Just as Edward is projected a hero in his tall tales, I consider him a hero in his real life too because tall tales and real life have got blurred many times in the movie – Big Fish.Doing so much for someone or something when it could have been easily avoided is yet another trait of a hero.Therefore in addition to his tall tales, Edward is a hero in his real life too.The only negative aspect that scars the chances of Edward being considered a hero in his real life is the fact that he was not a hero in the eyes of his only son, Will.To be able to achieve something that one always wanted to achieve is not a mean thing and a person who is able to so is a hero of his own life if not that of others.

Witnessing a murder in real life is emotionally scarring.When we read Aristotle’s ideas on art, we are in direct contact with the ideas, and there is nothing more real to imagine.Rather, the point is that the ideas discussed in philosophical texts are as real as any ideas ever are.We do not call the police when we see Hamlet kill Polonius because we know that we are not seeing a real event but only two actors imitating real-world possibilities.Since both the character of the hero and the plot must have logical consistency, Aristotle concludes that the untying of the plot must follow as a necessary consequence of the plot and not from stage artifice, like a deus ex machina (a machine used in some plays, in which an actor playing one of th...

In Shakespeare’s play Much Ado About Nothing two characters stand out more than any others (except for Benedick and Beatrice), not for their dynamic personalities, but for their lack thereof; these two characters are of course Hero and Claudio.... middle of paper ... .... and yet again Claudio fails miserably.There are other mishaps, criss-crosses, and rearranging, but eventually it all evens out in the end, and Claudio, by that time, is rather fortunate in the fact that Hero is one dimensional, because if she was anything else she would not have married him.In reading this scene, we see the “merry war” of Beatrice and Benedick, and feel that these two characters are much more suitable for love, than are Hero and Claudio.
