A Character Analysis of Kawada and Kiriyama in Battle Royale Essay

Battle Royale Kawada and Kiriyama, as we see in the beginning, are implied to have volunteered to be part of the Battle Royale. Kawadas motivation to volunteer was figuring out why Keiko said thank you when he had shot her dead. Kiriyama, on the other hand, in my opinion, is a sadist. Kawada tells Shuya and Noriko that they had both placed too much trust on him and then told them there was never a Keiko. He continued and said that he had just made up that story to lure them into trusting him. However, in the end, moments before his death, he revealed he finally found the reason as to why she smiled and that it was Thank you At the end Im glad, I found a true friend. However, he died before he could continue after Thank you. This unknown answer will haunt Shuya and Norikos minds until they try to figure out as to what it means like Kawada had done. Kiriyama is the other one of the two transfer students. As I have said before, he is a sadist. I am not judgmental or anything, but he has shown plenty of evidence that he is a sadist. The first reason (the most important), he signed up for it willingly for fun. What kind of sane person would willingly want to kill people for fun? To add to his already creepy tension, he comes out of a battle with the last of the hackers blinded from the explosion with black substance spilling out of his eyes. The second reason, he always had a mysterious yet creepy feeling. He had not spoken a word throughout the film, and that made him the biggest threat in the class. He had the biggest body count with 12 kills (13 if you include Shinji Mimura blew himself up in the middle...

Character Analysis of Basil Hallward in The Picture of Dorian Gray, a Novel by Oscar Wilde Essay

The main character in The Picture of Dorian Gray, Dorian, is a man too easily influenced by his surroundings. He is quoted as saying, Basil Hallward is what I think I am Lord Henry is what the world thinks me Dorian is what I would like to bein other ages, perhaps (Wilde). This comparison falls in line with the moral of the story because Dorian is stuck with eternal youth and beauty even though he has a wicked soul. This causes different views of him by people who observe his daily life. Dorian is a sponge throughout the novel that absorbs everything and allows it to shape his personality, morals, and actions. Dorian Gray takes influence from Lord Henry, Basil Hallward, and the culture of society during which the novel was written. Lord Henry is the epitome of a wealthy, hedonistic gentleman seeking only pleasure, with little regard to cost or consequence. Lord Henry Wotton outwardly propounds hedonism, but it is his extreme egotism that drives him to manipulate both Basil Hallward a

An Analysis of the Character of Chichikov in the Poem, Dead Souls by Nikolai Gogol Essay

Dead Souls takes place in the Russia of the late 1800s, where, unlike in America, one must be born into a prosperous family in order to have opportunities. The main character, Chichikov, is clever enough to develop a scheme in which he can rise from being a petty clerk to a respected landowner. In order to do this, Chichikov moves into a new town, pretending to already be a landowner, and begins a quest to buy the names of dead serfs who have not yet been officially reported dead.
