While The Man Who Would Be King is a critique of British Empire, it is also a profound story of male friendship. Describe these two main characters. Danny and Peachy,
and the bond that they share. What is the basis for the friendship? is it internal or external or a combination? What unites them? Why are they so loyal to one another
throughout despite the dramatic turn of events in the story? This is a buddy film and an action film, and one could argue that it is a powerful love story &
celebration of male friendship. What makes their friendship particularly male? Is female friendship different from male friendship? Would the film be different if the
main characters were female? These are questions to consider in your essay response. You CAN BASE Your ANALYSIS on scenes from the film and your own experiences, and
observations about male friendships versus female friendships.
