In Chaim Potok’s novel The Chosen, specifically chapter 9, Potok was able to symbolically delineate Reuven and Danny’s lives with a reference to a spider entrapping a fly. To start off, Potok introduced the spider in the allegory as Reb Saunders. When Reuven noticed what was going on near him, he recalled seeing the spider and saying, “A spider had spun a web across the corner of the upper rail, and there was a housefly trapped in it now… the spider, a small, gray, furry-looking spider, with long, wispy legs and black eyes, move across the web toward the fly” (Potok 173-174).

In Spider-Man, Peter Parker is forced to overcome these impediments so that he can help protect the people in his city.

When asked what makes the character of Spider-Man so popular, most people would probably say that it is due to his relatability. Peter Parker is just a kid, like all of us are or were, and that instantly makes him accessible to a wide audience. However, I never thought about that when I was a child. I grew up on the Sam Raimi films, which I still hold near and dear to my heart. I suppose I wasn’t smart enough at the time to realize the massive appeal of the Spider-Man character. For me, Spider-Man was just cool because of his colorful costume and his amazing powers. I was just a kid who loved awesome superheroes, and Spidey checked that box. Having graduated high school and preparing for college, I am now more aware of subtleties and nuances in film, while still retaining that childlike excitement for massive blockbusters. I have been anticipating the latest Spidey film for a very long time, and upon viewing the film twice, I’ve realized a glorious truth. For the first time in my life, at the age of 18, I finally related to the character on a deeper level than I ever thought possible, and that is what makes this film shine.
