Your work is very interesting, @honeydue. The figure/theme of the hero is of great importance, and I have tried to follow it in its central manifestations. We know that his roots sink into the myth of ancient cultures, and then he went on to legend, folktales (wonderful or fairy tales), up to literature modern and cinema, of course.
The figure of the hero was idealized for a long time, making it almost infallible, blameless and pure. Contributions such as Cervantes' with Don Quixote, introduce the possibility of a being with faults (the so-called "antihero"). Thus this one-dimensional conception of the hero breaks down. I believe that with Byron, whose "heroes" resemble him, we arrive at a complex hero, more human, less flat, because is imperfect.
I remember of the cinema of my time, for example, the hero of Blade Runner, where that new type of hero is fulfilled.
Thanks for your nice, illustrative and updated post, @honeydue.
