Archetype


In this thrilling movie, there are many archetypes that can be recognized all throughout the story. The movie starts out with a kid being exposed to a toxic liquid which blinds him but sharpens all of his other senses. He has the advantage over his enemies through his hearing and all the other senses. He fights crime and serves justice. He has a "love" if you will, that is both his friend yet his enemy.
The trickster is a man named bullseye who tricks people into doing his dirty deeds. He does not show himself as a recognizable villian, but he is throughout the story. He is being worked through a higher athority, named Kingpin. He is the evil athority over the town who runs a complex buisness. Electra is daredevil's love yet he fights her not knowing who she really is. The daredevil also uses signs to show that he was at scenes of crimes, but he is always there for the better of things. Revenge stirs up in his heart later in the movie to kill Bullseye who killed his "love".

What movie is this??? Sounds very interesting. Be sure to follow instructions closely so you won't miss any elements of the assignment though.
