Recommended: Joker analysis as a villain

The Joker had an intense role to perform while his mask was on that was totally opposite of his real personality. This was one of the best performances anyone can play in such a crazy character like the joker. The character is very secretive about his life outside of his mask but the mask makes him very fearable. This is a man who has white face paint on, black eyes, and a big red scary smile covering his scars. He got these scars from his childhood moments with his crazy alcoholic father. He was told to “smile more” and was cut with a knife, and uses that same method of interrogation against people. One of his famous quotes, “Do you want to know how I got these scars?” while holding a knife in someone's mouth is the most frightening thing

    626 Words  | 2 Pages

    The book, “The House of the Scorpion” by Nancy Farmer is a 3 time award winner and a fantastic novel in the genre of utopia and dystopia. Matt is a clone saved from the burden of having a blunted intelligence. Evidence from the book supports this was a faulty move. The novel also says why El Patron blunts their intelligence; it's fully out of greed. Overwhelmingly, it seems that these things played a big part in the outcome of the novel, and why Matt is such a interesting, dimensional character in the book.

  • Iago Villain Quotes

    946 Words  | 2 Pages

    Iago throughout the book uses manipulative language to convince characters throughout scenes. However he doesn’t fail, from the beginning he has a well thought out plan, he manipulates people and he has complete lack of empathy which gives him the perfect traits for being a villain. A perfect villain in my definition is someone who can plan out a villainous act and act it out without failure. Iago has achieved this and so I consider him a perfect villain. Although Iago has a few flaws acting out his plan he achieves his goal to an extent in an evil and villainous way such as the failure of murdering of Cassio and his being tortured.

    The first aspect of Willy's character that affected his failure was his pride. Willy's pride caused him to in many situations make very poor and unethical decisions, that affected both himself and his family. An example of this is through the conversation between Willy and Charley “CHARLEY: ‘You want a job?’ WILLY: ‘I got a job, I told you that. [After a slight pause] What the hell are you offering me a job for?’ CHARLEY: ‘Don’t get insulted.’ WILLY: Don’t insult me.”(DOAS: pg x) Willy does not take the offer which is an obvious example of a poor decision. He makes this decision because he sees this generous whole hearted gesture as a kind of pitiful handout that his pride restricts him from taking. By not taking this handout willy puts his self pride infront of

    824 Words  | 2 Pages

    Mania is an excessive enthusiasm or desire, typically with a negative intention, and that is what Roger Chillingworth suffered from. Throughout the novel, he goes out of his way to make the life of Arthur Dimmesdale awful. He tortures Dimmesdale from the inside out, psychologically outsmarting him at every turn. Chillingworth claims that Hester is the reason he has acted so awfully, but it is not common for others to agree with him. In The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, Chillingworth’s deep desire for revenge is understandable, as he was a decent person before he found out about the affair, but then turned into a maniac in his quest to exact revenge on Dimmesdale.

  • The Joker: Best Characterized Villain of All Time

    666 Words  | 2 Pages

    Why so serious? If I were to ask you that question six months ago, you wouldn’t understand the phrase. Now that The Dark Knight has been made though, most people will understand what I am talking about. Ever since The Dark Knight was created, the joker has been thrust back into the public eye. Most people only know the joker from the performances of Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight and Jack Nicholson in the 1989 film Batman. Most people forget that the Joker has been a villain since 1940 in Batman #1 (spring edition). The Joker has been reinvented every decade since his first appearance. He started off as a homicidal maniac, then a criminal that was just a harmless nuisance to becoming a mass murdering, schizophrenic clown that we know today. He has been named number one on the Wizard’s list for one hundred all-time villains. In this speech I will tell you how the joker was created, the criminal career of the joker, and trademark characteristics of the joker.

  • The Joker As A Trickster

    1227 Words  | 3 Pages

    For my example of a trickster I am using The Joker from the popular movie franchise by Christopher Noland “Batman Begins”. I will be using the second movie in the franchise “The Dark Knight” for my example of The Joker portrayed by actor Heath Ledger. The Joker is part of the criminal element that is part of the chief city represented in the world of Batman. Although he takes part in criminal acts within this city he was once a soldier in the armed forces and suffers from PTSD as well as other mental health problems stemming from his service. Through this dichotomy we can see that he was once an agent of justice and now acts as though he is a criminal but states himself within the movie that he is only “an agent of chaos”.

  • Argumentative Essay On The Joker

    1356 Words  | 3 Pages

    Could there actually be someone who truly just does not care about dying or killing innocent people? The world may never know. But as Alfred said “The Joker is a man who isn’t looking for anything logical like money, nor can he be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. He simply wants to watch the world burn” (tyree, 2009). Alfred is right with his small diagnosis of The Jokers behavior. There is something deeper though, it is hard for me to just think that The Joker has some mental issue without a past of some sort, or a traumatization. The scars. Where did they come from? Well, he tells two different stories in the movie. The first story is of him and his father. He says, “So, me watching, he takes the knife to her, laughing while he does it. He turns to me and says, ‘Why so serious?’ Comes at me with the knife. ‘WHY SO SERIOUS?’ He sticks the blade in my mouth”’ (Batman: The Dark Knight, 2014). Now knowing this vital information about his past, a conclusion can be drawn that there are psychological issues that may cause his behavior. Psychologist Sea and Knon stated that, “this can lead to coping strategies of secrecy and social withdrawal” (Sea and Knon, 2013). The Joker withdrawals from society because of his indifferences, mainly with his appearance. The secrecy is behind The Joker, is The Joker. He never gives away his plans
