Description
While planning your essay, keep in mind issues like the lineage, birth, upbringing, types of adventures, character traits, companions, etc. of the hero. Your essay should also include an analysis of the various contextual layers of the source you are using in relation to the hero. In other words, make sure that you make the connection between the hero, the time the hero supposedly lived, the time the narrative was formed, etc. Explain why the hero of your choice appeals to you most and why. Try to focus your essay on specific concepts and arguements rather than telling detailed stories. Demonstrating your point/s with quotations may help you strengthen your arguments. You are welcome to use images if you wish, provided that you give the relevant information about the images. Please use proper citation. You may use all sources and websites mentioned in the syllabus and on Sucourse, as well as museum websites and academic databases offered by the IC. Do not consult other websites or unauthorized online sources such as Wikipedia. Please make sure that your essay has a title, a proper beginning and a proper conclusion. The aim of this assignment is to analyze the formation and representation of the character and identity of a hero.
