No, i do not sympathise with the joker.
First of all, he has proved himself to be a cunning and cruel man by turning his man against one and other and asking each of them to kill each other during the heist. One of them said that he had 'killed the alarm guy, because the boss said he should get rid of him after his job was done so everyone will get a bigger share of the money' just moments before he realised that the joker had also told someone else the same thing and was then killed. During the heist, all of the henchmen were killed and the last person, the driver, was killed by the joker who was in disguise .The joker had made use of his henchmen’s' greed and was cunning enough to think of such an idea which ultimately makes him the one who gets all the money. This proofs that he is a self-centered and cunning man, who cannot be trusted.
Secondly, the joker treats murder as a form of leisure, and kills people at whim, which makes him an inhumane person. He also kills for money. He feels that ‘why do something for free when you are good at it’. He would kill anyone who gets into his way and also kill people just to get to his goals. He told everyone on the television that 'as long as batman doesn't show his face in public, people in Gotham city shall die every day. He makes good of his threat and killed numerous people in different and horrifying ways which the police could not stop. In the end, he was just trying to prove that batman can also be corrupted. This also shows that he does not take the lives of others seriously.
Though the joker has had a sad and miserable past, I feel that that does not give him the right to take away lives. He should not be killing people and making the victim’s family sad and miserable like him, instead he should be trying to help people.
What have i learnt from the lesson:
From this lesson, i learnt that villians may not only be bad, they may also have a good side to them. Though first impressions do matter, we should always take time with someone before we judge his or her character.
