The reluctant hero, the hero who discovered his hubris, the tragic hero, the hero of a thousand faces all told to instruct the reader, to tell the listener how heroes act when they struggle in the face of adversity. Our historical figures tend to mimic the reluctant hero, the ambitious hero and the tragic hero in their actions.
