"He was a mild, good-natured, sweet-tempered, easy-going, foolish, dear fellow--a sort of Hercules in strength, and also in weakness." (Dickens 13)
Hercules was an ancient Greek mythical demi-god figure, son of the mortal Alcemena and the god Zeus who impregnated her. He was incredibly strong, both physically and mentally, and completed the "12 labors," twelve tasks that were incredibly difficult and once completed as they were by Hercules, transformed him into a hero.

By calling Joe a "Hercules in strength, and also in weakness," this shows Joe's two sides, as extreme as Hercules'. Joe is married to a harsh and intense woman, Pip's sister, who does not treat him with kindness. Despite this, he persists and pushes onward, helping to bring Pip "up by hand."
hercules putlocker is entertaining pop corn flick from start till finish on los movies. Turn your brain off and enjoy it. It has cool action, bigger than life Dwayne Johnson as Hercules and good supporting stuff. I was laughing each time regarding running gag about Ian McShane death - funny stuff. This flick is miles better than bad movie that came out also this year "The Legend of Hercules", skip this one and watch "Hercules" instead - it's not the best summer movie of this year, but it's worth spending 90 min. on evening with some friends and beer.
