a standard thing, and Jesus does several other things that do not happen to normal people. Jesus himself has a prophecy foretold of him, an unusual birth, an attempt made on his life, is exiled, goes on a quest, has his people turn on him, dies on hill, and has a mystery surrounding his death. Most of all, he is unique. These elements provide evidence of Jesus being a tragic hero. Jesus has several prophecies foretold about him, one of which would be that, “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and
Can you imagine being an outcast? What about discovering that you are the son of God? How would it feel to have people who you do not even know try to harm and possibly even kill you for protecting mankind? Could you stay strong through it all?

Being a kind-hearted person in a savage world is not an easy thing to do. The savage world will usually get through to the kind person and change them into a monster, but not Simon. Throughout William Golding’s novel, Lord of the Flies, Simon is the boy who remains good even when the rest of the world remains cruel. Simon is a quiet boy in the story who shows wisdom and civilization, on an uncivilized and savage island. Simon is first introduced when Ralph calls an assembly with the conch in the
