~ Satan to the viewers. |
Satan, also known as The Mysterious Stranger, is a minor antagonist in the 1985 clay animated film The Adventures of Mark Twain. He was based on the character created by Twain for his novel No. 44, the Mysterious Stranger.
His voice was provided through a combination of both Michele Mariana and Wilbur Vincent.
Biography[]
The Mysterious Stranger appears when Mark Twain pushes a button that is entitled The Mysterious Stranger. Tom asks him what he is, and he stated that he was an angel. When asked of his name, however, he calls himself Satan.
He then takes Tom, Huck Finn, and Becky Thatcher to an island in a black void and gives them each fruits of their choosing. He then asks them to do him a favor, and he hands them clay.
They then craft together a small kingdom and inhabitants, and the Mysterious Stranger brings them to life. While discussing humanity with the children, he sows seeds of discord among his creations, leading to the destruction of the kingdom through greed, showing what he believed humans to be. He then destroys the kingdom with an earthquake, and shows how human life is fleeting and corrupt. His face menacingly peels back into a skull, as he tells the children not to worry, they can always make more, and are welcome to play with him any time they want.
The children then flee from Satan, and he is left alone in the void.
Personality[]
Satan is defined as a nihilistic entity which is infinite and formless, which can generate illusions and avatars to communicate with others. Due to his immortality and omnipotence, he sees mortals as expendable and useless. His beings are all bastardizations of human nature and reflect selfishness and violence. This reveals that Satan is a misanthrope who can only see the bad aspects of mankind and believes all humans to be evil and pitiless. He even mocks the more compassionate elements of humanity like mourning the dead or throwing celebrations, and believes everything humans do is pointless. His dialogue and illusions are all carefully patented to crush spirits and extinguish hope. He is also hypocritical as he judges humans for their greed and cruelty despite proceeding to create and destroy lifeforms for his own amusement.
