Mike Hammer ? Hard-Boiled Outcast or Superhero?

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This article focuses on Mickey Spillane's hard-boiled detective Mike Hammer and his portrayal in numerous novels. Here I try to ascertain why is the character of Mike Hammer either deplored or appreciated by the critics or readers when compared to otherhard-boiled detectives (Chandler's Marlowe, Hammett's Spade or Macdonald's Archer) ? he is regarded an outcast for some, and a superhero for others. In spite of being tamed by current standards (1950's), Spillane created a new 'sort' of a private detective. Mike Hammer is an archetypal 'hard man' ? an isolated private investigator despising the legal system, war veteran, patriot, anti-communist with high sex drive and at the same time a brutally violent revenge-seeker. He is nothing like Marlowe, Spadeor Archer, he is not solving crimes for money or to bring the criminal in front of the jury for a fair trial, he is the avenger who is 'cleansing' the society, or righting the wrong in his own way ? 'eye for an eye'.
