    Beowulf is one of the oldest heroic poems that still exists. Furthermore, it is obvious that this poem has inspired authors and screenwriters alike in the creation process of fictional heroes for shows, movies, games, and books. Nonetheless, it is evident that Beowulf has all the classic traits of a modern-day hero. He is brave, even willing to die for a great good, he is abnormally stronger than the average human, and is loyal to his king and guests. In addition, though there are many heroes that embody some of Beowulf’s characters, there is no other fictional character that actually embodies them all.…

    This allows the reader to navigate the perspectives of the two main characters, Callie and Marie, both of whom’s life seem to be alike, and different at the same time. Throughout the short story, the reader gets limited, but alternating perspectives that ultimately helps draw the conclusion of Marie and Callies “perfect” ideals, and how they're intertwined. The style of the story is told in a vignette, that highlights the life of both women through broken up sections equally distributed one after another. The narrator only knows the thoughts and feelings of the characters and can only see what the character reveals. The narrator in “Puppy” is only able to identify and draw conclusions from the minds and actions of Callie and Marie, which allows the reader to create their own interpretation of what’s going on, rather than if Callie or Marie had been telling the story in their own voice.…

    In the epic poem, the Iliad written by Homer, several characters taking part in the warfare between the Achaeans and the Trojans are portrayed as embodying the heroic code of courage, physical strength, leadership, arete of value of honour, and the acceptance of fate. The heroic code is illustrated by the actions of the Trojan prince, Hector and the Achaeans strongest warrior, Achilles. Both of these characters display the Greek’s image of a hero, and can also let the reader discern what the society admires, looks up to and aspires to in its heroes. There are also characters who fail to be heroic, such as the Trojan “vivid and beautiful” prince, Paris. These characters in the Iliad illustrate the qualities that Ancient Greek society values.…
