Unlike in Beowulf, they are generally low-key doctors who work to find the panacea for the world's ills, the politicians struggling for the rights of their people, the mothers who do anything to make the lives of their children better. All heroes have significant qualities. Many have the impression that heroes are people who have done something that is "cool" or singles them out. There are countless definitions of heroes, but most people's ideas about the characteristics of a hero are fairly consistent. It is important that a hero's cause is for the "good". A hero must be courageous and intrepid, meeting obstacles without fear. They have to be willing to fight with perseverance for their cause with determination and dedication. Another especially important quality is selflessness, to do it with unselfish concern for others, not for profit. Heroes must have conviction and focus in their purpose. Many accept that the willingness to sacrifice is perhaps the most important quality of a hero, the forfeiture of something highly valued for a cause. Once these guidelines are taken into consideration, many "heroes" are excluded, such as sporting greats, politicians and war…

In nearly every tale, the story line contains multiple characters whom depict both good and “evil” qualities. In other words, they reveal opposite interpretations. These drastic differences can be drawn due to the lack of specifics in the reading. One interpretation may portray a character as pure and innocent. In another, they may appear at fault. Shakespeare’s famous play, Hamlet, illustrates this notion through an accumulation of characters. Of the many, Ophelia may strike one as the innocent virgin, or rather the selfish and corrupt whore. An overall analysis may be useful in determining which portrayal is more accurate.…

A Hero is not based off of the size and shape or even if they have super abilities. Although a hero could have those qualities, that’s not all a hero is. A hero is a person noted for courageous acts or nobility of character. Heros differ for each person, depending on what qualities they find admirable. Twenty first century heroes from the modern world won't have special abilities like heroes do in comic books. Someone who helps another out of a hard time or makes another feel joy is a hero even if the person is not famous does not mean they are not considered a hero. Demi Lovato is a hero. She is a hero because of all the courageous acts she has done. Demi is a major contributor to charities, she was involved in seventeen charities, eighty seven articles, twenty two causes, and five videos.…
One could argue that the actors in the play that proved Claudius was in fact a killer are heros because they didn't let a guilty man walk. Hamlet might also be defined as a hero because he avenged his father but he waited until he had facts to do so. However there are those who might say that Hamlet and the Actors are not heros at all, but in fact are the villains in that story because they either directly or indirectly killed someone. Both sides of the argument can be proved true depending on whom is asked and their definition of a…
