Mr Wickham Quotes

Judging by reality and fiction, there is not a single person to exist that has been purely evil or purely good. Yet it is in human nature to judge others as good or evil. Elizabeth Bennet, the protagonist of Pride and Prejudice was quick to judge Fitzwilliam Darcy, the second central character of the novel, harshly based on her false assumptions of the arrogance of the wealthy. His initial egocentrism, due to his belief in a structured social hierarchy, caused her to form a prejudiced opinion of him. Throughout Pride and Prejudice, Fitzwilliam Darcy is shown to exhibit both good and evil qualities, although not always apparent to the narrator, Elizabeth. Jane Austen’s portrayal of Mr. Darcy as a morally ambiguous character uncovers the significance of class in English society during the late seventeenth century.

Throughout the course of Jane Austen's novel, Pride and Prejudice, Austen creates numerous couples and presents them to the readers. With Jane Austen as the supernatural mastermind, Lydia and Mr. Wickham, act as counter agents to the main characters, Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy, and help to highlight the positive qualities that Austen crafts with throughout the novel.

In Ken Kesey’s novel “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”, the nurse Miss Ratched is a fine example of a realistic fictional villain. Possession of three key components is essential in identifying what makes Miss Ratched a villian. Motive is what drives the villain to commit the very acts that allow them to be considered evil in the first place, and often drive their entire being as a character. While they must possess motive, they must also have a sense of morals that coincides with their motives (typically evil, or distorted) and follow their moral compass in a way that often causes trouble for those around them. Additionally, a villain is frequently associated with their opposite; the hero who combats them. Kesey’s character perfectly aligns with these three categories of what makes a villain, and it is unquestionable that she is the villain of the novel.

“A villain is a character whose evil actions or motives are important to the plot.” Cinderella is a folktale in which there is a poor, young girl who is always being bossed around by her step-sisters and stepmother. Cinderella is a girl who had always wanted to go to the big ball in which she would get to dress up and attend. Cinderella was always being mocked and pushed around by her sisters.

Every great plot in literature has a victim, villain, and venerable. Over the course of the year we have engaged in several alluring novels and stories that contain some of the most villainous characters in all of American literature. Iago from Othello was a master manipulator who used others to commit his mischievous plans. Abigail from The Crucible lied to save her reputation and get what she wanted taking anyone in her way down. Daisy from The Great Gatsby selfishly made decisions and did what she wanted disregarding the feelings of others. The decisions, motives, and actions of all three characters led to the death of another thus making them a villain. Iago, and Abigail are prime examples of literatures worst villains, but perhaps a character such as Daisy Buchanan flies under the radar with her villainous actions. A great villain allows readers to engage in the text and hope for the destruction of one the evil one and the

Russell Crowe once said, “I like villains because there’s something so attractive about a committed person-they have a plan, an ideology, no matter how twisted. They’re motivated.” The villain’s commitment to follow through with their evil plan is what shapes the story’s plot, which is why they play a very important role in literature. In short stories, villains that are highly motivated and grim creates the best plot that is short enough to keep the reader’s attention but long enough to be considered a well-developed story. The villains Montresor from Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Cask of Amontillado,” and Madame Loisel from Guy de Maupassant’s “The Necklace,” are both greatly villainous in their own ways, but General Zaroff from Richard Connell’s

What defines a villain? Is it a person who whose actions has negatively affected society? Acted immoral? Has done something that is scorned down upon by society? Or is it simply a person who has done wrong in general? Many argue that a villain is “Yes” to all these questions but I believe otherwise. I believe that a villain is not just someone who has done wrong, or acted immorally, but someone who has done those things without reason. The more we think about it, the more we see how unlikely these crimes apply to reality and how much they evade us from the truth of the villain world. The character Macbeth in the tragedy of Macbeth and Jae-Hee in The Girl Who See Smells are two outstanding examples of the misconception of who a villain really

Heros and villains in these narratives are sometimes tricky to determine because of the deeds done that conflict one another. For example, in the beginning of The Tragedy of Macbeth, Macbeth could be considered a hero, but after committing murder he was seen as the villain (Allen et al. 350-382). Murdering someone does not exactly qualify one for hero status unless they happened to be murdering the actual villain. Macbeth was considered the villain due to the fact that he murdered for his own sake and was disparaged by the community after learning of what he had done (Allen et al. 355-358). Being a villain does not necessarily require committing a crime, however.Wuthering Heights’ first villain could be considerably declared as Heathcliff. At one point in the novel, Heathcliff, being the master at the moment, is explaining to his wife of his higher power and having control of the household along with how her manners should be (Brontë). The Canterbury Tales also shows the quality of being untrustworthy through many of the pilgrims. One individual described with chivalrous characteristics happens to be the Knight. The Knight is described through these words, “To ride abroad had followed chivalry, Truth, honor, generousness and courtesy” (Allen et al. 146). These heroic and villainous characters can also be determined in a more simple matter. Heros often tended to be the good characters who stood up for what is right and were helpful which made others hopeful. They also had more lofty traits with extraordinary or supernatural powers. The villains of the stories or poems were often bitter, corrupt, devious, or represented posed threats to society in that era. For each type of character there has to be a specific mindset, creating the desire to represent that thought. Both heroic and villainous characters are carried throughout literature today, but there is something to be said

In many works of literature, some characters are driven by lust, power, hatred, acknowledgement, and greed. Such motivations can be either used to harness good or evil. The composition of an extraordinary villain can bring frustration, suspense, and create a love- hate relationship with the audience. Consequently, a remarkable villain is a crucial aspect of the plot. The villain is a deciding factor as to whether the plot of the story will be compelling or not. A description of a bad guy according to Agnes Repplier, "A villain must be a thing of power, handled with delicacy and grace. He must be wicked enough to excite our aversion, strong enough to arouse our fear, human enough to awaken some transient gleam of sympathy. We must triumph

In Jane Austen’s, Northanger Abbey, John Thorpe and General Tilney are portrayed as unpleasant villains. Villains are defined as, “a wicked or evil person; a scoundrel” (The American Heritage Dictionary http://www.dictionary.com/search?q=VILLAIN). Austen description of both men as power-hungry, easily upset, and manipulative follows this definition. She introduces both characters in separate parts of the book, however simultaneously she delivers a stunning example of their identical villainous personalities. Through the portrayal of John Thorpe and General Tilney as villains, Austen comments on the male supremacy that permeates through her time.

Firstly, Mr. Wickham has the lest self-knowledge: “He believed him to be imprudent and extravagant. And since this sad affair has taken place, it is said that he left Meryton greatly in debt” (Austen 276). In other words, Wickham is spending money that he does not have as well as running off and leave a pile of debt in Meryton. From this experience Wickham had not gain enough self-knowledge to know how to deal with these types of situation plus he should had made smarter choices in life that would cause him to gain self-knowledge and a better life.
