The character of the man who is shot on the street.
Explanation:
The name of poem "The Legend" has many different interpretations. However, the most significant one is the fact that the author wants us to identify this man as a "legend." This is not because of what happens to him, but because of what he makes us realize about ourselves. The story of the man resembles a legend because he was ignored and under appreciated in his own society. People were unsympathetic to him, even when he lay dying. However, he will achieve his redemption in heaven, and the story will become one of hope for society, much like other legends.
