Beowulf and Sir Gawain – True Heroes Heroes come in many forms. The construction of "the heroic" has taken many forms, yet traits such as: courage, honor, and loyalty, reappear as themes throughout the "hero" personality. The characters of Beowulf and Sir Gawain each represent a version of a hero, yet each comes across quite differently in their story. A hero can be said to truly win if he remains constant to his noble values when put in any situation that crosses his way. When measured by that criterion, Sir Gawain stands out above Beowulf as a true hero, due to his command of both personal and spiritual power through the use of thought, as well as valiant deeds.

Cyrano de Bergerac does what he pleases and most actually says whatever is on his mind. He speaks through prideful actions, always thinking of how to make himself stand out or to look intelligent. He never backs down from a fight or a confrontation, and this is often where his pride will continuously persuade his sense. Cyrano only grows in pride, and his temper grows shorter, through the play so the characters don't even say the word 'nose' anywhere near him. Cyrano was a good tragic hero that the audience loves who sadly has tragic flaws that cause his demise.

He also learned a lesson from his mistakes which ultimately creates a catharsis in the reading audience. Beowulf, on the other hand, is characterized by the standards of an epic hero. He strives for excellence and individual glory by doing heroic deeds. He has an admirable set of ethics, is great warrior, and is very loyal to his master. Beowulf is also rewarded for his deeds with fame and fortune.

Unfortunately, his insolence blinded him and manipulated his fair judgement.

For the hero, the highest good is glory and the highest evil is shame. Beowulf, the son of Ecgtheow and Hygelac’s thane is introduced by Heaney as a valiant warrior. The reader immediately notices that Beowulf is well respected.

It is a new land to Odysseus. Any other man would rightfully fear for his life, not knowing what possible danger is to come. But for Odysseus, his mindset shines through so clearly, that most people gravitate towards him, much like the Phaeacians.

This proves an accurate depiction of human nature, as humans can show themselves as either virtuous or vicious given the situation they are involved. As civilizations evolved, many leaders have risen to power, and have proved either a valiant ruler, or a tyrant. The corruption of power has been evident throughout the course of human culture through the mistakes, and successes of man. If you desire to test a man’s character, simply provide him power – instances of this include; the primitive savagery of man’s heart, the overwhelming choices people are faced with, and the personal sense of nobility in each individual. All beings know the lust, and temptation of savagery; to be subjected to feral instincts, and desire to ravage as was intended by nature.

Odysseus has the skills, strength, and intelligence to qualify him as a hero, yet he still possess the emotional constraints of a human, which together enable him to survive the chaotic disorder of his adventure.
