Characteristics of a Romantic Hero • Self-knowledge is valued more than physical strength or endurance; physical courage is de-valued. • The battle is internal--it is a psychological war won by the "courage to be me." • Moral codes are eccentric--heroes make their own rules. • Passions are outside individual control. • Loyalty is to a particular project and to a community of like-minded others. • Birth and classare unimportant--the individual tries to rise above his or her society. • The hero is moody, isolated, and introspective.
