Byron made another sort of legend the Byronic Saint, in the motion picture First Blood, John Rambo is the ideal case of a Byronic Saint. In this film John Rambo is defiant, dull natured, easily affected, and energetic. He is willing to do whatever it takes for his reason.

Rambo is extremely excessively touchy and passionate through the entire film. Getting upset about his past and having extremely passionate glimmer backs of Vietnam. He has an energy for what he supposes is correct. Toward the end of the motion picture Rambo gets exceptionally enthusiastic discussing his companions at war and how they passed on what's more, how he drove million dollar machines in the military and in this present reality he couldn't even hold down a vocation at the auto wash. So as he discusses this he is crying and holding his colonel’s arm. You comprehend after that part in the motion picture that he is a Byronic Legend. In a way you feel frustrated about Rambo toward the end of the film on account of the way he is, yet it is not his flaw. You heard the colonel say to the sheriff in the motion picture that he made him that way. So it's not Rambo's deficiency that he is this dim, risky, secluded, insubordinate

    Perry Smith, a man forever shrouded in infamy, shot four innocent people, two of which were minors, with no apparent motive. Yet, throughout the novel In Cold Blood, Truman Capote masterfully weaves a complex web of factual evidence and first-hand accounts to repaint a cold-blooded killer as a human being in which to sympathize with. The most obvious way Perry draws sympathy is his traumatic and turbulent childhood. Smith spent the first few years of life moving constantly with his family, often living off “mush and Hersey kisses and condensed milk.” (131).…

War heroes often possess traits such as selflessness, sacrifice, and courage, that help them do everything in their will to make the world a better place and to protect what they believe is right. In examples such as the Revolutionary War, the war heroes were fighting for freedom against oppression from an overbearing government; in the civil war, they fought for or against slavery and states rights; in the Cold War, they fought against the spread of Communism. Every war is different, but the few things that the wars have in common are the soldiers and the traits that they possess.…
