide, then he has to get revenge for his father’s death, which he also doesn’t want to do. His ability to act is affected because he can’t
‘Macbeth’ is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare and primarily focuses on the theme of betrayal. Macbeth, initially a noble warrior, betrays his divinely appointed king, and to a lesser extent he betrayed his fellow comrades and country, as a result of his unchecked ambition which utterly corrupts him. The dramatist explores the theme of betrayal by showing his gradual dissent into despotism. This enhances the reader’s appreciation by showing his loyalty to the kings and genuine perennial human emotions along the way, making Macbeth a character that people can easily comprehend. Macbeth is initially portrayed as a loyal subject who’s bravery and nobility is praised by the King.
