Simon also tried to illuminate the children about the myth of “the beast” and dies a horrific death at the hands of the people he

find themselves looking for a savior. While most people turn for Jesus Christ or other religious figures, in the novel, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, by Ken Kesey, the patients of a strictly-run psychiatric ward turn to Randal Patrick McMurphy. Kesey uses McMurphy to create a Christ Figure, or a character that shows allusions to Christ, in his work.

Steinbeck uses symbolism in the form of Lennie to prove that Lennie is portrayed as a Christ figure, or as a symbol of innocence. Lennie is innocent like a child, and he is resistant to violence. The misunderstanding that Lennie undergoes, and the ultimate price he pays for society's prejudice actions proves Steinbeck's application that society misinterprets purity. The importance of the claim that there is a Christ figure, is shown through Lennie and his actions. Lennie “sees the light” and is drawn

gods. Superman: The Christ Figure The first superhero I would like to discuss is Superman. In the Superman comics, we see Superman fighting crime and saving the people of earth form certain doom.
