What is a hero? “In literature, a hero is courageous. A hero, or protagonist, is the principal character of a story, who may be known for special achievements.” (Lombardi 1) Based on the definition given by Esther Lombardi, a classic literature expert, Hamlet is not a hero, also based on some of the things Hamlet has said and done in the play up to now.
