Batman: The Dark Knight Rises

 In this third installment in the Batman movies produced by Christopher Nolan, the theme of creation and destruction is most predominate. This theme can be found in one very important character to the plot of the movie. This character's name is Bane. He is played by British actor Tom Hardy.

Bane is a criminal who escaped an infamous pit in the desert where war criminals are placed. He is also considered to be the antihero, which is character that is completely opposite from the hero. Bane, because of his ill treatment and that of a friend, seeks vengeance on the wealthy of Gotham. He is a lot like Victor Frankenstein's monster in the sense of physical appearance. Bane was born like any other human being. He was normal but followed a corrupt path that led him to the pit. But because of an unfortunate event, Bane was attacked by a mob of people resulting in physical abuse. Because the damage to his face was so great, Bane has to wear a contraption to help him breathe. This is how Bane is like Frankenstein's monster. He is treated like a monster. He is treated like an outcast which is explained in Bane's backstory in the movie. Click here to see it.
