A Character Analysis of Myrl Redding From the Western Movie The Jack Bull Essay

Brotherhood is the very price and condition of man's survival. - Carlos P. RomuloMyrl Redding cherishes the law, his rights, family, and friends. Mryl Redding is the type of guy that would do anything for someone he loved. When Billy and he run into any sort of problem they are always there for each other. The relationship between Billy and Myrl are similar to Batman and Robin. It is interesting to why the director, John Badham, created such a character for this movie. Native American Indians werent given the time of day to most. Having a character such as Billy in this film portrayed Myrl to be more sympathetic and caring. Myrl sticks up for Billy and cares for him when Billy is injured. If John Badham was to not have placed Billy in this film, Mryl would have been portrayed as a completely different character to some. The film justifies Myrl Reddings actions by having Mryls right hand man be a Native American Indian. Tollgates are used around the world to create income and to block an entrance or checkpoint. Mryl, his son, Billy, and their horses rode into Caspers tollgate on an excursion to the auction lot. Redding explained to the group that it would cost a fee of ten dollars to get through. Myrl gave him five and left two black stallions as collateral for the other five. When Myrl leaves Billy to make sure the horses are not mistreated the movie begins a different tone. Mryl sells his horses and comes back to find Billy is missing and his horses are starved, diseased, beaten, and near death. Mryl becomes very upset and makes sure that everyone at the ranch knows that he is going to seek justice and wants his horses returned to him as he left them there.

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.
