Heroes Villains
A Shadow of Sherlock Holmes (National Review Online)

than the villain. Economics may be the study of choices, but drama is its
portrayal.

Toxicity $6.69 System of a Down’s sophomore effort is a musically and lyrically ambitious 14-song collection that’s even more left-of-center and powerful than their 1998 self-titled debut.

Heroes and Villains $24.95 Mike Alsford introduces us to a range of heroic and villainous archetypes on a journey through film, television, comic books, and literature. On the way, he addresses questions such as: What is a true hero? What is a true villain? Have we misunderstood these terms? What kind of societal values do our mythical heroes and villains represent? In trying to understand the extremes of hero and villain we are made more aware of our own ethical standards and given a space in which to explore contemporary concerns over notions of right and wrong, good and bad. |

Heroes And Villains $10.89 Hercules, James Bond, Luke Skywalker, Harry Potter, Buffy Summers, Spiderman, Dr Who, Darth Vader, Voldemort.

Mike Alsford introduces us to a whole range of heroic and villainous archetypes on a journey through film, television, comic and literature. In trying to understand the extremes of hero and villain we are made more aware of our own ethical standards, and given a space in which to explore contemporary concerns over notions of right and wrong, good and bad. |
