Emily Littrell, Kaitlyn Oakley, Landon Sexton, and Mallory Robinson Hubris Emily Littrell, Kaitlyn Oakley, Landon Sexton, and Mallory Robinson

What is hubris? Hubris is defined as excessive pride or self-confidence. Some examples of words that display hubris are conceited, arrogance, and egotism.

Examples of Hubris The Odyssey Odysseus displays hubris when he and his men are trying to escape from the Cyclops. The men give the monster a sedative, and then stab him with a piece of wood in his only eye. The Cyclops is now blinded and he removes the gigantic boulder that was blocking Odysseus’ escape, and waits for the men to move. When the men move, he plans to kill them. The men escape from the cave and retreat to their boat. They escape by tying themselves to the underside of sheep, so they are disguised and are able to sneak away. Odysseus is now proud because he felt that only he beat the giant, and instead of making a silent escape, he starts to yell at the Cyclops. Because Odysseus believes that he was the reason that they were able to get away, his ego got in the way and the gods punished him by not allowing him to return home for 20 years.

Example 2 of hubris Wolf of Wall Street In the movie, Jordan Belfort starts his own investment company, and when it isn't making enough money, he starts to embezzle money. Eventually his company grows to one of the biggest, and Jordan starts to be over confident in the fact that he will not get caught. But his arrogance is ended when he starts getting investigated by the police.

Thesis Statement In the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, Hubris is portrayed through Victor Frankenstein and Robert Walton’s intentions. This shows that arrogance and pride lead you to have unreachable standards, negligence and server repercussions.

Topic Sentence 1 Walton and Victor portray their sisters and themselves as perfect. Margret and Elizabeth are expected to make Walton and Victor feel perfect and they are expected to be perfect as well. Quote: “Now, dear Victor, I dare say you wish to be indulged in a little gossip concerning the good people of Geneva” (Shelley 53). Quote: “And now, dear Margaret, do I not deserve to accomplish some great purpose” (Shelley 3).

Explanation Victor Quote: Mary Shelley uses Vocabulary, Victor only writes to Elizabeth and Victor expects Elizabeth to know everything. Robert Quote: In Walton’s writing to Margaret he expects Margaret to agree with him on everything, displays arrogance and he acts as if he knows everything.

Topic Sentence 2 The creature that Victor made and the journey that Walton took caused destruction to the lives around them because they were only concerned with themselves. Quote: “ “Fiend,” I exclaimed, “ your task is already fulfilled!” I thought of Elizabeth, of my father, and of Clerval- all left behind, on whom the monster might satisfy his sanguinary and merciless passions” (Shelley 162). Quote: “Yet it is terrible to reflect that the lives of all these men are endanger through me.” (Shelley 203).

explanation Victor Frankenstein was so ashamed with the way his creature looked, he abandoned it and it was expected to learn right from wrong on its own. Because it was all alone had no one to teach him, the monster ended up killing many of Victor’s loved ones. Robert Walton displayed he disregard for others lives when he put his crew in danger. The ship was completely surrounded by ice, and could have easily sank, but he continued to pursue his journey anyway.

Topic sentence 3 Both characters portrayed negligence when Victor abandoned his creation and Walton when he neglected his crew members. Quote 1: “Unable to endure the respect of the being I jad created, I rushed out of the room and continued a long time traversing my bed chamber, unable to compose my mind to sleep” (Shelley 43). Quote 2: “it is past; I am returning to england” (Shelley 206).

Explanation Victor Frankenstein didn’t want anyone to that he was the one that created such an ugly monster, so he abandoned it and expected to learn right from wrong on its own. Because it was all alone had no one to teach him, the monster’s morals are “normal.” because Frankenstein’s ego got in the way, he lost many of his loved ones. Robert Walton displayed negligence when he put his crew in danger. The ship was completely surrounded by ice, and could have easily sank, but he continued to pursue his journey anyway.
