Violence can come in two styles, character-to-character violence and other violence. Charachter-to character violence can be done for many reasons, desperation to survive, anger, revenge, love, or for many other reasons. One such situation is found in Fighting By Faith, a story by a friend of mine from Deviant Art. In it, the protagonist is fighting in the last round of an underground martial arts tournament against a overwhelming odds to save the life of someone who kept him from comitting suicide. With the threat of his death if he loses it has the effect of twisting the effect of would be heroism into something more sinister.
An example of violence such as in The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde where Dr. Jekyll is attempting to fight off Mr. Hyde in vain. In this situation, Mr. Hyde is like a poison of the mind, slowly killing off all that Dr. Jekyll once was. Violence of this scenario seems to be a type of violence that is corrosive to a character, slowly warping them, changing them along with the story. -JWG
I find the violence in "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" is a very interesting form. In many movies, people try to kill others in vain, and this is a serious sort of violence that can advance the plot in a various number of ways.
Posted by: James Lynn The first type of violence is character-on-character, when two characters or two distinguished groups of characters fight. This style of violence is the most common; it is included in many fighting animes, and it's also used in books. For example, animes like Dragon Ball Z, Naruto, Attack on Titan, and other more Japanese animes, are mainly based on fighting. Books such as Harry Potter, the Warriors cat series, and other books, have fighting involved as well. Another type of violence is a type of violence without conflict between two characters. This type usually involves diseases or illnesses. For example, this occurs in Dragon Ball Z; in the middle of the series, the main character Goku contracts a fatal heart disease. Goku is killed by the heart disease, creating an alternative future where nobody is strong enough to defeat the Androids terrorizing the world. This creates an alternative time line where one character decides to go back in time in order to save Goku and the future. The most major difference in these two types is the degree of the outcome. Usually, the illness type is fatal, while character-on-character is usually not. This can differ, as character-on-character can be fatal as well, especially when it's near the end of a series or season. Character-on-character deaths also usually occur very quickly, while an illness will kill a character over time. This adds more drama.
Post by: Sofia Ricra Literature includes two forms of violence. The main sort is particular injury inflicted upon characters. The second form of violence is the place the author causes damage to characters to advance the plot. In The Outsiders there are two gangs, the socs and the greasers. They submit the first kind of violence. They punch, cut, and just hurt one another out of revenge and outrage. It takes a couple of deaths of some of their own kinds for the characters to understand the craziness of fighting. The final result is that they develop to be better individuals. The second kind of violence is introduced in Nicholas Sparks novel The Guardian. In Sparks' story, the lady's husband passed away. Sparks motivation to incorporate Jim's passing was to add to the plot. If it were not added that Jim did not die it would lose the importance to end of the story and to Julie and Jim's closest friend relationship. Toward the end, Julie comes to think her dog was her spouse guarding her. This second example was meant to add further details to the plot.
Love the guardian, I think another cool thing about the dog is it was from her husband! He ordered it to show up at her house the first Christmas he was gone, so you could see her reason behind it! Great example.
Here are two of the most seen (by me) types of violence in movies, video games, and Literature.
Type one is gore, gore is used in every shoot em up video game, Jurassic park movie and book, and in every terminator movie, also in any action manga there is gore. To use gore in a piece of literature is not always to have decapitation and splitting of skulls and ripping spines out of bodies, it is not always a arm or leg or even foot being eaten, cut, shot, ripped, shredded, or exploded off of someone, no to use gore you only need blood and occasionally guts, in literature a light amount of gore is slight bleeding or a small puddle of blood, but extreme gore is to use ripping out somebody's spine after cutting off their limbs and then decapitating them only after you split their head open and then to finish it off you can place a small explosive inside of their chest to create a bloody mess of blood and guts EVERYWHERE.
Type two is CQC (close quarters combat), this involves knives, swords, light sabers (star wars!), fists, bronze knuckles, knuckle rings, batons, daggers, maces, pole-arms, kicking, beating, rocks, stoning, tripods, books (jason borne is the reason), cacti, vases, glass bottles, and you get the point. CQC or close quarters combat is combat at close range to mid range in the case of whips and pole-arms, the most obvious use of CQC is the legend of King Arthur he uses his sword to cut off the heads of his opponents in battle, another example of this would be Alice in Wonderland since in one part of the book someone got their head cut off by a ax so it would fall under the categories of Gore and CQC / combat.
Gore and CQC are similar in several ways but the way that they are different is that gore can be caused at close range, mid range, and long range with the works of a sniper rifle or any other gun or with a bow and arrow or shuriken but CQC is Close to mid ranges (it is only mid range with a whip or pole-arm or another weapon like that) so Gore is in a way more general than Close range Combat / CQC.
This is very unique. I guess the combat could be seen as one aspect of character to character violence, but I would say that gore could be better explained as its own motif.
There are two main types of voilence in literature. The first is the specific injury that characters can inflict on themselves or others. A few examples of this type of violence are stabbing someone or punching a dude in the face. The second type of injury in literature is athorial voilence. This is when the author causes a character to die or suffer. This type of voilence is usually used to aid the plot of the literature.
An example of Character to character voilence would be in the Outsiders when Ponyboy gets jumped by his rival group. They are inflicting harm on Ponyboy, but he doesn't die, and it has less of an affect on the plot. It only angers his group. In The Great Gatsby; however, there is authorial voilence. This voilence occurs when Gatsby and Daisy kill her husband's mistress. This thickens the plot of the story because it causes Gatsby to be shot by the Mistress's husband later on.
Perfect examples since I had problems keeping the definitions separate from each other but after reading your post, I had examples that refreshed my thoughts when writing my blog post. Good job
In literature, there are two different kinds of violence. There is character-on-character violence and violence that isn’t presented between characters.
Character-on-character violence is often represented by physical expressions of anger like punching, shooting, stabbing, etc. On the popular TV show series “One Tree Hill,” Dan shoots and kills his own brother, Keith, out of jealously and resentment. This is an example of character-on-character violence. Viewers can actively witness Dan killing Keith and see the act of violence in itself.
The other type of violence, the kind that isn’t presented between characters is also displayed on “One Tree Hill” when Dan discovers that he has a fatal heart disease. Viewers cannot see any act of violence on Dan, but despite close attempts at a new heart, Dan dies from the disease. This is still an act of violence because his character is being eliminated to further the plot.
The main differences in the two types of violence that is found in literary works is its outcome on the story as a whole. Dan killing his brother Keith causes viewers to feel anger towards Dan, after being able to see it happen. Afterward, Dan is consumed by the guilt of killing his brother and the plot thickens. With violence that isn’t presented between characters, like Dan contracting and eventually dying from a heart disease, there is a certain level of sympathy toward him because of the specific type of violence he has endured.
As this chapter stated, there are two types of violence. The first being character-on-character violence, and the second being violence without agency.
Character-on-character violence is represented through physical anger. As stated in this chapter, things like: stabbing, punching, shooting, bombings, etc. On the CBS Popular Series "Hawaii Five-0," Victor Hess shoots and kills John McGarrett, Steve's dad out of pure anger. This is considered character-on-character violence because the viewers of the show can see that Hess openly shot McGarrett.
The second type of violence is one where writers just get rid of their characters. An example of this is in the show "Full House." When Jessie's grandpa comes to visit them in San Francisco, he dies in his sleep. This is considered an act of violence, still, because his character is being eliminated.
These two acts of violence can bring very different emotions on the readers/viewers. The first act can cause them to feel angry because one character took it upon their self to kill another character; meanwhile, the second can make a reader feel sad because that certain character had no control over his death, just as Jessie's grandpa had no idea when he went to sleep he wouldn't wake up.
That episode of Full House was really sad. Another thing that these two acts of violence do is drive the plots, but in different ways. Jesse was forced to mourn the loss of a loved one, while Steve is forced to avenge his father's death.
I thought you had an interesting connection between violence and a readers emotions. In your last example, I noticed how the violence was used to advance the plot. This idea is most commonly used with the second type of violence.
The first type of violence is character to character inflicted that generally happens in the story due to fighting and the second type is out of the characters control and happens for the authors purpose.
The first type of violence for example is driven with physical fighting between characters like in Family Guy with the main character Peter inflicting actions so stupid, one of the characters just punches him in the face out of pure anger. This is not seen to the viewers thinking "poor peter he is so innocent" but viewers thinking in the back of the heads "he maybe deserved it." A great example of the second type of violence would be in Family Guy when Brian gets hit by a car unexpectedly by accident and is killed so that the makers of the show could change it up by introducing another dog called Vinny who is played by Tony Sirico. They played out the experiment but realized the fans liked Brian better. At the end, the character Stewie who is the dogs family friend finds his past self and steals the time machine to save Brian from the car hitting him.
Two very prominent cases of violence we bear witness to in literature are the common, normally exciting character on character violence and then the normally emotion provoking violence without agency. Literature is often lined with ruthless examples of how characters strive to eliminate one another by numerous means in an attempt for power that normally excites the audience; contrary when violence is left without agency an opposite effect is left on the audience. This second type is normally meant to pull on our heart strings as one of our favorite characters our slowly drained of life of life or met with an unexpected, swift end.
Two examples that come to mind when comparing the types are the Hat Gang from "The Good Thief" and the crewmen in "The Stowaway". The Hat Gang are sent after our group of thieves when they hear word of some neerdowells digging up graves. A chase soon breaks out with our wagon of sticky finger grave defilers being endlessly pursued by a dozen trench coat men wearing top hats. The violence begins by the wagon's horse taking a shotgun to the skull. The wagon spirals in to nearby ditch, and soon they are left at the Hat's mercy. The driver gets relentlessly beaten, the second in command get both of his legs broken, but the children were not harmed in their arrest. We leave the scene with the two men getting drag behind horse's to a mousetrap factory; needless to say this upset all the book's predecessors and pushed the story into a dark well of plot. The reader saw just how extreme our antagonist was and awakened to just how bad the thieves world was about to get. Our second example leads us down the seas south of Africa. a poor young boy witnessed the greater half of the remaining crew catch scurvy. Being so far away from home, their only savior was death. The boy was left with survivor's guilt yet unharmed by the monstrosity. Both types left great impact on the protagonist, but the severity differed. Yes, both scenarios left protagonist in a powerless state, but The thief had his friends survive. Our stowaway was not so lucky. The first situation invoked adrenaline and fear into the audience, and the second wanted us to feel loss. Violence never seems to end well in novels and normally leaves our hero's in a husk that only time can heal.
Posted by: Caleb Costner The two types of violence that can be show in literature is, character vs. character and violence that is not between characters at all. In my own words 'The author killing off a character'.
1. Character vs. character violence is violence that has two characters insulting, punching or even killing each other (plus other acts that I did not state). The first situation of these is in "Genesis Ch. 4" from the Bible, where Cain killed Abel by taking him to a field and killing him. Cain did this out of jealousy towards his younger brother. Readers are able to read this and see that Cain killing Abel was the act of violence itself.
2. Killing off the character is another form of violence when the author allows the death of a character. The second situation of these is in "Genesis Ch. 4" of the Bible, where after Cain killed Abel, God allowed Cain to wander the earth, and applied a mark on Cain and allowed him to never be killed by the hands of another. After God did this He shunned Cain away from himself never allowing forgiveness. (No this is not exactly the same, but it can still be considered the same act of violence because the act of shunning someone away is basically killing them off from the story.)
The main difference between these two acts of violence is how it is portrayed in the story. Just like in character vs. character, Cain killing Abel gives the reads the since of hatred towards Cain. With killing off a character, such as God shunning Cain after what he did to his brother, the readers almost find sympathy towards Cain, after what he did.
By: Hannah Berckman Violence is common in literature even if we don't know it. There are two main categories of violence in literary works. There is character on character violence and there is nonphysical violence.
Character on character violence is very common. This type of violence is when a character is shot, stabbed, crushed, etc. by another character. An example of this is in The Hunger Games, Rue, the girl tribute from District 11, was killed by Marvel, the boy tribute from District 1, by a spear to her abdomen.
Nonphysical violence is when a character passes due to an illness or disease. In The Fault In Our Stars, Augustus Waters is plagued with osteosarcoma and sadly passes away. This is a good example of the second type of violence.
These two types of violence are different because one, character on character, is intentional while the second is unintentional or unplanned.
Hannah's, Adison's, and Sofia's post are right on the spot. No one was expecting Augustus to die. I my self was heartbroken, and I was not expecting his death. ~ Caleb C.
There are two types of violence in literature, one being character vs. character violence, and the other being authorial violence. The two may be very different, but they are both violence.
Character vs. character violence is physical violence inflicted on a character by another character. An example of character vs. character violence can be seen in almost all literary works. In the popular television show The Vampire Diaries two of the main characters have it out almost instantly. Within the first episode viewers see two brothers fighting over a girl. Not in a way we might think though. The brothers are fighting because one brother wants to drain her of all her blood.
In this same series we can also see authorial violence. I'm not going to give any names, for the sake of others not wanting the whole series spoiled, but I will give the basics. One character, we're going to call it "Blank", wanted to leave the show after six seasons. The author of the series decided to kill Blank off by placing it into a coffin, but Blank was under a spell which put her into a deep sleep. This character is likely not to reappear until the series finale, so it might as well be dead.
I love your examples of violence and I also love how you included weather it be character vs. character violence or authorial violence they're both violence. One more thing I like is I know who blank is.

There are two types of violence found in literature. First, there is the specific injury a character chooses to bestow upon themselves or another character in the story. In “The Carrie Diaries,” Carrie Bradshaw happens to be moving to Manhattan, New York for the Summer. Upon one of her first nights of being there, she decides to set her purse down on the ground while waiting outside a club. Suddenly, Carrie looks down and notices that her purse is gone! Because what person doesn’t set their purse down outside a club after midnight in Manhattan? Her character chose to make a stupid move, and as a result of this, she lost the purse that held her money, keys and personal belongings. This created an advancement in the story, however, due to the fact that since Carrie was now without a purse and keys to her apartment, she had to make her way around the unfamiliar town of New York and befriend a bartender that had sneaky ways of getting Carrie into her apartment. Also, as a result of this, Carrie had to lend a room to her new bartending friend that definitely overstayed her welcome.
Second, we have the narrative violence in which the author brings down upon characters in order to make the story more interesting (typically if something dull is taking place). In “The Hunger Games,” the Game-Makers decide that there is a dull moment within the game. The moment is quiet, there isn’t a lot of killing or fighting happening, and viewers of the television event are getting bored with staring at the screen. So, the people controlling the game decide to spice up the game a bit by throwing huge balls of fire at Katniss, which she has to run away from in order to keep from burning to death. These balls of fire were lunged at Katniss in order to make the story more suspenseful for viewers who were losing interest. Instead of killing her, as the game controllers expected, Katniss made it out alive and made the games more interesting by showing the strength and agility that she could offer.
Wow I never though of that in The Hunger Games with the Game-Makers deciding the dull moment, great job on caching that. Interesting example with The Carrie Diaries which is a great example since it fuels the plot.
Posted by Maria McDonald: In literature, there are two major types of violence. The first type is the one you typically think of when you hear the word violence, character vs. character. It's when a character causes physical harm to another character or themselves, such as stabbing, shootings, drowning, bombings, etc. This type of violence involves there being a guilty party, someone who was involved in the harming. An example of this type of violence would be in JK Rowling's "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows." After preparing himself for the moment for many years, Harry finally has his chance to fight Voldemort at the Battle of Hogwarts. There are wands and spells being thrown everywhere until Harry finally lives up to his purpose, taking down Voldemort. The whole story could be based around the idea of characters harming each other, or there could be narrative violence just to make a plot advancement. Narrative violence is the second type of violence in literature. It is where the author causes harm to the characters without any specific character being responsible for the harm. It's used to make action happen, cause complications, or put the characters under stress. The difference between character vs. character violence and narrative violence is that the harm done in narrative violence are virtually meaningless. Its only purpose is plot advancement. An example of narrative violence would be in Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird." Mrs. Dubose is a neighbor that always threw insults at the other characters when they passed by her house, even if they were nice to her. In chapter 11, she dies. She was a morphine addict and she always wanted to stop before she died. This advanced the plot because it added a little action to keep the story going.
Posted By: Anna K-S There are two types of violence, the first is violence without influence from another being, the second is character on character violence. Violence without influence from another being is to further the plot of the literature such as a character dying a natural death. Character on character violence is exactly what it says, it’s when a character(s) fight another character(s) including fist, guns, knives, etc.
An example of violence without influence from another being is in the movie “The Last Song”. In “The Last Song” the daughter Ronnie is forced to live with her father Steve, Ronnie didn’t want to live with him, therefore, her and her father start off on a rough patch. After a while Steve and Ronnie begin to bond over music and the little baby sea turtles, but when Steve goes to get a flashlight he passes out, later in the hospital you hear Steve has lung cancer. Ronnie is devastated by the news of her father's disease, thus, staying to live with her father and finish the song he was working on. Violence without influence from another being helps people appreciate what they have as shown in the example from “The Last Song”, you can see that it helps people appreciate what they have because Ronnie in the beginning was very disrespectful to her father and didn’t want to live with him but in the end she was nice, wanted to help, and live with her father.
An example of character on character violence is in “Arrow” a TV series. There are many episodes and scenes with character on character violence but one in particular is “The Climb”. In “The Climb” Oliver climbs to the top of a mountain to fight Ra’s Al Ghul in this fight there are fist and swords, Ra’s and Oliver fight until Oliver is “dead” then the fight is over. Ra’s and Oliver were fighting because Oliver wanted to save his sister's life. With character on character violence the characters are fighting for a reason, character on character violence in literature is for a reason, characters don’t walk up to other characters and fight them for no reason in books/movies.
In literature there are two types of violence: character vs. character violence and character vs. outside force. Character vs. character violence is when one character does something physical to hurt the other. Character vs. outside force is typically an illness that the character gets, that the author uses to deepen the plot.
In the television show “Teen Wolf” you can see a lot of character vs. character violence. There always seems to be a point in each episode when the Argents go after any werewolf they can find and try to kill them.
Character vs. outside force is also seen on “Teen Wolf.” One of the main characters Stiles learns that he has Frontotemporal Dementia, which is an incurable brain disease. His mom had passed away from this when he was younger and now his father has to deal with the fact that his son might die as well. This caused a real emotional toll on the people watching, but I never thought of it as an act of violence before. -Piper Colangelo
Post by: Hannah Cribby In the book it talks about the different types of violence. In the book it states that "violence is one of the most personal and even intimate acts between human beings" (Foster 88). In 'Catching Fire' Katniss Everdeen and all the people chosen to compete had to kill one another until they had their victor. This was violence for survival. The whole movie is about survival and rebellion against the Capitol because people are starving and being mistreated. Another example would be in 'Mockingjay' when President Snow shows signs that he is dying from some sort of disease. Those are my examples of violence in literary works.
This is a great example because Catching Fire is about killing, and killing a violence that people do to each other. This post also opened my eyes to see that when Snow was dying it is an ironic twist to him, because of what he did to the districts. ~ Caleb C.
Violence in literary works can have very different effects on the storyline. Two of the dynamic differences are found in New Moon by Stephenie Meyer and in The Lord of The Rings movie trilogy. In New Moon, the violence throughout the book is actually in response to the lead male, Edward, leaving the lead female, Bella. She does dumb things that ultimately inflicts pain upon herself. The outcome of this is Edward believing that Bella is dead and Bella having to find him to save him from himself. In The Lord of The Rings, there is action and violence constantly taking place. This is a result of a lot of things throughout the storyline and it causes even more violence. In a series like these, the violence builds off of each other to generally create a grand scene that consists of a war or huge amount of violence.
Violence in literature is something else, like metaphors. there is two types of violence in literature and they are: violence caused by others and violence that is out of the hands of the characters.
In Supernatural, there are demons that are causing the violence to others. They do things like killing people, possessing them, torturing them, etc. Sam and Dean are trying to control the demons and stop the apocalypse but it might be out of their hands. It is out of the hands of people who aren't demon hunters.
Posted By: Adison Costner There are two main types of violence in literature. These two include violence between different character and the other type is more of an emotional violence.
Character: Character violence is easy is see in tv shows and books. Some actions of this violence include punching and hitting. This violence is most commonly found in action shows and books. For example in the show “The Walking Dead” you can find a lot of character violence. Rather it is hitting and killing zombies or hitting people. This show has a lot of violence in it.
Emotional: Emotional violence is typically found when someone dies in a tv show or book. Though the character may have not been killed by another human, it is still considered violence. If a character dies in their sleep,if they die from a heart attack or some illness, then this would be what we consider emotional violence. An example is in the book “The Probability of Miracles?” the main character Cam dies from cancer in the end. This is considered as an act of violence because it killed of the main character.
I hate when authors kill off the main character. Don't they know that we have read three hundred and forty five pages that brought us closer to the main character? Great examples, I love The Walking Dead.
There are two different types of violence in literature. First you have character to character where violence occurs between the character, this type is most common. The second type is violence that does not involve characters hurting one another, rather the author adding it in to build up the story, or to lead up to the true meaning of something. An example for the first type of violence is the movie The Blind Side. After running away from Leigh mad because he thinks Leigh and the family were only helping him so he would go to Ole Miss. Michael finds himself at his real family place. They start to bug him about the apparent change in him, nicer clothes, clean, doesn’t want a beer and he looks like he is going somewhere in life. They try to rile him up, talking about Touhy family and if he is messing with the daughter, etc. Michael gets mad and finds himself acting like the old him punching the guy, which ends up hurting a baby. Realizing what he has done Michael runs out of there and calls Leigh. Michael realizes how his life was then and how he doesn’t want, no is he that way anymore. I believe the violence was an eye opener for Michael and gave him more motivation to keep moving forward. An example of the second type of violence is The Fault in Our Stars by, John Green. Augustus dies and Hazel realizes that she would take that “grenade” because she couldn’t imagine her life without Augustus. Hazel realizes as Augustus finally did when he talks about getting to choose who hurts you and the scars left behind. This leads her to find closure about her fears of leaving her parents and everyone she loves behind. As she feels with Augustus the pain of not having him there with her sometimes feels unbearable, but she would chose it a million times over never knowing him.
Present examples of the two kinds of violence found in literature. Show how the effects are different. In literature, there are two different types of violence. The first type of violence occurs when one character in the book harms another. The second type of violence is known as narrative violence. Narrative violence just causes characters harm in general.
When I think of the first type of violence, I think of horror movies. For this example I will be using the film “Bride of Chucky”. In this film, harm is caused to other characters by Chucky and Tiffany. These characters cause harm by stabbing, drowning, and poisoning their victims.
When I think of the second type of violence, I automatically think of the film “ Life as We Know It”. In this film, the parents of a child die which then advances the plot and leads to their mutual best friends taking care of the child.
By: Ling There are two king s of violence found in literature. The first kind is the specific injury cause by a character and the second one is authorial violence or violence the author use for plot advancement.
An example of the first violence is in the TV series "Supernatural". In the TV series, the monster would torture, kill,shoot, and stab the victim.
An example of the second kind of violence would be in the book "The Red Pyramid" when in the beginning, the two main charater's, Sadie and Carter, father died and because of that, it advances the plot and Carter and Sadie were able to save the world.
I liked your example of Supernatural. The violence in that show is used to add drama. On the other hand, the violence in the Red Pyramid is used to advance the plot.
By: Kalynne Helms Violence. Violence is behavior involving physical force intending to hurt another. It´s not a very good thing but there is bound to be some in every type of literature. Literature violence can mean many things. It can be symbolic, romantic, and many other things but there are two kinds. There is the injuries that characters cause to themselves or others, and the narrative violence that causes character general harm. The first example I have is Harry Potter. Throughout the Harry Potter movies, there is all kinds of violence but I want to focus on the very last battle. The very last battle was the biggest of them all. It was the Hogwarts wizards versus Voldemort and the bad wizards. The wizards in that battle caused harm to other wizards and some even left the other wizards dead. Character vs character and the second example is from the movie New Moon. Harry Clearwater dies of a heart attack while out on a hunt. It doesn't make a difference to the story whether he died or not but the author made it happen to increase or advance the plot.
Violence in literature is used to advance the plot and create drama. In literature, there are two types of violence, violence inflicted by a character onto another character and the violence caused by the author onto a character.
The most common type of violence is character on character violence. This usually consists of a fist fight, shootings, or even a hit and run. I have seen this idea of violence reflected through the television series Arrow. In the series Oliver Queen is the vigilante, Green Arrow. As a vigilante, he spends most of his time fighting criminals. He fights and stops them so the police can safely lock them away.
In some cases, the author will actually inflict violence onto a character through things, such as disease. I have seen this through the fairy tale Cinderella. In the beginning of the story, Cinderella lives with her kind and loving father. Shortly after remarrying to an evil woman, he dies. The effect of this type of violence advances the plot. The evil stepmother finally shows her true evil colors as she treats Cinderella as a slave. All this happens so in the end, Cinderella finds true love and happiness.
Violence is used in two ways, character to character violence and author to character violence. Both types have very different effects. In most cases, Character to character violence does not end in death, it is merely used to add drama. Violence from the author more than likely ends in death. This violence is used to advance the plot and add to the story.
There are two different types of violence: Character vs. Character and other violence.
Character vs. Character is generally more idealistic or a confrontation of principles, but some of the time it is due to anger, love, jealousy, or downright survival. This type of violence is over more quickly and thus is normally built up to more. One example of this is in the book The Hunger Games, the actual games (a fight for survival between 24 teens) are built up to for almost half of the book, in order to make the actual fight for survival (the entire second half) that much more intense.
Contrasting this, other violence is when a character has to fight an illness. This does not really need to be built up to, because the illness generally builds itself up as a threat as the illness gets worse. This tends to affect the character’s loved ones differently, because they cannot go for revenge (which is ironically more character vs. character violence).
One might think that this makes other violence much more emotional, but they can both be very emotional or not emotional at all depending on how well the characters are set up by the author.
The two different types of violence in literature are the injuries characters will inflict on other characters. West Side Story is a good example of this. There are two gangs, The Jets (White American males) and The Sharks (Puerto Rican males). Tony, who is from the Jets, falls in love with Maria, who is the sister of Bernardo, the leader of the Sharks. Tony kills Bernardo, and Chino (Bernardo's friend) finds out and looks for Tony so he can kill him. Tony goes to Maria and proclaims that they can run away together and he wanted her to meet him at Doc's. Anita (Bernardo's Girlfriend) realized how much Maria loves Tony, so she admits to Maria that Chino is looking to kill Tony. Anita goes to Doc's to tell Tony to wait and not leave yet. The Jets had congregated at Doc's and they taunt Anita with racial slurs and other harmful things and it makes Anita mad. She tells them that Chino has shot Maria dead because she was so furious. Doc tells Tony, and Tony becomes heartbroken, so he goes to find Chino to tell him to kill him. Just when Tony sees Maria alive, Chino kills him. The Jets get ready to attack the Sharks, but Maria picks up the gun and says, "All of you killed Tony and the others because of their hate for each other, and, now I can kill too, because now I have hate!"
The next kind of violence is more meaningful and deep than the first. It is when the author has someone die. In To Kill a Mockingbird, Ms. Dubose is old and dies. This is important because it develops the character, Jem. Sometimes death or loss is necessary for the plot to continue in a story.
The two examples of violence in literature is: a) Character-on-character: This violence is more physical between the characters. For example, in a episode of Grey's Anatomy Meredith Grey and Callie Torres, the orthopedic surgeon almost got in a physical fight over something that had spread around the hospital. Dr. Torres came in and got physical with Dr. Grey. b)The other type of violence is the kind where the author gets rid of a character. An example for this would be in Grey's Anatomy when Dr. Shepherd was on his way to the airport for his flight back to Seattle but on his way there he got in a terrible car accident and passed away in the hospital.
Elizabeth Suarez. The two types of violence in literature are narrative violence and violence/injury the author causes their character to visit. With the first type of violence, narrative violence, it would cause harm to the characters. Now with the second type of violence, it would be causing characters to visit violence or injuries within or with each other.
The first type of violence effects a character because the author causes it and it can also cause an advance in the plot. The second type of violence usually effects a group of characters or even just a couple. It shows the character or multiple characters being physically hurt.
The two kinds of violence found in literature are the specific injury that the author cause the characters to visit on one another or themselves, and the narrative violence that causes characters harm in general. With the first kind of violence, a character is harming another character or themselves, which is the most common form of violence. The second is the author inflicting the violence on the character. An example of the first type would be the fight between Rocky and Clubber Lang in Rocky 3. It is straight up character on character violence. An example of the second type would be when Uncle Ben dies in Spiderman. It simply exists to affect Peter and causes him to go into crimefighting.
The two kinds of violence are character on character violence and narrative violence.
Character on character violence can be anything a character does to inflict harm on another or themselves. This is a major element in Superhero stories, for example, Batman. His purpose in life is to protect Gotham City from wrongdoers and avenge his parents. He constantly fights villains to protect his city, like the Joker. They are always fighting but because Batman doesn't kill he is trapped fighting the villains who reside in Gotham over and over.
The second type, narrative violence, is anything not caused by a character. In "The Walking Dead" the zombie virus is an example of this. It is the main element of the plot, what started the outbreak. It takes over many characters throughout the series as they succumb to it and can cause disasters for other characters.
A frequent source of brutality in all literary work is the violence between one character and another. In the story Blacklands by Belinda Bauer, a man kidnaps, rapes, then kills children. Not a pleasant story at all, but it demonstrates the violence one character can inflict on another character or several other characters within a story.
The other kind of violence is the violence put forth by the author and is for the progression of the story. I have seen numerous literary works use violence against a character's love one to help with character development, set the plot for the work, or create rifts within the story.
One of the two types of violence is “character vs. character with conflict” and the other is “character vs. character without conflict”. Character vs. character with conflict would be like the anime Fairy Tail, Sword Art Online, or Durarara where there is face to face action. In Fairy Tail Natsu fights with physical magic, in SAO they fight with swords, and in Durarara they fight with fist. Character vs. character without conflict would be like in episode one of “The Death Note” where the person’s name that is put down, the other person does not know and within 40 seconds they die of a heart attack.
The first type of violence is character vs. character violence, in which two people from the story are at odds with one another. One example of this is in “The Inheritance Cycle” when Eragon and Murtagh are in a battle with each other. These types of battles are often very physical and can result in the bodily harm of any of the people involved. This type almost always causes physical harm. Another type of violence is a character vs. inside or outside forces not from another character. An example of this in “The Inheritance Cycle” is when Eragon needs to control another character and in order to do that he needs their true name. The other person does not know their true name and so cannot tell him. Because of this, Eragon has to think about what kind of person the man is and discover who he really without help from anyone else. This type almost always causes a positive or negative change in mentality. All types of violence are similar in the fact that they have a possibility of causing mental and physical harm to the people involved in the conflict. Someone who participates in a war can come out of it with crippling PTSD just as easily as someone that struggles with depression can succumb to the problem and take their life away from the ones they love.
By: Parth The two kinds of violence in literature are The violence the characters inflict upon themselves or another character. The second type of violence is when the author uses violence to advance the plot of the story. An example of the first type of violence is found in the book "And Then There Were None." In the novel the characters try and protect themselves against a person who is set on trying to kill them. Eventually General MacArthur dies when the villain pushes a marble bear clock on him. An example of the second type of violence is found in the novel "The Grapes Of Wrath by john Steinbeck." In the novels Grandpa Joad becomes ill and dies of a stroke.
There are two types of violence the type where it's physical like an fight in between friends or enemies and their scars and blood is visible and the type where it emotional where the only pain is found in their own head or because of mental medical problems. The effects are different because when it’s physical it’s in between two characters the way you can tell this apart is first of all well there's two characters and usually if it's a book it uses a lot of imagery. When reading this type of violence you’ll see the words” blood” or “punch” there's a lot of action involved as well. The second one gives off a more emotional appeal and really gets to the reader. Usually when it shows violence to the person itself it uses a sad background as the reason why the person is violent to him or herself it could mean medical or just plain emotional -Stephanie Martinez
There are two different types of violence found in literature and they are either out of the hands of the characters (narrative violence) or directly caused by other characters (character to character violence). Narrative violence happens to a character in order to develop the plot. An example of narrative violence would be from William Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet”. Romeo mistakenly thinks Juliet is dead and commits suicide to be with her. This was used by the author to thicken the plot of the story. An example of character to character violence can be found in the literary work, “The Outsiders”. The book consists of shootings and stabbings which directly inflict violence on the characters.
- Alicia L. M. - In literature there are two main acts of violence. One of the act of violence is character on character violence and non-physical act of violence mainly occur through an illness. Violence is used in almost all types of literary work even if we do not seen as an of violence most of the time, but it is.
Character on character violence is most often witness in scary, action, and sci fiction movies, books and tv shows. This type of violence is when a character is involved in the hurting or killing of another character. In “The Walking the Dead”, Beth a young girl gets shot by a police women for not doing as she stated.
Non-physical violence is a act of harm done by an illness, the director, or writer. The type of violence is seen in many different types of films, tv shows and movies. In “Hachi: A Dog's Tale” a movie about a loyal dog to his owner, Parker Wilson there is non-physical violence. Parker Wilson dies of a heart attack and never returns to his dog, Hachi.
The different effect these two type of violence have on it’s reader or viewer can at time be very different. Character on character is mainly questioned by the reader or viewer due to the fact that maybe a unlike character kills one of the most liked characters. This to the viewer creates anger and sadness. One the other hand non-physic is sometimes more easy for the reader or viewer to deal with due to the fact the there really is not anyone to blame for, except maybe the writer or director. But, most of the time a writer or director kills a character off the show or novel because they have to. Both of this types of violence do have a painful and sad effect on the viewer or reader.
In the literature, two main types of violence are used.
Character to Character is when violence occurs between the two. Ex. Fights On the other hand, there can be events that take place that hurt the characters emotionally but no one gets hurt physically.
Character to Character
White Fang is a story about men and the there pack of dogs that go sledding. However at night the dogs are lured into their death by a she wolf. White fang kills the sled dogs by biting them around their neck. This is a perfect example of character to character because we can see an act of violence .
Emotional Violence
The truth about forever by Sarah Dessen is almost exactly like the movie grease. However, at the beginning of the novel Macy’s father goes about his day like he always does, but unexpectedly has a heart attack and dies at the scene. This is a great example because no one caused this to happen, it was just a natural way of dying.
Present examples of the two kinds of violence found in literature. Show how the effects are different.
Coldest Winter Ever
1. Character to Character Violence Winter and her friends jump a group of girl. They put razer blades under their tongues and cover their bodies in lotion. They win the fight but this shows how ruthless they are.
2. Character vs Self Violence Winter becomes pregnant but she isn't sure if the father of her child is truly the father so she aborts the child. She feels no emotion towards her actions but the things that come after her abortion show the self hate and self violence she inflected on herself.
These examples of violence in my opinion are very similar because in both examples Winter puts herself in danger for no reason.
Violence can come in two styles, character-to-character violence and other violence. Charachter-to character violence can be done for many reasons, desperation to survive, anger, revenge, love, or for many other reasons. One such situation is found in Fighting By Faith, a story by a friend of mine from Deviant Art. In it, the protagonist is fighting in the last round of an underground martial arts tournament against a overwhelming odds to save the life of someone who kept him from comitting suicide. With the threat of his death if he loses it has the effect of twisting the effect of would be heroism into something more sinister.
ReplyDeleteAn example of violence such as in The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde where Dr. Jekyll is attempting to fight off Mr. Hyde in vain. In this situation, Mr. Hyde is like a poison of the mind, slowly killing off all that Dr. Jekyll once was. Violence of this scenario seems to be a type of violence that is corrosive to a character, slowly warping them, changing them along with the story.
-JWG
I find the violence in "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" is a very interesting form. In many movies, people try to kill others in vain, and this is a serious sort of violence that can advance the plot in a various number of ways.

ReplyDeleteThe first type of violence is character-on-character, when two characters or two distinguished groups of characters fight. This style of violence is the most common; it is included in many fighting animes, and it's also used in books. For example, animes like Dragon Ball Z, Naruto, Attack on Titan, and other more Japanese animes, are mainly based on fighting. Books such as Harry Potter, the Warriors cat series, and other books, have fighting involved as well.
Another type of violence is a type of violence without conflict between two characters. This type usually involves diseases or illnesses. For example, this occurs in Dragon Ball Z; in the middle of the series, the main character Goku contracts a fatal heart disease. Goku is killed by the heart disease, creating an alternative future where nobody is strong enough to defeat the Androids terrorizing the world. This creates an alternative time line where one character decides to go back in time in order to save Goku and the future.
The most major difference in these two types is the degree of the outcome. Usually, the illness type is fatal, while character-on-character is usually not. This can differ, as character-on-character can be fatal as well, especially when it's near the end of a series or season. Character-on-character deaths also usually occur very quickly, while an illness will kill a character over time. This adds more drama.
Excellent
DeleteI loved how you used anime that almost everyone has seen!
DeleteThis is a very good post because it makes use of quite a few different examples, resulting in an increase of emphasis.
DeleteDragon Ball Z used to be one of my favorite shows. Great connection.

ReplyDeleteLiterature includes two forms of violence. The main sort is particular injury inflicted upon characters. The second form of violence is the place the author causes damage to characters to advance the plot. In The Outsiders there are two gangs, the socs and the greasers. They submit the first kind of violence. They punch, cut, and just hurt one another out of revenge and outrage. It takes a couple of deaths of some of their own kinds for the characters to understand the craziness of fighting. The final result is that they develop to be better individuals.
The second kind of violence is introduced in Nicholas Sparks novel The Guardian. In Sparks' story, the lady's husband passed away. Sparks motivation to incorporate Jim's passing was to add to the plot. If it were not added that Jim did not die it would lose the importance to end of the story and to Julie and Jim's closest friend relationship. Toward the end, Julie comes to think her dog was her spouse guarding her. This second example was meant to add further details to the plot.
I've never heard of The Guardian but it sounds really interesting!
DeleteI like the book " the outsider" and in the book, there really are a lot of that kind of violence.
DeleteLove the guardian, I think another cool thing about the dog is it was from her husband! He ordered it to show up at her house the first Christmas he was gone, so you could see her reason behind it! Great example.
DeleteGreat job! I agree with your points.

ReplyDeleteHere are two of the most seen (by me) types of violence in movies, video games, and Literature.
Type one is gore, gore is used in every shoot em up video game, Jurassic park movie and book, and in every terminator movie, also in any action manga there is gore. To use gore in a piece of literature is not always to have decapitation and splitting of skulls and ripping spines out of bodies, it is not always a arm or leg or even foot being eaten, cut, shot, ripped, shredded, or exploded off of someone, no to use gore you only need blood and occasionally guts, in literature a light amount of gore is slight bleeding or a small puddle of blood, but extreme gore is to use ripping out somebody's spine after cutting off their limbs and then decapitating them only after you split their head open and then to finish it off you can place a small explosive inside of their chest to create a bloody mess of blood and guts EVERYWHERE.
Type two is CQC (close quarters combat), this involves knives, swords, light sabers (star wars!), fists, bronze knuckles, knuckle rings, batons, daggers, maces, pole-arms, kicking, beating, rocks, stoning, tripods, books (jason borne is the reason), cacti, vases, glass bottles, and you get the point. CQC or close quarters combat is combat at close range to mid range in the case of whips and pole-arms, the most obvious use of CQC is the legend of King Arthur he uses his sword to cut off the heads of his opponents in battle, another example of this would be Alice in Wonderland since in one part of the book someone got their head cut off by a ax so it would fall under the categories of Gore and CQC / combat.
Gore and CQC are similar in several ways but the way that they are different is that gore can be caused at close range, mid range, and long range with the works of a sniper rifle or any other gun or with a bow and arrow or shuriken but CQC is Close to mid ranges (it is only mid range with a whip or pole-arm or another weapon like that) so Gore is in a way more general than Close range Combat / CQC.
Based on the book. Not your interpretation
DeleteThis is very unique. I guess the combat could be seen as one aspect of character to character violence, but I would say that gore could be better explained as its own motif.
DeleteThere are two main types of voilence in literature. The first is the specific injury that characters can inflict on themselves or others. A few examples of this type of violence are stabbing someone or punching a dude in the face. The second type of injury in literature is athorial voilence. This is when the author causes a character to die or suffer. This type of voilence is usually used to aid the plot of the literature.
ReplyDeleteAn example of Character to character voilence would be in the Outsiders when Ponyboy gets jumped by his rival group. They are inflicting harm on Ponyboy, but he doesn't die, and it has less of an affect on the plot. It only angers his group. In The Great Gatsby; however, there is authorial voilence. This voilence occurs when Gatsby and Daisy kill her husband's mistress. This thickens the plot of the story because it causes Gatsby to be shot by the Mistress's husband later on.
Perfect examples since I had problems keeping the definitions separate from each other but after reading your post, I had examples that refreshed my thoughts when writing my blog post. Good job
DeleteThough I don't know how either of these go I think you did a good job of presenting both types of violence
DeletePost by: Alanie O’Dell
ReplyDeleteIn literature, there are two different kinds of violence. There is character-on-character violence and violence that isn’t presented between characters.
Character-on-character violence is often represented by physical expressions of anger like punching, shooting, stabbing, etc. On the popular TV show series “One Tree Hill,” Dan shoots and kills his own brother, Keith, out of jealously and resentment. This is an example of character-on-character violence. Viewers can actively witness Dan killing Keith and see the act of violence in itself.
The other type of violence, the kind that isn’t presented between characters is also displayed on “One Tree Hill” when Dan discovers that he has a fatal heart disease. Viewers cannot see any act of violence on Dan, but despite close attempts at a new heart, Dan dies from the disease. This is still an act of violence because his character is being eliminated to further the plot.
The main differences in the two types of violence that is found in literary works is its outcome on the story as a whole. Dan killing his brother Keith causes viewers to feel anger towards Dan, after being able to see it happen. Afterward, Dan is consumed by the guilt of killing his brother and the plot thickens. With violence that isn’t presented between characters, like Dan contracting and eventually dying from a heart disease, there is a certain level of sympathy toward him because of the specific type of violence he has endured.
I never took into account how violence makes the audience think about characters, good idea.
Delete"One Tree Hill" is one of my favorite shows and I love your examples.
Delete-Piper Colangelo
Nice example. I never about the second example and made the connection.
DeleteI love how you were able to find such definite examples. Wonderful job!
DeleteInteresting, I have never seen "One Tree Hill" sounds violent.
DeleteYour examples are great!

ReplyDeleteAs this chapter stated, there are two types of violence. The first being character-on-character violence, and the second being violence without agency.
Character-on-character violence is represented through physical anger. As stated in this chapter, things like: stabbing, punching, shooting, bombings, etc. On the CBS Popular Series "Hawaii Five-0," Victor Hess shoots and kills John McGarrett, Steve's dad out of pure anger. This is considered character-on-character violence because the viewers of the show can see that Hess openly shot McGarrett.
The second type of violence is one where writers just get rid of their characters. An example of this is in the show "Full House." When Jessie's grandpa comes to visit them in San Francisco, he dies in his sleep. This is considered an act of violence, still, because his character is being eliminated.
These two acts of violence can bring very different emotions on the readers/viewers. The first act can cause them to feel angry because one character took it upon their self to kill another character; meanwhile, the second can make a reader feel sad because that certain character had no control over his death, just as Jessie's grandpa had no idea when he went to sleep he wouldn't wake up.
That episode of Full House was really sad. Another thing that these two acts of violence do is drive the plots, but in different ways. Jesse was forced to mourn the loss of a loved one, while Steve is forced to avenge his father's death.
DeleteI love your example for the second type of violence. Full House is such a great show and this episode was tragic.
DeleteI thought you had an interesting connection between violence and a readers emotions. In your last example, I noticed how the violence was used to advance the plot. This idea is most commonly used with the second type of violence.
DeleteLove full house, that was a sad time. Very unique examples!
DeleteI am in love with Hawaii 5-0.
DeleteThe first type of violence is character to character inflicted that generally happens in the story due to fighting and the second type is out of the characters control and happens for the authors purpose.
ReplyDeleteThe first type of violence for example is driven with physical fighting between characters like in Family Guy with the main character Peter inflicting actions so stupid, one of the characters just punches him in the face out of pure anger. This is not seen to the viewers thinking "poor peter he is so innocent" but viewers thinking in the back of the heads "he maybe deserved it." A great example of the second type of violence would be in Family Guy when Brian gets hit by a car unexpectedly by accident and is killed so that the makers of the show could change it up by introducing another dog called Vinny who is played by Tony Sirico. They played out the experiment but realized the fans liked Brian better. At the end, the character Stewie who is the dogs family friend finds his past self and steals the time machine to save Brian from the car hitting him.
Very interesting examples, Douglas.
DeleteIt was very sad when they killed off Brian; I'm glad they brought him back. I remember everybody going crazy when Brian died.
DeleteTwo very prominent cases of violence we bear witness to in literature are the common, normally exciting character on character violence and then the normally emotion provoking violence without agency. Literature is often lined with ruthless examples of how characters strive to eliminate one another by numerous means in an attempt for power that normally excites the audience; contrary when violence is left without agency an opposite effect is left on the audience. This second type is normally meant to pull on our heart strings as one of our favorite characters our slowly drained of life of life or met with an unexpected, swift end.
ReplyDeleteTwo examples that come to mind when comparing the types are the Hat Gang from "The Good Thief" and the crewmen in "The Stowaway". The Hat Gang are sent after our group of thieves when they hear word of some neerdowells digging up graves. A chase soon breaks out with our wagon of sticky finger grave defilers being endlessly pursued by a dozen trench coat men wearing top hats. The violence begins by the wagon's horse taking a shotgun to the skull. The wagon spirals in to nearby ditch, and soon they are left at the Hat's mercy. The driver gets relentlessly beaten, the second in command get both of his legs broken, but the children were not harmed in their arrest. We leave the scene with the two men getting drag behind horse's to a mousetrap factory; needless to say this upset all the book's predecessors and pushed the story into a dark well of plot. The reader saw just how extreme our antagonist was and awakened to just how bad the thieves world was about to get. Our second example leads us down the seas south of Africa. a poor young boy witnessed the greater half of the remaining crew catch scurvy. Being so far away from home, their only savior was death. The boy was left with survivor's guilt yet unharmed by the monstrosity. Both types left great impact on the protagonist, but the severity differed. Yes, both scenarios left protagonist in a powerless state, but The thief had his friends survive. Our stowaway was not so lucky. The first situation invoked adrenaline and fear into the audience, and the second wanted us to feel loss. Violence never seems to end well in novels and normally leaves our hero's in a husk that only time can heal.

ReplyDeleteThe two types of violence that can be show in literature is, character vs. character and violence that is not between characters at all. In my own words 'The author killing off a character'.
1. Character vs. character violence is violence that has two characters insulting, punching or even killing each other (plus other acts that I did not state). The first situation of these is in "Genesis Ch. 4" from the Bible, where Cain killed Abel by taking him to a field and killing him. Cain did this out of jealousy towards his younger brother. Readers are able to read this and see that Cain killing Abel was the act of violence itself.
2. Killing off the character is another form of violence when the author allows the death of a character. The second situation of these is in "Genesis Ch. 4" of the Bible, where after Cain killed Abel, God allowed Cain to wander the earth, and applied a mark on Cain and allowed him to never be killed by the hands of another. After God did this He shunned Cain away from himself never allowing forgiveness.
(No this is not exactly the same, but it can still be considered the same act of violence because the act of shunning someone away is basically killing them off from the story.)
The main difference between these two acts of violence is how it is portrayed in the story. Just like in character vs. character, Cain killing Abel gives the reads the since of hatred towards Cain. With killing off a character, such as God shunning Cain after what he did to his brother, the readers almost find sympathy towards Cain, after what he did.
I liked your definition of violence because they were very easy to understand.

ReplyDeleteViolence is common in literature even if we don't know it. There are two main categories of violence in literary works. There is character on character violence and there is nonphysical violence.
Character on character violence is very common. This type of violence is when a character is shot, stabbed, crushed, etc. by another character. An example of this is in The Hunger Games, Rue, the girl tribute from District 11, was killed by Marvel, the boy tribute from District 1, by a spear to her abdomen.
Nonphysical violence is when a character passes due to an illness or disease. In The Fault In Our Stars, Augustus Waters is plagued with osteosarcoma and sadly passes away. This is a good example of the second type of violence.
These two types of violence are different because one, character on character, is intentional while the second is unintentional or unplanned.
A lot of people cried when Augustus died; I wasn't expecting him to die.
DeleteThe Fault in Our Stars is a really good example because people weren't expecting Augustus to die.
DeleteI remember having to re-read that part because I just couldn't believe he had died! It was a heartbreaking moment.
DeleteHannah's, Adison's, and Sofia's post are right on the spot. No one was expecting Augustus to die. I my self was heartbroken, and I was not expecting his death. ~ Caleb C.
DeleteBoth scene made me sad, but Augustus dying more so since I wasn't expecting him to die.

ReplyDeleteThere are two types of violence in literature, one being character vs. character violence, and the other being authorial violence. The two may be very different, but they are both violence.
Character vs. character violence is physical violence inflicted on a character by another character. An example of character vs. character violence can be seen in almost all literary works. In the popular television show The Vampire Diaries two of the main characters have it out almost instantly. Within the first episode viewers see two brothers fighting over a girl. Not in a way we might think though. The brothers are fighting because one brother wants to drain her of all her blood.
In this same series we can also see authorial violence. I'm not going to give any names, for the sake of others not wanting the whole series spoiled, but I will give the basics. One character, we're going to call it "Blank", wanted to leave the show after six seasons. The author of the series decided to kill Blank off by placing it into a coffin, but Blank was under a spell which put her into a deep sleep. This character is likely not to reappear until the series finale, so it might as well be dead.
I love your examples of violence and I also love how you included weather it be character vs. character violence or authorial violence they're both violence. One more thing I like is I know who blank is.

ReplyDeleteThere are two types of violence found in literature. First, there is the specific injury a character chooses to bestow upon themselves or another character in the story. In “The Carrie Diaries,” Carrie Bradshaw happens to be moving to Manhattan, New York for the Summer. Upon one of her first nights of being there, she decides to set her purse down on the ground while waiting outside a club. Suddenly, Carrie looks down and notices that her purse is gone! Because what person doesn’t set their purse down outside a club after midnight in Manhattan? Her character chose to make a stupid move, and as a result of this, she lost the purse that held her money, keys and personal belongings. This created an advancement in the story, however, due to the fact that since Carrie was now without a purse and keys to her apartment, she had to make her way around the unfamiliar town of New York and befriend a bartender that had sneaky ways of getting Carrie into her apartment. Also, as a result of this, Carrie had to lend a room to her new bartending friend that definitely overstayed her welcome.
Second, we have the narrative violence in which the author brings down upon characters in order to make the story more interesting (typically if something dull is taking place). In “The Hunger Games,” the Game-Makers decide that there is a dull moment within the game. The moment is quiet, there isn’t a lot of killing or fighting happening, and viewers of the television event are getting bored with staring at the screen. So, the people controlling the game decide to spice up the game a bit by throwing huge balls of fire at Katniss, which she has to run away from in order to keep from burning to death. These balls of fire were lunged at Katniss in order to make the story more suspenseful for viewers who were losing interest. Instead of killing her, as the game controllers expected, Katniss made it out alive and made the games more interesting by showing the strength and agility that she could offer.
Wow I never though of that in The Hunger Games with the Game-Makers deciding the dull moment, great job on caching that. Interesting example with The Carrie Diaries which is a great example since it fuels the plot.

ReplyDeleteIn literature, there are two major types of violence. The first type is the one you typically think of when you hear the word violence, character vs. character. It's when a character causes physical harm to another character or themselves, such as stabbing, shootings, drowning, bombings, etc. This type of violence involves there being a guilty party, someone who was involved in the harming. An example of this type of violence would be in JK Rowling's "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows." After preparing himself for the moment for many years, Harry finally has his chance to fight Voldemort at the Battle of Hogwarts. There are wands and spells being thrown everywhere until Harry finally lives up to his purpose, taking down Voldemort. The whole story could be based around the idea of characters harming each other, or there could be narrative violence just to make a plot advancement. Narrative violence is the second type of violence in literature. It is where the author causes harm to the characters without any specific character being responsible for the harm. It's used to make action happen, cause complications, or put the characters under stress. The difference between character vs. character violence and narrative violence is that the harm done in narrative violence are virtually meaningless. Its only purpose is plot advancement. An example of narrative violence would be in Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird." Mrs. Dubose is a neighbor that always threw insults at the other characters when they passed by her house, even if they were nice to her. In chapter 11, she dies. She was a morphine addict and she always wanted to stop before she died. This advanced the plot because it added a little action to keep the story going.
I strongly agree with your example.

ReplyDeleteThere are two types of violence, the first is violence without influence from another being, the second is character on character violence. Violence without influence from another being is to further the plot of the literature such as a character dying a natural death. Character on character violence is exactly what it says, it’s when a character(s) fight another character(s) including fist, guns, knives, etc.
An example of violence without influence from another being is in the movie “The Last Song”. In “The Last Song” the daughter Ronnie is forced to live with her father Steve, Ronnie didn’t want to live with him, therefore, her and her father start off on a rough patch. After a while Steve and Ronnie begin to bond over music and the little baby sea turtles, but when Steve goes to get a flashlight he passes out, later in the hospital you hear Steve has lung cancer. Ronnie is devastated by the news of her father's disease, thus, staying to live with her father and finish the song he was working on. Violence without influence from another being helps people appreciate what they have as shown in the example from “The Last Song”, you can see that it helps people appreciate what they have because Ronnie in the beginning was very disrespectful to her father and didn’t want to live with him but in the end she was nice, wanted to help, and live with her father.
An example of character on character violence is in “Arrow” a TV series. There are many episodes and scenes with character on character violence but one in particular is “The Climb”. In “The Climb” Oliver climbs to the top of a mountain to fight Ra’s Al Ghul in this fight there are fist and swords, Ra’s and Oliver fight until Oliver is “dead” then the fight is over. Ra’s and Oliver were fighting because Oliver wanted to save his sister's life. With character on character violence the characters are fighting for a reason, character on character violence in literature is for a reason, characters don’t walk up to other characters and fight them for no reason in books/movies.
I love the Last Song, except it made me cry when I watched that scene. Anyway I like how you used this movie as an example of non-human violence.
DeleteIn literature there are two types of violence: character vs. character violence and character vs. outside force. Character vs. character violence is when one character does something physical to hurt the other. Character vs. outside force is typically an illness that the character gets, that the author uses to deepen the plot.
ReplyDeleteIn the television show “Teen Wolf” you can see a lot of character vs. character violence. There always seems to be a point in each episode when the Argents go after any werewolf they can find and try to kill them.
Character vs. outside force is also seen on “Teen Wolf.” One of the main characters Stiles learns that he has Frontotemporal Dementia, which is an incurable brain disease. His mom had passed away from this when he was younger and now his father has to deal with the fact that his son might die as well. This caused a real emotional toll on the people watching, but I never thought of it as an act of violence before.

They really do! I like the connections you used with violence.

ReplyDeleteIn the book it talks about the different types of violence. In the book it states that "violence is one of the most personal and even intimate acts between human beings" (Foster 88). In 'Catching Fire' Katniss Everdeen and all the people chosen to compete had to kill one another until they had their victor. This was violence for survival. The whole movie is about survival and rebellion against the Capitol because people are starving and being mistreated. Another example would be in 'Mockingjay' when President Snow shows signs that he is dying from some sort of disease. Those are my examples of violence in literary works.
This is a great example because Catching Fire is about killing, and killing a violence that people do to each other. This post also opened my eyes to see that when Snow was dying it is an ironic twist to him, because of what he did to the districts. ~ Caleb C.
DeleteThis is actually a really good example because if there wasn't violence, there wouldn't even be a "Hunger Games."
DeleteViolence in literary works can have very different effects on the storyline. Two of the dynamic differences are found in New Moon by Stephenie Meyer and in The Lord of The Rings movie trilogy.
ReplyDeleteIn New Moon, the violence throughout the book is actually in response to the lead male, Edward, leaving the lead female, Bella. She does dumb things that ultimately inflicts pain upon herself. The outcome of this is Edward believing that Bella is dead and Bella having to find him to save him from himself.
In The Lord of The Rings, there is action and violence constantly taking place. This is a result of a lot of things throughout the storyline and it causes even more violence. In a series like these, the violence builds off of each other to generally create a grand scene that consists of a war or huge amount of violence.

DeleteI strongly agree with the example that you used. Bella stays in her and Edwards toxic relationship, so that causes hurt on herself.
DeleteI've never read Twilight or any of the book but they seem interesting!
DeleteViolence in literature is something else, like metaphors. there is two types of violence in literature and they are: violence caused by others and violence that is out of the hands of the characters.
ReplyDeleteIn Supernatural, there are demons that are causing the violence to others. They do things like killing people, possessing them, torturing them, etc. Sam and Dean are trying to control the demons and stop the apocalypse but it might be out of their hands. It is out of the hands of people who aren't demon hunters.
I totally agree. Violence adds to the action because without it a lot of the story line wouldn't make sense.

ReplyDeleteThere are two main types of violence in literature. These two include violence between different character and the other type is more of an emotional violence.
Character: Character violence is easy is see in tv shows and books. Some actions of this violence include punching and hitting. This violence is most commonly found in action shows and books. For example in the show “The Walking Dead” you can find a lot of character violence. Rather it is hitting and killing zombies or hitting people. This show has a lot of violence in it.
Emotional: Emotional violence is typically found when someone dies in a tv show or book. Though the character may have not been killed by another human, it is still considered violence. If a character dies in their sleep,if they die from a heart attack or some illness, then this would be what we consider emotional violence. An example is in the book “The Probability of Miracles?” the main character Cam dies from cancer in the end. This is considered as an act of violence because it killed of the main character.
The Walking Dead is a very violent show for humans and the walkers!
DeleteI have only seen a few episodes of The Walking Dead and it is really violent.
Delete-Kalynne H.
I hate when authors kill off the main character. Don't they know that we have read three hundred and forty five pages that brought us closer to the main character? Great examples, I love The Walking Dead.

There are two different types of violence in literature. First you have character to character where violence occurs between the character, this type is most common. The second type is violence that does not involve characters hurting one another, rather the author adding it in to build up the story, or to lead up to the true meaning of something.
ReplyDeleteAn example for the first type of violence is the movie The Blind Side. After running away from Leigh mad because he thinks Leigh and the family were only helping him so he would go to Ole Miss. Michael finds himself at his real family place. They start to bug him about the apparent change in him, nicer clothes, clean, doesn’t want a beer and he looks like he is going somewhere in life. They try to rile him up, talking about Touhy family and if he is messing with the daughter, etc. Michael gets mad and finds himself acting like the old him punching the guy, which ends up hurting a baby. Realizing what he has done Michael runs out of there and calls Leigh. Michael realizes how his life was then and how he doesn’t want, no is he that way anymore. I believe the violence was an eye opener for Michael and gave him more motivation to keep moving forward.
An example of the second type of violence is The Fault in Our Stars by, John Green. Augustus dies and Hazel realizes that she would take that “grenade” because she couldn’t imagine her life without Augustus. Hazel realizes as Augustus finally did when he talks about getting to choose who hurts you and the scars left behind. This leads her to find closure about her fears of leaving her parents and everyone she loves behind. As she feels with Augustus the pain of not having him there with her sometimes feels unbearable, but she would chose it a million times over never knowing him.
ReplyDeletePresent examples of the two kinds of violence found in literature. Show how the effects are different.
In literature, there are two different types of violence. The first type of violence occurs when one character in the book harms another. The second type of violence is known as narrative violence. Narrative violence just causes characters harm in general.
When I think of the first type of violence, I think of horror movies. For this example I will be using the film “Bride of Chucky”. In this film, harm is caused to other characters by Chucky and Tiffany. These characters cause harm by stabbing, drowning, and poisoning their victims.
When I think of the second type of violence, I automatically think of the film “ Life as We Know It”. In this film, the parents of a child die which then advances the plot and leads to their mutual best friends taking care of the child.

ReplyDeleteThere are two king s of violence found in literature. The first kind is the specific injury cause by a character and the second one is authorial violence or violence the author use for plot advancement.
An example of the first violence is in the TV series "Supernatural". In the TV series, the monster would torture, kill,shoot, and stab the victim.
An example of the second kind of violence would be in the book "The Red Pyramid" when in the beginning, the two main charater's, Sadie and Carter, father died and because of that, it advances the plot and Carter and Sadie were able to save the world.
I love Supernatural. I can´t believe, I didn´t think of this. Nice job.
Delete-Kalynne Helms.
Supernatural is amazing. Without the violence there would be no show. Great example.
DeleteAleigha
I liked your example of Supernatural. The violence in that show is used to add drama. On the other hand, the violence in the Red Pyramid is used to advance the plot.
DeleteI agree with Aleigha! Without the violence, there would be no Supernatural and that would make me sad. Good work, Ling.

ReplyDeleteViolence. Violence is behavior involving physical force intending to hurt another. It´s not a very good thing but there is bound to be some in every type of literature. Literature violence can mean many things. It can be symbolic, romantic, and many other things but there are two kinds. There is the injuries that characters cause to themselves or others, and the narrative violence that causes character general harm. The first example I have is Harry Potter. Throughout the Harry Potter movies, there is all kinds of violence but I want to focus on the very last battle. The very last battle was the biggest of them all. It was the Hogwarts wizards versus Voldemort and the bad wizards. The wizards in that battle caused harm to other wizards and some even left the other wizards dead. Character vs character and the second example is from the movie New Moon. Harry Clearwater dies of a heart attack while out on a hunt. It doesn't make a difference to the story whether he died or not but the author made it happen to increase or advance the plot.
Harry Potter is an amazing example, very clever.
DeleteViolence in literature is used to advance the plot and create drama. In literature, there are two types of violence, violence inflicted by a character onto another character and the violence caused by the author onto a character.
ReplyDeleteThe most common type of violence is character on character violence. This usually consists of a fist fight, shootings, or even a hit and run. I have seen this idea of violence reflected through the television series Arrow. In the series Oliver Queen is the vigilante, Green Arrow. As a vigilante, he spends most of his time fighting criminals. He fights and stops them so the police can safely lock them away.
In some cases, the author will actually inflict violence onto a character through things, such as disease. I have seen this through the fairy tale Cinderella. In the beginning of the story, Cinderella lives with her kind and loving father. Shortly after remarrying to an evil woman, he dies. The effect of this type of violence advances the plot. The evil stepmother finally shows her true evil colors as she treats Cinderella as a slave. All this happens so in the end, Cinderella finds true love and happiness.
Violence is used in two ways, character to character violence and author to character violence. Both types have very different effects. In most cases, Character to character violence does not end in death, it is merely used to add drama. Violence from the author more than likely ends in death. This violence is used to advance the plot and add to the story.
There are two different types of violence: Character vs. Character and other violence.
ReplyDeleteCharacter vs. Character is generally more idealistic or a confrontation of principles, but some of the time it is due to anger, love, jealousy, or downright survival. This type of violence is over more quickly and thus is normally built up to more. One example of this is in the book The Hunger Games, the actual games (a fight for survival between 24 teens) are built up to for almost half of the book, in order to make the actual fight for survival (the entire second half) that much more intense.
Contrasting this, other violence is when a character has to fight an illness. This does not really need to be built up to, because the illness generally builds itself up as a threat as the illness gets worse. This tends to affect the character’s loved ones differently, because they cannot go for revenge (which is ironically more character vs. character violence).
One might think that this makes other violence much more emotional, but they can both be very emotional or not emotional at all depending on how well the characters are set up by the author.
By: Aaron N
The two different types of violence in literature are the injuries characters will inflict on other characters. West Side Story is a good example of this. There are two gangs, The Jets (White American males) and The Sharks (Puerto Rican males). Tony, who is from the Jets, falls in love with Maria, who is the sister of Bernardo, the leader of the Sharks. Tony kills Bernardo, and Chino (Bernardo's friend) finds out and looks for Tony so he can kill him. Tony goes to Maria and proclaims that they can run away together and he wanted her to meet him at Doc's. Anita (Bernardo's Girlfriend) realized how much Maria loves Tony, so she admits to Maria that Chino is looking to kill Tony. Anita goes to Doc's to tell Tony to wait and not leave yet. The Jets had congregated at Doc's and they taunt Anita with racial slurs and other harmful things and it makes Anita mad. She tells them that Chino has shot Maria dead because she was so furious. Doc tells Tony, and Tony becomes heartbroken, so he goes to find Chino to tell him to kill him. Just when Tony sees Maria alive, Chino kills him. The Jets get ready to attack the Sharks, but Maria picks up the gun and says, "All of you killed Tony and the others because of their hate for each other, and, now I can kill too, because now I have hate!"
ReplyDeleteThe next kind of violence is more meaningful and deep than the first. It is when the author has someone die. In To Kill a Mockingbird, Ms. Dubose is old and dies. This is important because it develops the character, Jem. Sometimes death or loss is necessary for the plot to continue in a story.
-Laurie Ricardo
The two examples of violence in literature is:
ReplyDeletea) Character-on-character: This violence is more physical between the characters. For example, in a episode of Grey's Anatomy Meredith Grey and Callie Torres, the orthopedic surgeon almost got in a physical fight over something that had spread around the hospital. Dr. Torres came in and got physical with Dr. Grey.
b)The other type of violence is the kind where the author gets rid of a character. An example for this would be in Grey's Anatomy when Dr. Shepherd was on his way to the airport for his flight back to Seattle but on his way there he got in a terrible car accident and passed away in the hospital.

ReplyDeleteThe two types of violence in literature are narrative violence and violence/injury the author causes their character to visit. With the first type of violence, narrative violence, it would cause harm to the characters. Now with the second type of violence, it would be causing characters to visit violence or injuries within or with each other.
The first type of violence effects a character because the author causes it and it can also cause an advance in the plot. The second type of violence usually effects a group of characters or even just a couple. It shows the character or multiple characters being physically hurt.
The two kinds of violence found in literature are the specific injury that the author cause the characters to visit on one another or themselves, and the narrative violence that causes characters harm in general.
ReplyDeleteWith the first kind of violence, a character is harming another character or themselves, which is the most common form of violence. The second is the author inflicting the violence on the character. An example of the first type would be the fight between Rocky and Clubber Lang in Rocky 3. It is straight up character on character violence. An example of the second type would be when Uncle Ben dies in Spiderman. It simply exists to affect Peter and causes him to go into crimefighting.
By Noah Wollin
ReplyDeleteThe two kinds of violence are character on character violence and narrative violence.
Character on character violence can be anything a character does to inflict harm on another or themselves. This is a major element in Superhero stories, for example, Batman. His purpose in life is to protect Gotham City from wrongdoers and avenge his parents. He constantly fights villains to protect his city, like the Joker. They are always fighting but because Batman doesn't kill he is trapped fighting the villains who reside in Gotham over and over.
The second type, narrative violence, is anything not caused by a character. In "The Walking Dead" the zombie virus is an example of this. It is the main element of the plot, what started the outbreak. It takes over many characters throughout the series as they succumb to it and can cause disasters for other characters.
A frequent source of brutality in all literary work is the violence between one character and another. In the story Blacklands by Belinda Bauer, a man kidnaps, rapes, then kills children. Not a pleasant story at all, but it demonstrates the violence one character can inflict on another character or several other characters within a story.
ReplyDeleteThe other kind of violence is the violence put forth by the author and is for the progression of the story. I have seen numerous literary works use violence against a character's love one to help with character development, set the plot for the work, or create rifts within the story.
- Olyvia Knight
One of the two types of violence is “character vs. character with conflict” and the other is “character vs. character without conflict”. Character vs. character with conflict would be like the anime Fairy Tail, Sword Art Online, or Durarara where there is face to face action. In Fairy Tail Natsu fights with physical magic, in SAO they fight with swords, and in Durarara they fight with fist.
ReplyDeleteCharacter vs. character without conflict would be like in episode one of “The Death Note” where the person’s name that is put down, the other person does not know and within 40 seconds they die of a heart attack.
~Christopher Johnson
I like sword art online and I like your example
DeleteThe first type of violence is character vs. character violence, in which two people from the story are at odds with one another. One example of this is in “The Inheritance Cycle” when Eragon and Murtagh are in a battle with each other. These types of battles are often very physical and can result in the bodily harm of any of the people involved. This type almost always causes physical harm.
ReplyDeleteAnother type of violence is a character vs. inside or outside forces not from another character. An example of this in “The Inheritance Cycle” is when Eragon needs to control another character and in order to do that he needs their true name. The other person does not know their true name and so cannot tell him. Because of this, Eragon has to think about what kind of person the man is and discover who he really without help from anyone else. This type almost always causes a positive or negative change in mentality.
All types of violence are similar in the fact that they have a possibility of causing mental and physical harm to the people involved in the conflict. Someone who participates in a war can come out of it with crippling PTSD just as easily as someone that struggles with depression can succumb to the problem and take their life away from the ones they love.

ReplyDeleteThe two kinds of violence in literature are The violence the characters inflict upon themselves or another character. The second type of violence is when the author uses violence to advance the plot of the story. An example of the first type of violence is found in the book "And Then There Were None." In the novel the characters try and protect themselves against a person who is set on trying to kill them. Eventually General MacArthur dies when the villain pushes a marble bear clock on him.
An example of the second type of violence is found in the novel "The Grapes Of Wrath by john Steinbeck." In the novels Grandpa Joad becomes ill and dies of a stroke.
There are two types of violence the type where it's physical like an fight in between friends or enemies and their scars and blood is visible and the type where it emotional where the only pain is found in their own head or because of mental medical problems.
ReplyDeleteThe effects are different because when it’s physical it’s in between two characters the way you can tell this apart is first of all well there's two characters and usually if it's a book it uses a lot of imagery. When reading this type of violence you’ll see the words” blood” or “punch” there's a lot of action involved as well.
The second one gives off a more emotional appeal and really gets to the reader. Usually when it shows violence to the person itself it uses a sad background as the reason why the person is violent to him or herself it could mean medical or just plain emotional -Stephanie Martinez
Post by: Kayla Williamson
ReplyDeleteThere are two different types of violence found in literature and they are either out of the hands of the characters (narrative violence) or directly caused by other characters (character to character violence). Narrative violence happens to a character in order to develop the plot. An example of narrative violence would be from William Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet”. Romeo mistakenly thinks Juliet is dead and commits suicide to be with her. This was used by the author to thicken the plot of the story. An example of character to character violence can be found in the literary work, “The Outsiders”. The book consists of shootings and stabbings which directly inflict violence on the characters.
ReplyDelete- Alicia L. M. -
In literature there are two main acts of violence. One of the act of violence is character on character violence and non-physical act of violence mainly occur through an illness. Violence is used in almost all types of literary work even if we do not seen as an of violence most of the time, but it is.
Character on character violence is most often witness in scary, action, and sci fiction movies, books and tv shows. This type of violence is when a character is involved in the hurting or killing of another character. In “The Walking the Dead”, Beth a young girl gets shot by a police women for not doing as she stated.
Non-physical violence is a act of harm done by an illness, the director, or writer. The type of violence is seen in many different types of films, tv shows and movies. In “Hachi: A Dog's Tale” a movie about a loyal dog to his owner, Parker Wilson there is non-physical violence. Parker Wilson dies of a heart attack and never returns to his dog, Hachi.
The different effect these two type of violence have on it’s reader or viewer can at time be very different. Character on character is mainly questioned by the reader or viewer due to the fact that maybe a unlike character kills one of the most liked characters. This to the viewer creates anger and sadness. One the other hand non-physic is sometimes more easy for the reader or viewer to deal with due to the fact the there really is not anyone to blame for, except maybe the writer or director. But, most of the time a writer or director kills a character off the show or novel because they have to. Both of this types of violence do have a painful and sad effect on the viewer or reader.
ReplyDeleteIn the literature, two main types of violence are used.
Character to Character is when violence occurs between the two. Ex. Fights
On the other hand, there can be events that take place that hurt the characters emotionally but no one gets hurt physically.
Character to Character
White Fang is a story about men and the there pack of dogs that go sledding. However at night the dogs are lured into their death by a she wolf. White fang kills the sled dogs by biting them around their neck. This is a perfect example of character to character because we can see an act of violence .
Emotional Violence
The truth about forever by Sarah Dessen is almost exactly like the movie grease. However, at the beginning of the novel Macy’s father goes about his day like he always does, but unexpectedly has a heart attack and dies at the scene. This is a great example because no one caused this to happen, it was just a natural way of dying.

Coldest Winter Ever
1. Character to Character Violence
Winter and her friends jump a group of girl. They put razer blades under their tongues and cover their bodies in lotion. They win the fight but this shows how ruthless they are.
2. Character vs Self Violence
Winter becomes pregnant but she isn't sure if the father of her child is truly the father so she aborts the child. She feels no emotion towards her actions but the things that come after her abortion show the self hate and self violence she inflected on herself.
These examples of violence in my opinion are very similar because in both examples Winter puts herself in danger for no reason.
