| | |  Hero - The Modern Fictional Hero: Encyclopedia II - Hero - Overview
A person normally becomes a hero by performing an extraordinary and praiseworthy deed. Traditional deeds are slaying of monsters and saving people from certain death. A hero normally fulfills the definitions of what is considered good and noble in the originating culture. However, in literature, particularly in tragedy, the hero may also have serious flaws which lead to a downfall, e.g. Hamlet. Such heroes are often referred to as tragic heroes and have a stron ...

| | | | Hero - The Modern Fictional Hero: Encyclopedia II - Hero - Later European History The classic hero often came with what Lord Raglan (a descendant of the FitzRoy Somerset, Lord Raglan) termed a "potted biography" made up of some two dozen common traditions that ignored the line between historical fact and mythology. For example, the circumstances of the hero's conception are unusual; an attempt is made by a powerful male at his birth to kill him; he is spirited away; reared by foster-parents in a far country. Routinely the hero meets with a mysterious death, often at the top of a hill; his body is not buried; he leaves no ...

| | | | Hero - The Modern Fictional Hero: Encyclopedia II - Hero - The validity of the hero in historical studies Philosopher Hegel gave a central role to the "hero", personalized by Napoleon, as the incarnation of a particular culture's Volkgeist, and thus of the general Zeitgeist. Thomas Carlyle's 1841 On Heroes And Hero Worship And The Heroic In History also accorded a key function to heroes and great men in history. Carlyle centered history on the biography of a few central individuals such as Oliver Cromwell or Frederick the Great. His heroes were political and military figures, the founders or topplers of states. His history o ...

Water Margin's heroes are ordinairy people who prospered while being a nuisance to the government. Water Margin, written in everyday language, is often thought of ...

| | | | Hero - The Modern Fictional Hero: Encyclopedia II - Water Margin - Historical context and development Water Margin is vaguely based upon the historical bandit Song Jiang and his thirty-six companions. The group was active in the Huai River region and eventually surrendered to government troops in 1119. Folk stories about Song Jiang circulated during the Southern Song.
