Is Odysseus truly a hero? In the Odyssey he is portrayed as a stout man with superior fighting expertise. But is that all a hero is made of or is there more? I hope to prove to you, the reader, that although Odysseus was a good man, father, and husband, he isn't the hero he seems to be. In my eyes a hero is someone who does everything for the good, jumps into situations others are hesitant in venturing, and lying their life down for others. First of all we must recognize the fact that he fought in

individuals that are considered heroic according to the scale yet are not people one should aspire to be. A hero is far more than the milestones he prevails and the qualities he possesses should be a significant factor in evaluating his heroism. For example, both Samson and Achilles are considered heroes in their cultures but they are by no means exemplary men. Samson is seen as an Israelite hero yet he is both impulsive and aggressive, he killed many people from a neighbouring tribe after not getting

My modern day hero I am comparing to beowulf is a soldier, my seem like they don't have a lot in common, but they really do. Like soldiers, beowulf love to fight, and show off their strength.

They experience many feelings of depression and yearning. They wish that they never joined the cause, and forget everything else. A hero that shared many

Heroism is most commonly seen in the form of the hero restoring order to a situation that was chaotic, however I believe that both introducing order and introducing chaos depending on the circumstances can be heroic. Many people believe that heroism can only be when a hero introduces order to chaos. This is a very common and sensical belief because some of the first ideas that come to your mind when you think hero would be something like Superman or Batman. These characters install order after a

While there are many differences between the lead characters in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Beowulf—Beowulf is able to save many people during his battles and is more spiritual, while Gawain’s battle was with himself and he pays more attention to his morals—there are also similarities between the two. In fact, many fail to recognize that both characters share similarities throughout their individual stories. These similarities come with human error making each knight memorable and more realistic

Beowulf finally arose. Engulfed in darkness he is bewildered. He recalls his fight with the dastardly dragon that sought to destroy his people. He also remembers the honorable Wiglaf, who fought by his side, while his men fled, and betrayed him. He walks. Beowulf thinks of where he is, and why he is where he is. It isn’t until Beowulf hears a loud voice. “Beowulf,” it said. Frightened, and perturbed, he replied, “Hello, who is speaking. Show yourself. Who are you?” The voice speaks again. (1) “Beowulf
