What this that thing

The words above are to be read as if they are narrated by Morgan Freeman.

You're right. Perhaps a good image would be of Himura Kenshin...He's shown plenty of times next to his former self, the Hitokiri Battosai... Perhaps one of those images would work?

Eh. I only know Kenshin is atoning because I read it.

Maybe Zuko from Avatar? I don't watch it all that much but I know he switched sides to make up for something.

This trope might be unimagable, considering it's going to mostly need a caption to show it.

Edit: Errr, besides using two images that is.

Or a comic image.

This is going to need at least two pictures. One where the character looks and what he did and having My God, What Have I Done? moment and another where he/she sets out, looking determined to do something about it.

I agree with the Kenshin Idea. Maybe the caption should be something like "He has that scar for a reason"

First thing I thought of was perhaps a Knight from myth setting on some quest to atone for his sins.

I can't think of anything that would fit that though.

Maybe the last panel or two of this comic. But that's a huge maybe. I'm just throwing it out there.

I think a picture of the kind where someone kneels with a sword to give themselves up in service would work. You don't really need to show bad being done, because the acting of being sorry, asking for forgiveness implies a bad thing.

The hard part is showing someone actively trying to make it better. Either a panel of a webcomic where someone says "i want to make this right" or the sword thing as before

I vote for My Name Is Earl, that Kenshin fellow reeks of Fan Myopia.

Has anyone actually proposed an image?

There's the last two panels of this El Goonish Shive strip that was proposed earlier...it's so-so, but it's better than the zombie pic by far.

Ah, screw it. The title speak for itself, since any english-speaking adult knows what the word atoner means.

I'm not really a fan of the EGS strip. I'm not finding anything in the examples either.
