At the beginning of the story when the Huron tribe first attacked, Hawkeye was brave enough to jump in and fight for Cora and Alice. This action was brave because his family and him were greatly outnumbered. When they got to the fort he assisted some colonial men escape so they could protect their families. Hawkeye knew full and well that it was legally wrong, what the punishment was and that didn’t stop him from helping those men. After Mugua and the Hurons attacked for the second time they captured Cora, Alice and Duncan and brought them back to their tribe.

Yet all that time he had still been a loyal follower and leader in the making. He stays grateful and does whatever Beowulf last dying breaths wish for. “/Then he brought their treasure to Beowulf, and found/ His famous king bloody, gasping / For breath.” Lines (810-812). This shows that Wiglaf had one wish and that is to bask in the victory he’d won with his lord. In doing so he proved himself worthy.

It sparked questions and reflections in Missy’s mind. She wanted to know why God asked his own children to die. Mack said that they weren’t forced to die, but did so for their love of their people.

In Alice Sebold’s The Lovely Bones, Susie Solomon stands as the protagonist of the novel whose life is cut short by her foil character, Mr. Harvey. In Susie’s narration of her family’s coping with her unexpected murder, she emits pure love and tenderness in a naively large supply for everyone until, and in most cases after, her final interaction with Mr. Harvey. Even in her death and her placement in purgatory, “[Susie] worried that [her] sister, left alone, would do something rash”(29) and “[she] wanted to kiss [Franny] lightly on the cheek or have [Franny] hold [her]”(41). This natural desire to protect her sister and to give/receive comfort from her friend similarly condemned to purgatory shows how her death did not change her character,

Odysseus is a perfect hero and has all of the characteristics it takes to be one. He cares about his men deeply and wants the best for his men.

Even if that means killing her own baby she would do it. She then states “Pronounce it for me ,sir, to all our friends, For my heart speaks they are welcome”(III.IV.7-8). Lady Macbeth is deceptive so she can be perceived as a sweet wife, when in reality she holds darks desires. She will do what it takes to get what she desires it would not matter to her if a loved one gets hurt if she dreams of something she does what it takes to get

While Beowulf has lived a long, successful life and although he has plenty of men to send off to the fight the dragon, he decides to fight the dragon himself and risk the safety of his people for the chance at one more shot at old times. Despite the narrator’s positive portrayal of him in the earlier parts of the poem, in this scene, readers must weigh Beowulf’s ego against his kingly duty as a protector. His men do not support the unnecessary risk Beowulf takes, and the venture ends in his death. While it is clear that Beowulf’s men betrayed their pledged loyalty to Beowulf by fleeing, Beowulf arguably enacts a similar betrayal in his pursuit of another accomplishment at the expense of the Geats he was supposed to

Lennie’s pure strength and actions led his best friend George to kill him, so that he doesn’t get in any more trouble. George killing Lennie was a justified murder because Lennie was too dangerous, Lennie would have been killed anyways, and he only would slow George down and drag him into trouble.
