Yes, there are. For example, 'The Great Gatsby' can be considered in a way. Jay Gatsby is involved in illegal activities to gain wealth and win back his love. He's not a completely upright character. Another one could be 'Macbeth' by Shakespeare. Macbeth's ambition drives him to commit heinous crimes like murder to gain power.
Yes, there might be. In Hungarian literature, there could be characters who are like 'the man with the golden touch' in various ways. However, without specific research on a large number of Hungarian novels, it's hard to name a particular one directly. Some novels may have characters who are extremely lucky or have a special ability to turn everything they do into success, which can be related to this concept.
I'm not aware of any novels specifically titled 'bad ending maker novel'. However, there are many novels with sad or bad endings. For example, 'A Farewell to Arms' by Ernest Hemingway has a rather tragic ending. The relationship between the main characters doesn't end well, and it shows the harshness of war and life.
There could be some stories in local folklore where a man is tickled. Maybe in some small communities, there are tales of a trickster who would tickle men to make them lose their composure. However, these are not widely known on a global scale. It's more of a light - hearted, community - based type of story.
Heinrich Böll's 'Group Portrait with Lady' can also be considered. It shows how the main characters navigate through the post - war German society which was highly influenced by the government's policies and bureaucracy. The characters often find themselves at odds with the system.
One of the famous bad boys in novels is Heathcliff from 'Wuthering Heights'. He is brooding and vengeful. Another is Mr. Rochester from 'Jane Eyre'. He has a dark past and some rather moody and controlling tendencies at times. Then there's Tom Buchanan in 'The Great Gatsby'. He is wealthy, arrogant and has a mean streak.
An example of a story between a good person and a bad person is as follows: Once upon a time, there was a good man who was kind, upright, and helpful. Every day, he would help those who needed help, whether they were rich or poor. He had never lied to others or betrayed them. His life was very simple. Every day, he would help those who needed help and then go home to watch television. On the contrary, there was a bad person in this world who was selfish, cunning, and sinister. He liked to deceive others and always tried to get what he wanted. He never helped others and always bullied others. His life was very complicated. He always did bad things and hurt others. One day, the bad guy heard about a man who needed help. The man lived in a remote village and his life was very difficult. The bad guy decided to help the man and came to the village with weapons and supplies. When the bad man arrived at the village, he saw that the person in need was crying because he had no food or water. The bad guy decided to give the man some food and water and then leave. The good guy saw the bad guy leave and decided to chase after him. He ran to the bad guy's hiding place and found that the bad guy was giving a gift to another person. The good guys decided to fight the bad guys. In the end, the good guy defeated the bad guy and saved that person. The bad guy was moved by the courage and justice of the good guy and decided to learn from the good guy to become a better person. This story tells us that good and justice will triumph over evil. No matter what kind of challenges we face, as long as we maintain justice and courage, we can defeat the enemy and become better people.
One famous - ish story could be the Legend of Green Jack. He was a highwayman who was said to have a green tinge to his skin, as if he had some sort of otherworldly connection. People believed he was cursed and had to rob to survive. He would target wealthy merchants on the highway. His greenish appearance made him seem like a part of the forest, and he was very difficult to catch as he could blend in well with the trees and bushes at night.
One example could be some episodes in certain science - fiction TV shows where there are such scenarios. However, it's not a very common trope in mainstream famous stories.
There are also some mythological stories that can be considered in this regard. For example, in some Greek myths, a hero might be in a situation where he is trapped or in bondage due to the wrath of a god or a curse. His journey to break free from this situation often involves facing many challenges and using his special abilities or the help of other characters.
There don't seem to be any famous 'Flashed Mail Man Stories' that I can think of. In the world of literature, we have many stories about mailmen, but none that are typically associated with this 'flashed' concept. It could be that this is a very niche or even a brand - new idea that hasn't had time to gain fame. It could also be that it's a very specific and personal kind of story within a particular community or family that hasn't broken out into the wider world of storytelling.
