Analysis Of Jack Sparrow s Pirates Of The Caribbean

An interesting quotation that I came upon describing a trickster is â€Å"A company of wolves, is better than a company of wolves in sheep’s clothing.† In this paper I will be analyzing Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean and the many ways he cloaks himself to gain the likes of his peers while being the definition of a trickster on the inside. I will be discussing him via monomyth, as a trickster, and a cathartic and motivational hero. Jack Sparrow is a main character in the Pirates of the Caribbean series spanning four movies. Throughout the series, Sparrow goes on numerous journeys and faces a multitude of trials and tribulations. As defined on yourdictionary.com a monomyth is â€Å"a cyclical journey or quest undertaken by a†¦show more content†¦After he escapes, he is found in another situation where he wakes up on the Queen Anne’s Revenge and must convince the crew that he is the real Jack Sparrow. Here he uses his tricky and slick tongue to persuade the crew to lead a mutiny. After meeting Blackbeard, he agrees to help him find the fountain of youth, but he is only trying to find it for his own profit. A trickster blurs boundaries of society and does it for his own good. Sparrow blurs the boundaries between being a pirate and doing the right thing. Throughout the series, he can be seen offering to help and then turning it into his own personal gain. In on Stranger Tides, Sparrow acts like he is going to help the king and then turns against him and escapes. Once he arrives on Blackbeard’s ship, Sparrow agrees to help them find the fountain of youth. Once on the journey, he turns to doing what benefits him; thus, again blurring the boundaries and using trickery. Captain Barbosa is another character who uses trickery and blurs boundaries. The rivalry between Sparrow and Barbosa is evident of trickery in how they build off each other to trick others for their own good. In on Stranger Tides Barbosa acts as a captain for the British Navy to find Blackbeard who took his leg from him in the past. Barbosa was only using the Navy to run a ship to follow Blackbeard and find the fountain of youth where he turned back into a pirate with the motive to kill Blackbeard.Show MoreRelatedOrganizational Technology Plan for Disney4238 Words   |  17 PagesCompany, the famed children s entertainment corporation.
