Reading and Writing
Heroes
Section I
Is it fair to say that to be a hero in real life is an altogether different prospect from the heroism we read about in books or view in films?
After all, behaving bravely when there is no guarantee of a positive outcome, when you can actually hear your heart thumping in your
chest and feel your stomach clenching, takes real character. Most acts of heroism go unseen by a public used to the spectacular, and
many everyday heroes die unsung.
Section II
Yet there is a large body of opinion that says that a real hero must be epic just like a storybook one. Alexander the Great was obsessed
with being remembered as a hero; he slept with the Iliad under his pillow and dreamed of becoming more renowned than Achilles or
Agamemnon. This is a common mentality, one that confuses fame with bravery and claims that the heroic act must be a grand one that
can be painted large on the canvas of history.
Section III
This way of thinking also seems to call into doubt the fact that the heroes in literature are fictional. This may seem strange considering
the fact that the character of the hero is inherently the same throughout literature. Heroes with flaws, that will at some point lead them
astray despite their great strength, must undergo a test of fire in order to reach a deeper understanding of themselves and the world.
The same applies to everyone from Gilgamesh to Luke Skywalker.
Section IV
Even when the character is based on a real person, by the time they reach us through the medium of story, they are changed beyond
recognition. There doubtless was a man once by the name of Odysseus, who got lost on the way back from a war and did not return
home for a long time. The war, however, did not involve the numbers we read about in the Iliad. He may not have been gone quite as long
as was claimed in Homer’s version of the Odyssey, and the strange people he and his sailors met probably took a long time to achieve
the status of monsters.
Section V
Alexander the Great felt constrained by his father’s greatness, and worried that there would be nothing left to conquer when his turn
came. When it did, he created in a few short years one of the greatest empires ever seen, was proclaimed as divine by the Egyptians, and
died at the age of thirty-two still consumed by the same thirst for recognition. It remained unquenched, unsatisfied, despite the fact that
he had accomplished almost every one of the goals he had aspired to and pursued, and despite his becoming a household name
throughout the known world.
Section VI
What is ultimately the problem with all this is the fact that we are not inclined to judge simple ordinary acts of heroism as anything
worthy of note. Before every act, the thought flashes through our mind: is anybody watching? We no longer think someone who bravely
does the right thing under difficult circumstances is a hero; it must be caught on camera, reported on the news, become a thread on
Twitter, in some way contribute to the growth of immortality. Who would be a hero under such pressure? Even Batman or Superman
would think twice about donning their disguise if they really were around today.
