Heroes choose to abide by their role and stick with it. They do not try to reconcile themselves with the rest of the world. Times of heroism are generally times of terror, but that day never shines in which this element may not work. The circumstances of man, we say, are historically somewhat better in this country, and at this hour, than perhaps ever before. One of the best examples that I can think of is when Beowulf fought Grendel and won.

Though the journey is tough, it is not tougher than Odysseus. Odysseus has the defining character traits of a Homeric leader: strength, courage, loyalty, nobility, a thirst for glory, and confidence in his authority. His most distinguishing trait, however, is his sharp intellect. Odysseus’s quick thinking helps him out of the tough situations that are put before him. Unfortunately, because of the length of time that Odysseus is away from home, the situations that he must face causes his loyalty to weaken, as well as the strength of his various motivations.
Options, they’re something Molly has never had in her life. She's always been told what to do, and usually how to do it, resulting in little freedom for her.

Beowulf possesses many of the traits of an archetypal epic hero; he is strong, humble, and willing to fight to death if necessary. One of the most obvious heroic traits of Beowulf’s is his strength, which is a vital feature in Anglo-Saxon heroes.

Although strength is a key characteristic in defining an epic hero, it alone is not enough to define an epic hero (Greenfield 3). Along with strength, one must have other distinguishing traits to be considered an epic hero.
