What is Contrast?

Like a compare and contrast essay, a contrast essay asks you to choose two or more items and ideas and write about them. However, instead of highlighting similarities between the two things, a contrast essay will describe how they are different. It is important to note that, in order to have an effective contrast essay, there must be some similarities or shared middle ground between the things being contrasted. A contrast essay that focused on the differences between a roller skate and the planet Jupiter would contain a lot of contrast, but would be almost incoherent. However, a contrast essay that focused on the differences in Earth and Jupiter would start from the point where they are similar (planets in the same solar system) and then highlight differences.

Repressed sexuality and violence in Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns

This essay examines the homosexual undertones of the character of Batman, with a particular focus on Frank Miller's 1986 The Dark Knight Returns. Miller's Batman represses his sexual desire, but it returns in the form of violence and aggression. One may read Miller's Batman as an embodiment of the tension present in the character throughout history, because Miller's Batman attempts to sublimate his sexuality in the same way that censors and authors attempted to erase any hint of homosexuality in the character.
