I chose to use the image of Darth Vader’s mask because it symbolizes a character that walked the same path as Jack and used a mask to escape from self-consciousness and the ability to simply do what one wants. Darth Vader’s real name is Anakin Skywalker, but he turned to the dark side and took the name Darth Vader. This title or new identity allowed Anakin to free himself from his self-consciousness and shame and commit acts that evil. |
I chose this quote to support my thesis because it shows how without defined authority people can create their own to fill the void that authority had in someone's life. The mask acts as a shield from proper morality which Jack knows is right and allows Jack to act as he pleases instead of by the rules. |
