Avatar Essay

In James Cameron's film Avatar, the protagonist, Jake Sully, undergoes a change throughout the narrative, this being from an apathetic soldier to person who thinks about and cares for the world around him. Jake is important to us because he allows us to understand the dangers of our actions. This idea is represented to us through characterisation and dialogue. At the start of the film Jake Sully arrived on Pandora searching for a purpose in his life. He states early in the movie saying “all I ever

CLASS: Anti-villain, I guess? Unlike most villains in Avatar, Mai doesn't have any fantastical racism or evil agendas that she's pushing. She's just doing it for shits and giggles. With that, she's capable of working for evil people, but even then, she's mostly apathetic to the job. Once she quits working for Azula, she actually assists Team Avatar.
