  • Hercules Compare And Contrast

    The movie basically starts off with the muses singing “the gospel truth.” I appreciated how the directors used the muses to narrate some of the plot, so they wouldn’t exceed their time limits, and drop in fill in/ unnecessary scenes. Zeus and Hera give birth to a little Hercules, and Zeus’ brother, Hades, is not happy because he wants to overthrow Zeus and claim his position as the ruler of Mount Olympus. As a result, Hades sends his two minions to kidnap little Hercules and make him mortal by giving him a potion Hades himself made, so Hercules wouldn’t interfere when Hades tries to defeat Zeus. The two minions, Pain and Panic, fail to turn Hercules to a complete mortal, so Hercules still had some of his god-like strength.

    The word protagonist comes from the Greek word protagistes, meaning “One who plays the lead role.” The protagonist is forced to adapt to various conditions, and overcome many obstacles. A separate character or an omniscient narrator usually tells the protagonist’s story, but the protagonist himself can also tell it. While there is normally only one protagonist, there can more than one antagonist. The antagonist is the character that opposes the protagonist, and is usually responsible for the obstacles in his way. One common literary technique that is often used to rapidly change an audience’s viewpoint on a story is the use of a false protagonist. A false protagonist appears to the reader as the main character (the protagonist), but is suddenly removed from the picture completely. This removal is often accomplished by killing the false protagonist.
