THE OUTSIDERS Heroes are an important part of our society. A hero is a person that puts other before themselves. In the outsiders by S.E Hinton‚ there are many characters that play important roles in the theme of the story. The theme shows that not everything is the way it appears. This is the case when identifying heroes in this story. Some characters are so strong‚ they become the heroes of the story.

I perceive Othello’s character at this point in the play to be Naïve‚ honorable and honest; he really has nothing to hide. His naïveté’s will cause Othello to make bad decisions and shows that Iago (the villainous character that hates Othello and wants to ruin Othello) can easily deceive Othello through his insecurities and self-consciousness of being a black outsider. We are shown these characteristics

In the short story “The Outsider” by Lovercraft‚ there are many themes projected. Although‚ the feel that the author is trying to project is in order to prevent loneliness you must accept who you are.

Characters fit in these two categories‚ but there is also a hidden category‚ the outsiders. This is a category where characters who don’t truly fit in the groups of the Greasers and the Socs go. However‚ there are rarely any outsiders‚ they are special characters. I believe Ponyboy Curtis‚ Sherri Valance‚ and Johnny Cade all lie in this secret category. PonyBoy and Johnny are both technically
