  • The Lonely City Analysis

    1149 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Book of Common Prayer offers an intercession for “our families, friends and neighbors, and for those who are alone.” We tend to put the alone in this separate category, but for Olivia Laing, “the essential unknowability of others” means that to be human is to be lonesome, at least sometimes. So why don’t we talk about it more openly? “What’s so shameful,” she asks, about “having failed to achieve satisfaction, about experiencing unhappiness?” This daring and seductive book — ostensibly about four artists, but actually about the universal struggle to be known — raises sophisticated questions about the experience of loneliness, a state that in a crowded city provides an “uneasy combination of separation and exposure.”

  • Sense of Duty in the Anti-hero

    1085 Words  | 3 Pages

    Following Morell’s definition of an anti-hero, or more precisely, of an unlikeable protagonist, we learn the benefits of using unlikely leads in our stories to make them more interesting, complex, unpredictable, and insightful (32). She explains how there is a ‘fine line’ in balancing traits that must be kept in order to make the reader feel captivated by the characters. Too much likeability, and the antihero becomes a hero. Too many negative traits, and they become too unlikeable to even relate to (43). Despite of this, there is an abundant number of combinations in character creation for unlikeable protagonists, since the traits we give them can be picked from two sets that are normally exclusive to villains and heroes, respectively. One of the most popular combos is of an antihero whose sense of duty guides all his or her actions. However, what is more interesting is seeing them betray (or adopt) this sense of duty. To understand why it works, this paper aims to explain the often misinterpreted definition of ‘a sense of duty’, and uses two ‘unlikeable’ protagonists as examples as they cycle in their use of moral duty throughout their respective stories: Dan Dunne, from the film Half Nelson, and Helen Farraley from Heathcock’s work Volt.
