Turnage - Jokers Character - Olivia Turnage

Tim Burton shows that the jokester is a trickster through not on only the jokers’ character but through his actions. The joker shows his character mainly through his outrageous attire and makeup. Not only does this stand out to others but it leaves a lasting impression, as does the joker.

His character is has classic features of a trickster he is rude, unruly, rebelling, obnoxious, embracive and more to discuss.

As to rude, the joker does not care about others and their feelings. He is quite selfish, and into him and only himself. Majority of tricksters like to make it seem that they are present to better another, but in reality they deceive others in order to get ahead or above another. In this case for then joker it was to be above. As before the jokers’ accident, that has him now in a new physical state, he has always sought the power and envied the things that his boss had. Seen as he was having an affair with his wife. Giving him a sense as he was just as good as his boss.

By him having affair it automatically showed him as unruly. As he was not doing the job for the being of himself and others as it should be. But it showed he was not loyal and, was only there to benefit himself. Also it shows that the Joker did not become the typical trickster because of the accident but demonstrates that even before while he was Jack he was a trickster.

By the accident happening I believed it gave formally known jack a sense of confidence to act out who he really was, finally his appearance matched his personality. Or even seen now that he could hide behind his new appearance to act out and to gain power, because others might not recognize him for his original being. Allowing jack to start over an be who really is or portrays himself to be

Make up played a large role in the jokers’ actions .The jokers make up gave him multiple personalities, as if he had a partial take of schizophrenia. As his makeup changed so did his attitude and his self-ambiance. His make up almost warns you of what to expect out of his character. When the jokers make up is not flamboyant, the joker seems to be in a business state. A state of seriousness as he is trying to make a deal or somewhat realistic. But when he wears the classic joker (flamboyant) makeup it seems that he becomes much more embracive and terroristic to others. Believed that the joker wears less makeup during business transactions to make him appear somewhat normal, professional and trustworthy if you must say.
