King Candy Character Analysis

Labels Are For Binders, Not Humans Bad guys can be good and good guys can be bad as well. Stereotypes are not always true. Stereotypes are basically judging people without getting to know them, just because of their religion, colour etc. Never trust anyone because you don’t know who is being real and who is being fake with you. Humans judge too quickly, they do not even take the time to get to know someone. Usually media shows stereotypical kings as nice, a good leader and caring. In the movie Wreck-It Ralph, these theories are challenged when Wreck-It-Ralph (the bad guy) is actually a good guy who saves Vanellope von Schweetz from King Candy and reveals who, King Candy really is. King Candy does not care about anyone, but himself. The character, King Candy’s attitude is the opposite of a typical king because he is a greedy villain, a cruel liar and an evil monster. King Candy is a greedy villain, who wants to take over other games and be the best of them all. King Candy is actually Turbo, who is disguised as a king, so he can be the leader and always be the winner …show more content…

King Candy did not want Vanellope, who is known as a glitch to race in the races. Turbo (King Candy) took Vanellope’s piece out of the game, so nobody remembers who she really is not even her. From then on she became a glitch. (Wreck-It Ralph) Usually a typical king would do what is best for the people he is the leader for. King Candy did not want Vanellope to race because he knew she would return to normal and everyone will remember who she is. He knew she would be the best racer and the leader of Sugar Candy, if she passed the finish line. King Candy contradicts the stereotype of a typical king because he does not want people to find out who he really is, he is Turbo. He was pretending like a good guy but really he was a devil. Even in the end, Turbo (King Candy) turned into a cy-bug, but he still did not let Ralph free

    The character I chose to analyze is Bonnie Grape from What's Eating Gilbert Grape, an American drama film directed by Lasse Hallström. Bonnie Grape is a Caucasian woman who is, approximately, in her mid 50’s and lives in a small town of Endora, Iowa with her four children, and has lost her husband seven years ago. Bonnie who is suppose to be the immediate care taker of all of her kids is shown to have abandoned all of her parental duties after her husbands passing and she hasn’t left the house for seven years. She has become completely housebound she sleeps, eats, and stays on the couch all day. Her day starts out with eating breakfast with the family, and then she watches TV all day. Even though she loves her children a lot, but she does not take any part in raising them. She also has become an object of ridicule or amusement many times children sneak on to the yard to catch a glimpse of her through the window. However, Bonnie sees no problem with her weight or her lifestyle, until one day when she has to make a trip to the town for her son. When Bonnie is leaving the town a crowd comes together around the police station to get a glimpse of Bonnie, and many also begin taking pictures of her. At this point, Bonnie realizes that she has become something that she never intended to be. In one particular scene Bonnie tells her oldest son Gilbert “I know what a burden I am. I know that you are ashamed of me. I never meant to be like this. I never wanted to be a joke” (Hallström, 1993). From Bonnie’s background information we can conclude that she is clearly facing some psychological problems, and in order to gain more information we would have to conduct more assessments.
