    A hero is traditionally someone who is characterized with idealistic qualities, such as courage and nobility. In The Life of St. Leoba, translated by Talbot, Rufolf used imagery to display the theme of heroism by portraying the main character Leoba as a hero through her overall description, her ability to make the guilty confess, and her capability to control the weather to save the innocent.
