What makes a hero? Is it muscles? What about intelligence? In fact‚ in early Greek and Middle Eastern cultures‚ muscles and brains had nothing to do in the making of a hero.

Society’s perception of heroism is similar to that of an image of a pile of rocks on an ocean floor; blurry‚ and misconceived. We look for the exceptional traits of a hero--good looks‚ agility‚ and robustness--and designate those traits as the definition of a hero‚ but what really defines a hero?

when defending himself against accusations from Brabantio after Iago and Rodrigo tell him that Othello and Desdemona are married: “my parts‚ my title‚ and my perfect soul”.
