What Is Neville's Aggression Effective?

When a human is threatened and the situation calls for it, the human will fight. A person will do anything to secure his safety, it is the basic human thought process, to protect itself and its young from danger. The most recent incident was a few days ago, a man was defending for himself because he felt threatened for his safety when an intruder broke into his home. His human survival instincts made him fight for his safety. Tory L. Jones, a 26-year old man was shot and killed after breaking into someone's home. He was killed in self defense after allegedly intruding a man named, Darryl A. Francis’s home. Jones attacked Francis after breaking down his back door. Jones invaded his territory which posed a threat to Francis. This began as a fight which ended after a gunshot went off killing Jones (NBC4 Staff). So Francis eliminated his threat by killing Jones out of self defence. Francis felt threatened and he defended for his survival. If Francis had not acted in this manner, he would have been the one injured or worse,

All Neville has is himself. If he wants to keep living he has to work hard to keep his home up. He struggles with the motivation but yet he still perseveres. His will to live is often almost non-existent but nonetheless he gets up early and does his daily maintenance routine. He knows that it would be so easy to just give up but he doesn’t and the question is why?

He kills the vampires that surround his house because they are dangerous, even though his house protects him. He kills off the sub-vampires in their homes because they are better off dead and he is sparing them of their fate. Neville even kills his wife when she comes back as a vampire from her grave. He murders her by stabbing a cross into her heart as an act of mercy, out of necessity. Interestingly, when he finds the infected dog, he does everything in his power to keep him alive. At this point, he is so desperate for companionship that he becomes obsessed with the dog. He also keeps Ben Cortman alive, even though Cortman constantly yells at him and aggravates him. This is likely because he is the only person he has left from the past world. Neville commits assisted suicide when he realizes there are no normal humans left on Earth, as he has become the Other. He looks at "the new people of the earth... [and] he knew he did not belong to them." They are afraid of him; he has become a "terrible scourge even worse than the disease they had come to live with" (95) and "an anathema and black terror to be destroyed"

The vampires are determined to kill him but he defeats them by going out when the sun is out, and killing every vampire he finds. If they are able to withstand bullets, he turns to staking them. I think the fact that Neville never showed fear when he decided to go out everyday and fight for his life is one of the biggest sign of courageousness. Although Robert Neville’s fight did come to an end. He was the last man standing, and lost the war against the vampires after a long time. One man versus a whole

Neville understands that these vampires are obsessive about their basic needs as the narrator states, “their need was their only motivation” (Matheson 11). In this regard, Neville is similar to his adversaries as he, too, is obsessed with his needs as a human, specifically for companionship and intimacy. This idea is demonstrated in the beginning of the novel as he is about to slay a sleeping vampire and the author observes, “…but for some affliction he didn’t understand, these people were the same as he” (Matheson 28). Much like Count Dracula, these vampires are driven mad by their thirst and need for blood; however, in Neville’s case, this need can also be characterized by his desire for companionship. In this

Legitimate violence is violence carried out for self defense and or defense of others. This is evident in Goddard’s Cabin in the Woods and in Neil Marshall’s The Descent , some acts of violence carried out in these texts can be seen as legitimate. For instance in Cabins in the Woods, Dana kills a zombie in The Black Room. Marty eliminates the zombie in the grave. Lastly Dana Releases the monsters in the underground prison. In The Descent , Sarah and Juno had to kill in order to survive the creatures and the creatures had to attack for self defense in order to survive the humans. These acts show how horror legitimizes acts of violence.

Self Conflict: This quote is especially important as it shows the disintegration of Neville’s mental state. Neville wishes to die because of all the pain and suffering he feels, additionally his attempts relieve some of the pain but only hide them for the time being. On the contrary, his internal drive prevents him from taking his own life no matter how much he wants to. This conflict shows the purpose of the author of how isolation really diminishes the mental capacity of a human, thus driving deeper into the human mind. It helps the reader understand what Neville is going through after analyzing thoroughly the remainder of the

Both in the novel and film, Neville had no option than to commit

Authors use violence to portray many different things while they write books. Violence adds shock to readers which makes them want to continue reading the book that they are reading. This shock makes the authors have more options to write about and gives them a lot of flexibility, which will help make their writing even better than it already is. To go along with shock, violence can also add emotion to the readers which makes them understand characters even more. Readers may feel sympathy for a character if a someone close to them dies in a violent way. Many authors rely on violence for their success as a writer. In the book How to Read Literature Like a Professor , the author, Thomas Foster reflects on how without the use of violence many writers would be nowhere today. “Violence is everywhere in literature. We’d lose most of Shakespeare without it ...Twain… Fitzgerald...Hemingway...and on and on” (Foster 103). Without the presence of violence, several authors would have no career in being an author. Authors also use violence to make novels be more realistic. Everyone goes through violence in their life and they have some sort of downfall. Since authors use it in their books, it makes the readers feel like the book is more sensible while they read. Violence is used by an author in literature because it adds the element of shock which make readers want to keep on reading, and it adds emotion to the readers so they can feel for the characters.

Their leader is a former news anchor named Matthias. These people still have their intelligence, and they are able to function like humans. They want to kill Neville because they believe that technology and science is evil.

Episode 4: “The Darkness Approaches” Dr.Neville hurries home as he notices the sun setting. As his house comes into sight he sees a mob of Vampires waiting for him. He uses fire, lights and his machine gun to win the fight.

The novel presents a dystopian outlook of a world infested by a vampiric plague which is seen by Neville as the end of individuality and the defiance of communal, evil, and mechanistic subjectivities. Alien creatures often behave not as individuals but as creatures representative of conformity. They share a single mind with no personality of their own, and a human normally combats these creatures (PG#). This ideology found its way into popular culture, particularly into the science fiction invasion films from the 1950s (PG#). Perpetual war between capitalism and communism in the 1950s produced the conformity paradox. For instance, whenever Neville peers out his window and sees the diseased shells of former human beings, they are all terrifyingly looking back with the same thirst for his blood. He becomes aware that his differences are threatening for the vampires and that he represents the “abnormal one now” (Matheson 159). Consequently, the infected humans view him as a threat that must be extinguished for their protection. This perspective shows the “blind social conformity” Americans had anxiety about if the USSR had won the Cold War (PG #). Communism works on imposed conformity which creates a problem for threatened Americans whose national culture is based on holding onto to their individuality as a stamp of patriotism. Neville is victimized by a similar conformity paradox when infected humans of the “new society” view him as a threat to the safety of their future world. The plot reflects a similar story to American’s dealing with the fear of communist infiltration: a single person fighting against outside threats, including conformity and the perils of the “mob mentality” (PG #). Neville’s feelings of isolation and

Violence has resolved many interactions especially when people are planning on solving a problem. For example, the Prince of Verona said: “If you ever disturb our

Your presentation was sleek and easy to read and follow. Horizontal violence is a longstanding issue in the nursing community, but awareness of the issue is now being brought to light. Although, all nurses are aware of what horizontal violence is and its negative impact on the work environment it may have been helpful for you or the authors to include defined parameters. Horizontal or lateral violence has been described broadly as any unwanted abuse or hostility within the workplace (Becher, & Visovsky, 2012). This broad definition encompasses verbal abuse, physical abuse, or even the 'side-eye'. This range of uncomfortable exchanges can be interpreted by different individuals in various ways.
