“The Odyssey”. However, there is one movie that stands out as unique and its title is “O Brother Where Art Thou”. The producers, Joel and Ethan Coen, did a wonderful job in making actor Ulysses Everett McGill represent Odysseus. Everett from “O Brother Where Art Thou” and Odysseus from Homer’s “The Odyssey” are very similar in many ways, but contrast in multiple qualities and characteristics as well. In “O Brother Where Art Thou”, the main character, Everett is on a voyage trying to

During my reading of the short story "A Good Man is Hard to Find", it took me back to the setting and time of the movie, “O Brother, Where Art Thou?”. Understanding that the movie and story have different plots, the three men are what stands out to me, minus the killing. With that, the literary device that I will reference will be the character. The static character device that refers to a “good” man in the story is The Misfit. The stock character device that refers to a “good” woman in the story

The poem “The Odyssey” and the movie O, Brother Where Are Thou were about two men and their struggle to get home. They were similar in many ways, yet they were also very different. Some of the similarities are more obvious and some of them are somewhat discrete. It was a very good way of showing what happened to Odysseus in a more modern way. In “The Odyssey” the main character’s name is Odysseus, which in Roman is Ulysses. Odysseus was on a journey home from the Trojan War. He had a wife named

First there are many similarities and differences between Odysseus and Everett the main characters in the book and the movie. Therefore both characters are very

Coen Brothers used many examples of Greek Mythology from the epic The Odyssey to inspire their movie O! Brother Where Art thou? Homer once said. “ Look now how mortals are blaming the gods,for they say that evils come from us, but in fact they themselves have woes beyond their share because of their own follies.” This quote is a great quote to represent the odyssey because in the odyssey mortals blame the gods for all the bad things that happen to them and it also goes along with the movie O! Brother

In contrast to Odysseus, Everett's view on faith is remarkably different from Odysseus' view. In "O, Brother, Where Art Thou?", Tommy tells the " Chain Gang" that for him to learn how to play the guitar, he sold his soul to the devil. Furthermore, Everett lets Tommy know that Delmar and Pete had just been baptized but he is the only one who is apart from any religious group or figure. This shows that no God, religion, or miracles are believed by Everett. Now in contrast to Everett, Odysseus

Oh Brother Where Art Thou was an interesting, entertaining comparison to the epic poem The Odyssey. Although both stories provide many comparisons, between the main objective of both stories, for the main character to get back to his family in his hometown and overall plot comparisons, both stories contrasted each other in a multitude of ways. Both stories are similar in many different ways. In both stories, the main characters both are on the same essential mission throughout the story; to

Coen, in his film O Brother, Where Art Thou? and Hosseini, in The Kite Runner, immerse their audience in the protagonists’ journey, encountering ideas of religion, politics and race through a range of literary and film techniques. Coen and Hosseini condemn the tangible racial and ethnic intolerance through characterisation, parody and mise-en-scène. Allusion, imagery and humour explore both the comfort and danger of religion while symbolism, humour and historical references expose the deceit and

Odysseus and Ullysseus Everett McGill are similar characters because of their perseverance, cleverness, and their leadership abilities. In The Odyssey, Odysseus portrays an important trait to the story, perseverance. His perseverance really stands out as something that he has and always will have. On his long journey home, he never gives up and just stays where he is, no matter how tempting. He always manages to push through and keep getting closer to his goal of returning home.
