"Eli the Unknown"
Character Analysis
Hope
for Humanity seems sometimes lost, but it is the small acts of kindness that
keeps humanity thriving. Some of the greatest leaders are remembered for their
acts in civil, political, and human rights campaigns; however, what about the
unnamed heroes. The character Eli the Unknown is the sole protagonist in the
animated short “Eli the Unknown” by Tenise Roberts. I chose Eli because I can
identify with the message he portrays in the animation. Eli is a silent
character, but speaks volumes with his kind generous act within the animation.
His simplistic and noble approach to bringing a group of diversified
individuals together for sharing a moment in humanity.
Eli
the Unknown, names states just what his demeanor portrays in the animated
short. He is a mysterious character who appears calm natured from the moment he
enters the scene. Eli’s temperament evokes questions and wonder from other
figures in the story, making him appear villainous at times. His actions alone
draw attention to his character and allows him to gradually become the focal
point of the story. Eli does not appear intimidated or shaken by the judgmental
crowd. I solely identify with Eli’s ability to stay strong and positive in the
face of adversity and criticism. Another strong point would be Eli’s positive
will for humanity. As the protagonist of the story, Ali’s resilience to solve a
common problem speaks volumes in the overall message and them of the animated
short.
Humanity needs more characters like
Eli the Unknown spreading unity and positivity. The animated short is
definitely an eye opener for many and is relevant in today’s society. The
persistent will for change by the character Eli can be seen throughout our
cultures today no matter how diverse.
