Tristan Stardust Hero

In the beginning of Stardust, we become acquainted with our hero. Tristan Thorn, being the hero in question, does something wonderful over the plot of the movie. Tristan, still only a boy, does not seem to accomplish any great feats during the beginning of the film. Tristan fell in love with a wretched, greedy girl named Victoria. Victoria only cared about herself. Tristan did not possess any life skills that might make themselves beneficial to his very existence. When a man named Humphry challenged him to fence, the ensuing battle resulted in Tristan being defeated. Consequently, his atrocious abilities carried him to defeat at the hands of an ancient man guarding the opening in the wall that Tristan needed to cross. Tristan needed only to
During the course of the story, Tristan, infatuated with the wretched Victoria, loved the wrong woman. Tristan somehow remained caught under her spell even though Victoria exalted only material things in the world compared to whatever man might fall in love with her. The story progressed to the point where Tristan met the star named Yvaine. Despite a rocky start to the relationship, (falling out of the sky and landing on a girl is not very romantic) Tristan and Yvaine grew close during their adventure. After meeting the Captain, Tristan slowly grew to love Yvaine. Of course, it helped a little when the Captain whispered to Tristan that true love existed in front of him the whole time.

Yvaine knew about love. Yvaine even said “The little I know of love is that it’s unconditional; it’s not something you can buy.” The moment Tristan learned about love changed him for the better. Tristan looked forward to a happy future with Yvaine at his side and no longer acted like a simpleton who chased after a wretched, greedy, and popular girl. The truth made Tristan mature through understanding that love did not require worldly objects or monetary based ideas (like Victoria’s messed up ideas on how to fall in love). Tristan became a man through his love for Yvaine. Tristan now looked towards a wonderful future full of happiness with the true love of his life, and what idea exists that defines itself as manlier than the idea of finding one’s true
