The Kid as a Anti hero/Byronic hero - Help for school I have a presentation to do for my English class on a Byronic hero (which is pretty much just an Anti Hero) from any book/movie/story whatever. and chose The Kid from Purple Rain.
Some of the characteristics of a Byronic hero are Characteristics The Byronic hero typically exhibits the following characteristics: * high level of intelligence and perception * cunning and able to adapt * sophisticated and educated * self-critical and introspective * mysterious, magnetic and charismatic * struggling with integrity * power of seduction and sexual attraction * social and sexual dominance (While we're talking about sex, she mentioned that they tend to have wierd sexual issues.) * emotional conflicts, bipolar tendencies, or moodiness * a distaste for social institutions and norms * being an exile, an outcast, or an outlaw * "dark" attributes not normally associated with a hero * disrespect of rank and privilege * a troubled past * cynicism * arrogance * self-destructive behavior These aren't the eaxct criteria my teacher gave me, but she got MOST of them from Wikipedia (word for word, lol) That's what I'm gonna use. So I need ya'll's help. Can you help me find examples from the movie of the Kid exemplifying any of these characteristics? I've already got some of them down, I mean, some are obvious, but any extra bits will help. | |
