the comment of superman as the essential american hero

why the superman were popular in American . I think the major reason is environment . At that time , United State meet the great depression and the World War 2 . In this moment , each person feel very depress . they want to find something to release their emotion . fortunately , the superman can match their feeling . in addition to this , the superman represent the whole American life style . He represent the whole American thinking  and needs , hope . During the War World 2 , he play the vital role in American . his behavior symbolize the thought of American citizen to push the government to take the war . though, it is not the major reason . however , the end of the war . no one will care about this issue . therefore , the superman should change his role to reflect  the modern issue . as you see in essay , he become the man to defend the authorities which want to destory the democracy and American belief  during the cold war . however, some criticize around the superman . he had to became his role again to enforce the ministry's law and protect the American benefit . Overall , superman will change to fi the trend of that  moment . I think this is why people the first image of Unite State . the superman will be the representative of U.S.A .
