The Dark Knight

"Do you know, why I use a knife? Guns are too quick. You can't savor all the little...emotion. You see, in their last moments, people show ya who they really are. So, in a way, I know your friends better than you ever did. Would you like to know which of them were cowards?"-The Joker

"The Dark Knight"

The structure of this quote from the Joker in the movie The Dark Knight has an interesting structure used in it. The uses of Commas and the long pauses help make the reader of the quote understand how these villain acts by text alone. The way he pauses makes him seem to appear serious and as if he has something very important to say and get across.

After the uses of commas and pauses he quickly asks a cold hearted question without pause or hesitation. This help the reader understand his personality and how this character is erratic and deluded. The pauses and commas in the text play a very important role, I believe, I think that help make him sounds less clear and crazy as if he were muttering the sentence.

"Do you wanna know, why I do the things I do..........Its quite simple really, its because its.......fun. You don't understand me , really, I just love a good smile!"
