Superman: an unreal dream... So different from everything, but so equal... No one can be like that, because everybody already is...
Clark Kent is a good guy. Too much good to be real. He is the strongest living creature in the world, however, at the same time, he is able to be one of the weakest too…
Does Kryptonite make him weak? Oh no, that’s just a symbolic allusion to his true fear: life. He knows he doesn’t belong to anywhere. He can’t find home because there is no home for him. That’s what makes him more human than any human.
Deep Inside his heart, he knows he’s not different from Lex Luthor; a fanatic for saving people when it becomes clear he can’t save himself. The only difference is his super strength.
Now, a good point of the story: his glasses. That’s a very intelligent metaphor. When Clark takes off his glasses and becomes unrecognizable, he shows his real face. He tries to put all his fault on his enemies, but he can’t see that no one is really guilty: the destiny of everything in the whole universe is in each small grain of sand. We are all responsible for everything.
Villains? Not Lex Luthor, not Brainiac, none super bad guy. Oh, no, the truth is superman’s worst enemy and the glasses are the best mask for him, because when Clark Takes them off, he becomes even blinder.
Conclusion: Superman is a stereotype of the entire human race. He is strong and invulnerable in his appearance, but even the smallest peace of rock can hurt him. Aren’t we all like this?
