In the novel, Francis Cassavant is the main protagonist who returns from war with horrific wounds and scars. Also, Francis can be described as a character with deeply rooted issues as when he was young he heard the girl he loved get raped by the man who he believed to be a hero. The theme of heroism is something widely discussed in the novel, Francis’ image of heroes have been distorted from seeing all the terrible and cowardly things he, and other people who were referred to as heroes, did. He struggles to see himself as a hero, despite having saved many lives, as he viewed the actions he took to be a so-called hero as cowardly and unworthy of gaining this title.

Many people say that the metal of a man is found in his ability to keep his ideals in spite of anything that life can through at you. If a man is found to have done these things he can be called a hero.

To begin, Linda Seger’s article demonstrates how the idea of a hero is universal and is defined by their journey, which is incorrect because other cultures might define a hero as something else. In her article, she tries using ten stages of how a hero is sometimes just an ordinary person. Who then takes in order

In the eyes of today’s society, heroes are viewed as citizens who have accomplished what seems to be the impossible. Whether imaginary or not, heroes are looked at with awe and congratulated for what they have done for the society. However, there is a much simpler way to be a hero. A hero does not have to be able to climb walls, fly over the city, or even save someone from a burning building right before it crumbles down. A hero is simply someone who goes out of the way to give help to those around them that need it. This hero does not need recognition in what he or she does, but takes pride in what they have accomplished for others. In the novel Till We Have Faces by C. S. Lewis, Bardia, the King’s lead guard, acts as the hero for Orual

In 1949, Joseph Campbell published his book “The Hero with a Thousand Faces.” It details his theory of the “monomyth,” a theory that illustrates how many heroic mythological stories have similar outlines and archetypes. During his discussion of the second chapter of the monomyth, Campbell says that the monomyth can “serve as a general pattern for men and women” in their everyday lives (121). In many circumstances, comparisons can be made between normal situations throughout life and the monomyth. When a challenge of task is encountered in life, it can be analyzed under the three main stages of the monomyth: the departure, the initiation, and the return.

In the novel ‘Heroes’ it is shown that there is no such thing as a real hero, because everyone has a weakness, Cormier uses Larry LaSalle, Francis Cassavannt and the veterans as a way to convey this message. The protagonist Francis is portrayed as having both heroic and cowardly personality; this forces the reader to consider what makes a real hero. To some people a hero might be someone with great strength or ability. Perhaps someone admired for their great achievements or great qualities. But in this case it is someone who is admired for their great courage and nobility a man in contrast to Francis Cassavant.

Thesis: The meaning of a hero is subjective, it is more than just an act of selflessness, it is about overcoming conflict, challenging the universal meaning of courage, and persevering with humility. One of the rules of life is to help yourself before helping others, without an understanding of oneself, the ability to aid someone is limited. Such understanding comes from the journey through the special world which peaks at a crisis. The concept of the Hero’s Journey created by Christopher Vogler shows the template that a character, fictional or nonfictional, must go through in order to be considered a hero.

Heroes are ordinary people who do not fly or wear super-protective suits, but inherit special qualities and traits, which kindle them to accept the call to adventure as expressed in the Greek Myths. In Edith Hamilton’s Book Mythology, several characters, including Odysseus from “The Adventures of Odysseus” and the Argonauts from “The Quest of the Golden Fleece”, demonstrates heroism in various ways for conquering their challenge. Due to the necessity of developing crucial skills such as perseverance and courage, many characters discover that it is indeed very challenging to be a hero, whereas several other characters realize that it is less complicated to be a hero due to the interventions of powerful and wise mentors. Firstly, heroes, being

Joseph Campbell, an American scholar, defined the Hero’s Journey in twelve separate stages within two halves,

There are many facets that can either make or break someone as a “hero”. In literature, a hero does not necessarily have to be a knight in shining armor, a caped crusader, or an exact replica of the archetype but, there are certain qualities and expectations that determine what makes a hero. A typical hero has strength, appeal, courage, righteousness, and success, meaning that they have the physical and mental capabilities that can lead them to eventually achieve their goals. In most cases, the protagonist of a story is the hero, but this is not true in “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” by Washington Irving. Set in Sleepy Hollow, the story chronicles schoolmaster, Ichabod Crane’s, time and sudden disappearance from the “haunted” town.

In America, we idolize and love heroes. There’s Batman, Spiderman, and Superman. All three have superhuman powers, but is that what makes a hero? Is having unreal abilities the only way to be a hero? The answer is no, the answer is that heroes are all around us. The problem is that we are often daydreaming about unreal figures so much that we overlook the real ones right in front of us. One person that might get overlooked is Michael Mullis. One glance at him wouldn’t tell you he was a hero. He doesn’t have muscles upon muscles or shoot lasers out of his eyes; nonetheless, a little look into his life will show you he’s worthy of being called a hero.

How we act or react in difficult situations defines our persona. Sometimes these situations provide opportunities to be a hero. After reading Grant Wiggins’s own definition of a hero, it is apparent that Grant becomes a hero. Grant states, “A hero is someone who does something for other people. He does something that other men don’t and cant to. He is different from other men. He is above other men. No matter who those other men are, the hero, no matter who he is, is above them.” Grant becomes a hero by earning an education to become a teacher, undergoing psychological changes, and counseling Jefferson to die with dignity.

While reading Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave” I immediately saw similarities to a major life-changing event from my past. The life I was living was a cave that I did not even know I was stuck in. This life culminated in pain and suffering for myself and for others, yet it also facilitated the process of letting me find true freedom within myself. Through education and self-reflection, I was able to pull myself out of my cave, and now I work to bring others out of their caves as well.
