Foreword

After reading the foreword I can say that I am excited about the rest of the quarter for this class. I feel as though the material that we will read will be highly entertaining and for the most part fast moving. I like the concept of pulp, learning as how it was developed during the time of the depression as a way to partially take those suffering out of a torturing reality. The villain is a comical character because it reminds me of Batman’s character in the Dark Knight when he eventually was seen as the bad guy although he was not causing any harm. Women roles in the pulp seem about right for this time period as they were not thought as being of any importance other than to look pretty. When they talk about detectives and such, are they referring to the times of Sherlock Holmes? I know those were generally black and white films but I do not really understand the meaning of a hard-boiled detective.
