This is an example of an oxymoron: a “bad” life ending in death and a “good” life supporting a family. The man is part of both, committing crimes not for fun, but to provide for who he loves – hence why he is to be hanged, presumably for stealing food.

Once the danger that requires the hero’s attention is over, he can spend time with his beloved. And the two Spider-Man sequels show getting this time isn’t easy – Peter spends so much time focusing on “saving the world” that he has problems keeping up with his relationship with Mary Jane (he went out to see her play, but stopping a robbery made him get late).

Perhaps the stereotypical image of Playboy. The adult magazine company is famous for its mansion, the home of founder Hugh Hefner and the team of “Playboy bunnies.” The rich and famous trip there for a…vacation.

In 2013, the original blue suede shoes sold at auction for $80,000.
