Maltese Falcon
The Maltese falcon by Dashiell Hammett is a thrilling movie full of twists and turns and deceits. severally character wants the Maltese falcon for the rewards it willing bring. Almost everyone is a baddie in some behavior or another. I will incite with Sam turn over. He is the hero of the story, but I would say he is more of an anti-hero. He plays by his own rules. He is tough and a bit hard-nosed. He doesnt seem to be upset that his partner is dead. I feel that he knew Brigid killed his partner from day one, but for some reason he didnt let on until the end.Knowing this he still put up with her lies and melodrama. He obviously isnt a man of scruples as he was having an affair with his partners wife. At the end I wonder did he bask Brigid as he claims or was he just playing with her?

Sam Spade, the detective-protagonist is aware that his best(p) efforts are ultimately futile, to the extent that the corrupt urban environment will inevitably undercut and outlast his heroic attempts to see justice done, this smell out of Spade wanting to a chieve greater justice implies to the reader that Spade is essentially vertical and is resistant to the hostile world which he had use his life to combating.Raymond Chandler labels Hammetts character of Spade as a cynical, tough item-by-item who maintains his code of honour in a world tarnished by phantasy and betrayal at all levels of society In The Maltese Falcon Spade is described as the blond Satan. Whilst his objective and inner good is clear to the readers, other characters struggle to see Spade in his square(a) light, and describe him as a wild and unpredictable
