Throughout your life you’ve walked past thousands of people. Who knows there could’ve been a chance you passed someone who committed a crime and never got caught or on their way to commit a crime. You could’ve walked by a person who just saved someone‘s life. There’s no clear way of knowing who people are. In the books we have read this six weeks we can come to a closer understanding of people and who they are. The classifications for heroes and villains are what choices the characters and people in society choose. Do you want to murder people and think you can get away? Or do you want to show courage and integrity to stick up for yourself and what you love? Heros are described as selfless to an extent. In Twilight, Edward is selfless when it comes to Bella and her needs, but he also shows selfish traits when it comes to dealing with others, This human trait is seen in most heros.
They are selfish and selfless at the same time when it comes to certain circumstances. “Not all heroes wear capes”, the survivors of Ted Bundy’s shenanigans are very much heros. They were there for each other after everything happened with Bundy. The accomplishment of knowing he was in prison, finding out that he had gotten the death penalty. While on the other hand Villains are seen as corrupt and degenerate. This was shown in Ted Bundy and Jeffrey Dahmer. Bundy and Dahmer were elusive in keeping their crimes secret for years. Bundy was an attractive man who picked off girls. They trusted him because he looked like a nice guy. On the other hand Dahmer was a “scary” man. There were stories about him picking off and drugging guys and taking them home. Both of them were serial killers but only one would have even come close to looking like a suspicious person on the street.
In Twilight there are also “villains”. James is seen as an antagonist who is known as the villain in a book, he did everything in his power trying to capture Bella. James ended up paying the price and ended up being deceased. Most people can partake in both roles (hero or villain). They may be the best citizen in the world. but on the other hand they could be having a crisis and just feel like being the “bad guy”. In society if you do something substandard and get caught you’ll more than likely pay the price. Notice how malefactors will do the most just to get thrown in prison. While the heros prosper and end up winning in the end. It doesn’t have to be a book or movie because it happens in everyday life. Also, another example of heroes and villains are God and Satan. God, to believers. is a savior and Satin is known as a manipulator and so on. God sentJesus to save humanity from our sins. While the devil was pushing us to sin more. In most ways there’s always a protagonist and antagonist.
They both complaint each other. Another example is from the movie Hercules. Hercules is the son of Zues so he was automatically supposed to be a hero. In the movie Hades is introduced, his role was the villain. Hades’ mission was to make Hercules a mortal so he could kill him and take over Olympus. While he failed at that, he wasn’t very precise with his plan and ended up failing. Like always villains lose because they never get anywhere in life. In today’s society we can equate our first responders. firemen, and along with our military as our everyday heroes. In addition, the criminals represent villains simply because they break the law and what not. Without our heroes cities would crumble and there would not be no one to protect us. Honestly. without heroes 0r villains there wouldn’t be any plot in life. No one would get in trouble so there wouldn’t be a need for responders.
There are many different situations where heroes and villains are accommodated, but why? We need heroes to protect us and all that jazz but why do we need villains? In my opinion | feel like they just fit in, in a way. Without villains heroes wouldn’t have a purpose. Yes they would still be there but for what? The way our world works is: there’s people who protect and people who put others lifes in jeopardy. Another example is Batman and the joker. Batman does his best to appropriately deal with all the criminals in Gotham city Mr.bat’s main task is the joker because of all the mischief he does. Without Batman in Gotham that city would literally crumble. Not every hero is able to save the day 24/7 which would kind of be hard even for the best of the best. It’s the thought that matters which is why heroes are so important to humanity. They keep everything running in this horrific simulation.
For me I’m my own villain. and my sister is my hero. Allison (sister) has saved me in unimaginable ways. For example, there have been times where my thoughts have overpowered my mind and I’ve thought about giving up. Because, I felt as if everyone had given up on me. Which wasn’t the case. All of the conversations she has given me to help me not overthink as much. Now we do everything together, our relationship is better than mine and my mothers. Which has helped me become more of a hero and try and save someone‘s life like she’s saved mine. In life you have a decision. Do you want to be there for people or do you want to go against people? With this, heroes don’t necessarily need superpowers to qualify as a hero. Villains don’t need to be evil and try to hurt everyone. You can be someone’s hero or someone’s villain.
