Pentadic Criticism

The artifact that i will analyze through Pentadic Criticism is the movie "7 pounds".

The Agent in this Movie is Will Smith. Will Smith played the main character Ben Thomas whom the whole movie centered around

The act in "7 pounds" is that Ben Thomas is giving up his life and vital organs to the peoples lives he ruined to a fatal car accident he was in.

The Scene last most important scene takes place in the motel he rented out where he will take his life

The agency is the people who Ben Thomas affected through the car accident.

The purpose is Ben Thomas seeks to right the wrongs of the peoples lives he has affected

  1. I think this a is a very good artifact. I haven't seen the movie but would like to! Pendatic criticism would probably be your best method in writing this paper. Your description of the agent, act, scene, agency, and purpose seems very clear. It might be best to focus on that final scene since you stated that it is the most important, just make sure there is enough information to write your paper. :) Good post and good luck!

  2. i agree with ashleigh , i think that if you are going to focus on a specific scene, then to pick your descriptions in just that scene for a more clear criticism paper. But yet again, i think it was very clever !

  3. I also agree with everyone here. I think you will have plenty of things to talk about if you mention the last scene of the movie. Try to remember just the key details, and all the important things which led to the motel scene.
