Beowulf, Hektor, and Achilleus represent cultures that flourished thousands of years ago. Do today's heroes look anything like the heroes in these ancient tales? The characteristics of the epic heroes that you studied in this unit include the following:

The hero has special qualities and is called into an adventure.
The hero faces a significant battle, challenge, or obstacle.
The hero is the recipient of supernatural aid (or the victim of supernatural hindrance).

What traits do all heroes share? Who would be a hero today, based on the characteristics of an epic hero? Do you notice any specific differences between heroes of the past and present?

4. at the conclusion of frankenstein, robert walton has an encounter with the monster, who arrives after victor frankenstein has died. perhaps surprisingly, the monster mourns his creator and expresses remorse over the fate that victor suffered. the monster pledges to destroy himself and then departs, disappearing as he goes further north. how does the monster’s behavior and attitude in this part of the novel affect the way readers view him? is he sympathetic? is he more hateful because it is only after victor has died that he relents? how does the change in the monster fit with the theme of duality in the novel?
