"Hoo-Boy! Now I've heard it all! And there was Genghis Khan. And Nero. Throughout history cheap punks have tried to make themselves leaders. But in spite of their titles, they were still cheap punks!"
A sort of "Heroic Rebel", these are characters who do believe in doing good and set out to do the right thing, but also believe that the law gets in the way of doing the right thing and as such deliberately operate outside of authority and are usually either contemptuous of or distrustful of authority. Chaotic Good characters will only work with authority figures if absolutely necessary and are much more comfortable working outside of it and fighting evil on their own terms. Basically they're more "screw the rules" as opposed to Neutral Good characters, who don't care if they happen to break the rules but also don't set out to do so. It's also worth mentioning that Chaotic Good characters tend to be just a bit more prone to ruthless behavior than other Good characters.
On that note we come to another text-book example of this. Robin Hood is the heroic outlaw who in most versions of his story continues to operate as an outlaw even after the rightful king returns precisely because Robin Hood believes that he does the most good when he's not being tied down by any kind of authority.
Like his fellow archers Robin Hood and Green Arrow Hawkeye's got little to no respect for authority, even when serving on either SHIELD or the Avengers. He's a loudmouth who doesn't like taking orders from others, and frequently butts heads with his peers and challenges Captain America and Iron Man's leadership.
Another excellent example of this, being a man who almost never plays by anyone's rules and usually grumbles a lot whenever he does. Definitely a loose cannon, but one who nevertheless desires to do good.
The merciless vampire hunter who is pretty much forced to operate outside of society just by virtue of being who he is. Besides that he does not take orders well and is difficult to work with in a team environment.
Somewhere in-between this and Neutral Good I'd say. As the Sorcerer Supreme Doctor Strange deals with magical and supernautral threats to the planet, and due to the nature of both his powers and the foes he fights he is often forced to operate outside of society. In fact in the character's early years the general public didn't even know Doctor Strange existed!
Like Blade he's a tireless crusader against supernatural forces and as such is pretty much forced to operate outside of society. He's also never depicted as being particularly considerate of rules and authority and is also an Anti-Hero, so...
Cocky, immature, reckless, and hot-headed. Needless to say given all of those things it's no surprise that he also sometimes has authority issues. But despite all of that he is also still one of Marvel's most major heroes, so he fits this.
Has even less respect for authority than his predecessor sometimes does, also being a pseudo-freedom fighter against the corrupt mega-corporations and other authoritative powers of his dystopian future, in particular Alchemax. And speaking of his predecessor...
In the Amazing Spider-Man films, where he's particularly contemptuous of authority, particularly his line of "I think he's doing something that maybe the police CAN'T". I could also make an argument for his being this in the Spectacular Spider-Man show, at least in the earlier episodes. The version of him seen in Spider-Man Noir is also this.
The movie version, who makes it abundantly clear many times than he has absolutely no respect for authority and goes out of his way to operate outside of it as much as he possibly can. Kind of ironic given how his 616 counterpart tends to act.
When a hero, as she remains just a bit morally ambiguous and continues to operate completely outside of authority, also never having any real respect for it. But she has also at her best protected Gotham City, particularly it's East End and is ultimately way more altruistic and caring about others than she'd ever want to admit.
Sometimes, particularly when written by Gail Simone where as Oracle she has no problem committing unauthorized hacks and taking information that does not belong to her, but only ever in service to the greater good.
A very paranoid and cynical superhero and conspiracy theorist who doesn't have much reason to trust the government and authority, much less work within it. Not to mention that he was the inspiration for Rorschach, another Chaotic-aligned character, so...
Modern depictions of the character tend to have him as being somewhere in-between this and Neutral Good as a rather rebellious space-cop who frequently disobeys his superior's orders when he feels they get in the way.
The Guardian of the Universe and more specifically the Earth. However his status as protector does not necessarily extend to humanity, and he has no real loyal to any formal authority or institutions, instead being most concerned with preserving the existence of the Earth and keeping it safe from all kinds of threats.
She is a Jedi, but it's worth noting that not only is she just a tad rebellious, she also clearly values the Jedi's existence more than the Republic and ultimately does not seem all that loyal to the Republic. She even entertains the idea of the Jedi taking over in full.
A Gray Jedi who does not agree with the Jedi Council's draconian and puritanical views and instead prefers to do good and be good on his own terms, also leaving the Jedi Order outright. Make no mistake though: he's still very much dedicated to battling against the forces of the Dark Side and in fact is one of the loudest critics of a Dark Side-aligned player.
Star Wars sure does love it's heroic scoundrels doesn't it? This one happens to share a game with the above example and is along with Torian Cadera the main voice of reason and morality in the Bounty Hunter's party.
The "Paragade" version, being a Shepard who is still well-meaning and largely heroic but also more rebellious and resistant to authority than a pure Paragon, not to mention more prone to ruthless behavior.
BIG TIME in Mass Effect 2 given that he now despises the, as he puts it "bureaucratic crap on the Citadel", operates as a righteous vigilante, and is also far more brutal than many of Shepard's other squadmates.
Like Garrus, she becomes a lot more brutal and ruthless in Mass Effect 2, and as an information broker (and then future Shadow Broker) she operates pretty comfortably outside of any established authority or system of government.
Post character development, where he sets himself up as leader of his people and fights tooth and nail to preserve them, but is also suspicious and distrustful of most outsiders and isn't all that interested in the authority of the Council or the races that comprise it.
Most people would say he's Lawful Good, but the fact is, Jacob is VERY cynical regarding authority and has just as little faith in the Alliance and the Council as Garrus does. Ergo, he's Chaotic Good.
As a heroic and charming thief, she's somewhere in-between this and Chaotic Neutral. I personally see her as being more the latter, but an argument can be made in favor of her being this. Largely having to do with her being frankly one of the nicest and LEAST brutal of all your different party members.
An independent kunoichi (female ninja) who operates completely outside of authority and working from the shadows. Also of note is that she rejects the power of Soul Calibur just as much as she does Soul Edge, even though the former represents "order".
A very quirky and eccentric Samurai who seems to have a very Robin Hood-esque methodology, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, which he also does in his SCIII ending. His mercurial and free-spirited nature also goes a long way towards showing him to be Chaotic, and he is also benevolent and fighting against the forces of evil, so...
While fighting to save her sister from Soul Edge's evil influence, she still has a clear rebellious and sassy streak to her, and definitely doesn't seem like the kind of person to just let someone else tell her what to do.
Admittedly I don't know that much about the character, as my knowledge of Street Fighter is practically nil, but what little I do know suggests she is a fairly good character, and she doesn't seem terribly Lawful, so she's either this or Neutral Good.
As a whole, though at their worst and most ruthless they tend to inch more into Chaotic Neutral territory. That said they're still usually this due to being anarchists who operate outside of authority but also being well-meaning crusaders against evil.
The Disney version (and yes, Mulan was a character who existed before the Disney film). As the Emperor himself put it: she stole her father's armor, ran away from home, impersonated a soldier, deceived her commanding officer, destroyed his palace, and...saved the day. Rebellious but good tends to point in only one direction, and that's this one.
In at least one High Fantasy setting but probably more, they are listed as being of Chaotic Good alignment. Me personally I always figured Elves could be any good alignment and might even prefer order and thus be Lawful, but...
The Crucible is usually studied in the Australian curriculum under Area of Study 1 - Text Response. For a detailed guide on Text Response, check out our Ultimate Guide to VCE Text Response.
These concepts will be fully unpacked later, but it is important to keep these key notions of hysteria, accusation and blind faith in mind as you study the text. These are the fundamental ideas that the play is based upon, and also the elements which make The Crucible hugely relevant in our society today. One could even say that the development of technology has made it easier for false allegations and social rumours to spread - leading to drastic consequences specific to the 21st century, such as the leaking of critical government information and cyberbullying. Not to mention, the anonymity of technology has enabled individuals to start modern-day witch hunts as a nameless, faceless user behind the comfort and security of their screens!
