Of course we had to save the best for last. “Arrow” is one of greatest shows of our generation in its respective genre. I could write 10 pages, maybe more, just on how great of a show this is. It essentially started everything the CW is doing with superhero shows. It helped create the spinoff of “The Flash” and “DC Legends of Tomorrow”, which features many characters brewing from Arrow and Flash. The main thing “Arrow” did was get fans excited about superhero shows again. Since “Smallville”, one of the most successful live action superhero shows ended, fans did not think they would ever get another show like it, but they found a replacement in “Arrow”.
Based on the classic comic book character Green Arrow, billionaire playboy Oliver Queen

What “Arrow” does that is so unique and interesting, is flashback scenes. He got on a boat as a carefree, pretty boy billionaire and came back as trained killer. Throughout the seasons, the flashbacks help tell his story on the island and just who Oliver Queen really is.

Carter walks up the dirt hill to the chapel. The path winds through the woods and the roots of the closely grown trees are used in place of stairs. Carter arrives at the chapel. They don’t use the space as often as they should. It is simple with large screen windows, a plain wooden cross, and unadorned altar at the front. They sing inside occasionally, but the campers often don’t care for the building, they find it oppressive. Carter pauses at the top of the hill. Surveying the camp spread out below him,

Arrow never hated anyone before, she enjoyed her life and “stumbled into the core of what it is to be human” (12), she valued life and believed in cherishing every moment of it, but things took a turn for the worse when the war started. In an attempt to live two separate lives. She changed her name from Alisa to Arrow, and instead of cherishing life, she had now ended more lives than she could count. Arrow never even repeated her real name and wanted to forget what her life was like before. The war had changed Arrow, and the belief of hatred and vengeance had chosen her, and there was nothing she could do about it. She was now a different person with different values. As quoted from the book, “I am Arrow because I hate them. The woman you knew hated nobody.” (13). In this quote, the important thing to note is the fact that she used the past tense of know, which is knew. This is significant because it shows that Arrow is no longer associated with her first life and only identifies with her second life. Even though she thought that if she were to use an alias, her second life would have no effect on her first life, but little did she know, the life of Arrow would soon completely consume the life of
Arrow is about a rich, promiscuous young man named Oliver Queen, who becomes stranded on an island for five years before finally being rescued. After his return, Queen becomes a vigilante trying to protect his city, Starling City, against the corrupt businessmen that live there. Before being able to properly assess Queen from a psychological point of view, we must understand his character before, during, and after his accident. Queen suffered from many terrible psychological problems during his five years "alone" on an "abandoned" island and after finally returning home.
In the play “The Crucible”, we have a great example of a tragic hero as a main character. A tragic hero is a main character of great or noble standing that has a tragic flaw will lead to their demise.
A possible theme for Oedipus the King by Sophocles is that one’s blindness can hide the inevitability that is his destiny. Oedipus is in this situation. He struggles to escape his fate: killing his father and marrying his mother and believes he is successful. Sophocles believes that the gpds control one’s destiny and the inevitability that a person will do what is destined despite there hero’s intentions.Oedipus represent the standards of a true tragic hero: he is well known, basically good, his punishment is out of proportion compared to his crime, the audience at some point feels sorrow and pity for him, and Oedipus has a tragic flaw. During the whole story Oedipus thinks that he may be able to change his fate a live life how he wants but he falls to that which is his destiny.For these reason Oedipus is truly an example of a tragic hero and is unable to avoid his tragic fate.
Oliver vows that every person on his father’s list will wish he too had died on that island. Similar to the first episode of Arrow, The Flash has it’s first episode named Pilot as well. It begins with a flashback to when Barry Allen’s, the main character, mom is killed in an unexplainable event and his dad is convicted of her murder… which Barry believes to be untrue. Now, 14 years later, Barry works for Central City C.S.I and is quite good at his job. On one particular night a particle accelerator, created by Harrison Wells and was supposed to change the way everyone thought about physics, exploded releasing an unimaginable amount of dark energy. Lightning then struck Barry, which put him in a coma for nine months. After waking up, Barry began to notice certain things were slowing down… or so he thought. In reality, he was just moving unexplainably fast. When a man named Clyde Martin that can inexplicably control the weather starts terrorizing the city, Barry takes it upon himself to take him down. He speaks with Oliver Queen for advice, Barry knows Oliver is the Arrow, and Oliver tells him that he can inspire people the way he himself never could. Barry then takes on Clyde Martin head on and defeats him. The storylines between the two shows are similar because they both begin by showing what made the two heroes and what made them who they are stemmed from former accidents.
