Essay Idea 2

The cultural text I will be analysing is 'Clash Of The Titans', comparing both the original and contemporary version. The essay will focus on the different definitions of a 'hero', what is a 'hero' and how a 'hero' is represented. Critical approaches will address the antagonists (Perseus) in both versions of the film, psychoanalysing their portrayal and how this is reflected in their heroic status.
