Continuous Myths

From the graphic novel Eric Draven the main character has the symbolic creature the raven that defines him in so many ways, The raven symbolizes darkness, links to death or death itself, revenge, and transitions to the afterlife. As in the novel the character Raven is heartless and even as he is inflicted pain he doesn't show any sign of emotion or pain as if he was a dead man walking. Raven talks to the people that he encounters without remorse and gets straight to the point. The Native Americans also believed that the raven symbolizes deceit or a master or trickery, and is driven by greed and the ability to change its from at will. Eric Draven lived a simple life before his wife died and since that tragedy he became cold and heartless, to conclude this Eric Draven and "The Crow" are suppose to be one in the same and the novel is suppose to be his alter ego of some sort.
