The Family of Pascual Duarte and Dark Knight

The Family of Pascual Duarte is about a man who is waiting for his death in a jail cell. While he waits for his death he tells the story about his family and each of his family members. He tells about his life as being poor and being a Hispanic. He continues to talk about his life throughout the whole book, while he waits for his execution. He was in jail because of the way he acted in his life. He was arrested for his crimes and murders. This is similar to Macbeth in many reasons. He is like Macbeth because he commits murders to people for no reason. Macbeth killed Duncan and Banquo, although Macbeth would argue that he has motive because he wanted to be King. I picked this story because it seems realistic. There are people in the world that do things in their life because they feel as if there were no other option and no other way to survive. Once Macbeth started to kill people it was like he became immune to emotions. Lady Macbeth also had a role in that because she pressured him and persuaded him into these murders. Unfortunately this story does not relate to Beowulf or any other tails we have read because the other tails we have read are more heroic and humane.

I chose the Dark Knight because I have never seen it before. It seems like a good movie but I would not know because I have never seen this movie. This movie seems to relate to Macbeth because there is a lot of chaos in this movie. This movie relates to Beowulf because Bat man is a hero, although they are both heroes I believe that Bat Man is not as vain and as self absorbed as Beowulf is. Batman the Dark Knight was based off of the comic Bat Man. Like Macbeth Batman has a sidekick in a way. Lady Macbeth is Macbeth’s sidekick, she leads him and tells him what to do and makes sure he does not do the wrong thing or get caught. For example when Macbeth killed Duncan he panicked and he almost got caught. Macbeth then had to make sure that everything did not look like a murder, and she had to make sure it did not look like Macbeth did it. Although Robin, who I do not think is in the movie, is in the comic books, he helps him and makes sure he is staying focused and getting the job done. I look forward to seeing this movie.
