dc.description.abstractThis study focuses on the manifestations of ancient mythical heroism in Venom (2018), and compares characteristics of the story to those of hero myths, mainly those from ancient Rome and Greece, using primary literature as well as other approaches to the same topic. The protagonist at the center of this study, Venom, is unconventional and better described as an antihero, or even a villain. A light can be shone on the degree to which characteristics typical for conventional and formulaic heroes can still be applied. It is anticipated that even with a different moral standard and a less favorable public opinion of the hero, many of the characteristics still fit the plot, although the characters and settings might be harder to compare to ancient myth. This study will hopefully open the door to more studies that center around unconventional hero types, and will help broaden the field of comparative studies.en_US
