In star wars 3 revenge of the sith Anakin Skywalker makes many decisions. Some decisions he make were his lack of self control and trusting Palpatine. He loved his wife Pademe and was willing to do anything to save her. He also had to choose from being the Jedi or saving his wife because when you are a Jedi you are not supposed to be married. He picked some risky decisions so that lead him to becoming Darth Vader.
Anakin had difficulty in self control so that lead him in becoming Darth Vader. Also he didn’t know how to keep his thoughts and feelings in check. In the previous episodes Anakin had a vision of his mother’s death but he arrived too late to save his mother. He was devastated when this happened to her. So in revenge he decided to kill his mother captors. Right at that moment that’s when he went out of control and did not know how to keep his feelings in check. In knowing this we know he will have another out break. Later on Anakin had another vision of his wife Padme Amidala passing away during child birth. So he attempts save her but also fails once again. On this not it leads me to my second reason.
Anakin married Padme Amidala in secret because the Jedi order forbidden marriage and relationships. So when he had the vision of Padme he couldn’t run to his Jedi master for guidance or help. So he met the evil Sith Lord Palpatine, Darth Sidious, he wanted Anakin to betray the Jedi and be his evil apprentice and do his evil work. He also promised him if he helped him he would help him save his wife. So Anakin thought of his wife because she was caring his children so he went with Palpatine. In doing that Palpatine gained Anakin’s trust and had him turn against the Jedi. So he turned into a monster and this made him turn into Darth Vader.
The point that Anakin was totally lost was when he choked Padme. Padme and his mentor Obi-Wan had know idea what he was doing but later found out that he went to Palpatine and has sided with him. Padme found where he was staying and tried to talk it out with him, but she was in shock with what he was saying. She didn’t even recognize him because he was a monster. He would promise her that they would rule the world but she dint not care for that she only wanted to be him and didn’t want him to cause harm to others. Anakin looked and saw that Obi-Wan was with her. He was furious because he thought he convinced her that he was evil. So that’s when he chokes her. Later after Obi-Wan and Anakin are done fighting Padme was rushed to the hospital and gave birth to twins but later passes away. The only thing that Anakin is wondering is if Padme is ok but finds out that she passes away. He is devastated and regrets what he did.
In conclusion Anakin is the fallen hero because he not only caused harm to others but to himself as well. He turned into a monster and killed his wife with his own two hands. So these thoughts tormented him and caused him to suffer. He wasn’t born evil he turned evil in thought of helping his beloved wife. I also think that he didn’t have a chance of remaining a Jedi because he couldn’t go to his mentor for help when he saw the vision of is wife. He also thought in trusting in Palpatine he would save his wife but he didn’t know the out come of trusting would cause hi, to hurt his loved one.
