Question

What is a characteristic of an epic hero?

Answer 1

Letter A. should be right

Answer 2

Answer: The answer is indeed A. The epic hero has exceptional characteristics but may be flawed in some way.

Explanation:

Epic heroes are easily identified in literature for having some specific characteristics. They are usually of noble birth and are famous for their skills as warriors or fighters. They are loyal to a cause but also fond of fighting for it in a fair manner - the end does not justify the means. This type of hero usually fights against supernatural beings and keeps their humility while doing so. They don't fight for the glory, but for justice.

However, epic heroes present some type of flaw that makes them more human, more approachable.
