Compare and contrast two of the heroes we have been discussing this semester
Compare and contrast two of the heroes we have been discussing this semester. Your paper should answer the following questions: what are the cultural values that the virtues of each hero represents? In what ways does each hero uphold these values? In what ways might the hero be viewed as failing to uphold these values, if you think that hero does ever fail? Which of the two heroes is more “heroic” in terms of living up to the heroic virtues expected of him within the context of the work? (Note that this is not asking whether or not you like the hero so much as whether or not the hero lives up to the values of his society successfully.) One possible approach to this topic might be to use Gilgamesh, who, perhaps shows little control with one of our other heroes, such as Achilles. Your conclusion might discuss which of the two heroes, if any, grows the most as a character and why you think so.
