In order to become a hero‚ one must suffer pain to please themselves and others. In ‘Eveline’ by James Joyce and ‘Killings’ by Andre Dubus‚ the authors show their own versions of heroism. In ‘Eveline’‚ the main character‚ Eveline‚ gives up her future to fulfil a promise made to her mother. As for ‘Killings’‚ the main character‚ Matt becomes a hero for his wife and family when he kills the man who murdered his son.
