A hero is treated as the character who is admired for his immense courage, bravery, humility, persistence and one who is dedicated to a cause. However, in the history of English literature, we have witnessed the tragic heroes like King Oedipus and Macbeth with hamartia. Yet whenever we think of a hero they think of a perfect character with the virtues of bravery and nobility, expect him to be the one who is firm in his belief, whose brave actions are an example to others, who is inclined and determined to reform the society and one whom the people see as their ideal. Thus, these are the qualities we expect a hero to possess.
