程度の副詞

So many people in distress have said this,

and do we really even need a hero at all?

Well, if you look at any piece of literature

But, heroes come in all shapes and sizes,

depending on what needs to be dealt with.

Epic heroes usually come from a famous family,

They take on challenges that no one else will

He travels across the sea with his band of warriors

to help another king defeat a supernatural monster

In his old age, he has one more monster to face,

one more threat that he must keep from his people,

Tragic heroes are usually leaders or powerful characters,

but the tragic hero is also majorly flawed

and that flaw usually leads him down the path

Take the story of Oedipus the King, for example.

One day, a young man travels to a town called Thebes.

in the first documented case of road rage.

and is rewarded by becoming the King of Thebes,

The queen he just married is actually his birth mother!

but instead he was given to another family.

So he killed his father and married his mother.

Romeo Montague is a guy born into a wealthy family

and finds the love of his life at a party, Juliet.

and his impatience leads to bloodshed and death,

they might have a better love life and chance at happiness,

But there is something magical about them.

and then are separated from their family.

They could also reject the expectations of society

and adhere to their own code of morality.

the hero triumphs over evil in an idyllic way,

but at great personal, emotional sacrifice.

King Arthur is a good example of a romantic hero.

Sure, he became king and married the love of his life,

and had his wife cheat on him with his best friend.

So, although he, too, like Beowulf, was a great king,

which makes him more human and relatable to us all.

There are different heroes for different situations.
