In many respects, Priam is a man torn between various imperatives. Even though he is the symbol of Troy and aware of the importance of adhering to ceremonial display, he actually feels very vulnerable as an aging mortal. Furthermore, while he loves his family and is desperate to fulfill his parental duties to Hector, he feels remote from them. In addition, even though part of him believes strongly in the gods, he also believes in chance and carving his own destiny. On the other hand, the one aspect where Priam is not divided is his wholehearted commitment to Troy and its defence.
People who dwell on their deficits may envy and resent others who have more than they do.

Amelia Vanden Berghe Honors English December 16, 2009 Odysseus is considered an epic hero in the poem The Odyssey because he exerts the same characteristics as an epic hero. He has to overcome seemingly impossible challenges, he displays great resourcefulness, but most importantly despite the dangerous obstacles he faces he never loses courage and he uses his bravery and knowledge to get him home, where he needs to be. In the beginning of the story he can’t seem to decide whether or not going home is the right choice. Many of the obstacles he faced seemed like the outcome wouldn’t come out in his favor but because he had faith and intelligence the outcomes weren’t as bad as expected. Odysseus suffers from three different
Jack is presented as the character that knows what he wants and tries to achieve it yet he struggles to accomplish everything but eventually falls to love, and even though he took decisions that seem to be the best to choose, he ends in a tragic way. Ennis in the contrary, is a man who is not a straight thinker and struggles to take the decisions that could benefit his own. Ennis is a man whose childhood was not the happiest; he was brought up to believe in the Role of masculinity, which he eventually struggles to implement on his own life as a straight man. Masculinity by definition; is a systematic set of doctrines or beliefs. In the book the roll of masculinity takes an important place because even though it is important for both, men and women to carry their ‘duties’, they act otherwise as it is in the case of Ennis.
2.1.1) The Hemingway Code Hero: Hemingway's heroes have nearly always been defeated, or have died, and have lost what they loved, even though the stories seemed at first to celebrate purely physical courage and prowess. The important thing was the code fought by, and keeping the right feeling toward what was fought for, and when something had been won, not to let the sharks have it.

In the end the Code Hero will lose because we are all mortal, but the true measure is how a person faces death. The Code Hero believes in nothing.
Odysseus may look like a hero although he is not very herolike. In “The Odyssey” Odysseus is perceived to be a hero.He was quite the opposite of what a hero is.
