What is a hero?

What defines a hero and what does it require to be a hero? To be hero one must be strong, brave, noble and caring. Also a hero must only think of others not oneself. In the Princess bride one may argue that there was only one hero but, in this case there was two heroes. Inigo Montoya and Fezzik were the heroes in The Princess Bride. The reason Inigo was the hero is because without him Buttercup and Westley would have died and Rugen would have went on killing people left and right. Inigo also thought about his father every day and he wanted to get revenge for him. So he practiced and became a great sword fighter so that he could defeat Rugen and feel good knowing that his father’s killer wouldn’t kill anyone else. Inigo did have some help from Fezzik towards the end. Without Fezzik Inigo would have been taken prisoner and wouldn’t have been able to save Buttercup and Westley. Most importantly without Fezzik Inigo wouldn’t have been able to kill the

Rugen.
In the story Prince Humperdinck wants the thief’s forest emptied before the wedding and he wants everyone arrested. So then a brute squad is formed and Fezzik is part of it. When they go to arrest Inigo he and Fezzik are reunited and Fezzik nurses Inigo back to health. He tells Inigo of Vizzini’s death and tells him of Rugen the six fingered man that he has been searching for. Once Inigo is well they head out to kill Rugen. Fezzik is a hero because he cared for Inigo when he was sick he didn’t give up on him or leave him behind to get captured. Then Inigo finds Westley and he and Fezzik take him to be brought back to life so that he can save buttercup. When they get to the castle Inigo and Rugen have a sword fight and in the end Inigo kills Rugen. Fezzik finds a horse for everyone and they all ride away happily ever after.
Inigo is the main hero in this story because without him Buttercup would have been killed Westley would have stayed dead and his father’s killer would have gotten away with murder. Fezzik played a big role in the story to. Without him preventing Inigo from being taken prisoner the story wouldn’t have ended the way it did and most importantly Inigo wouldn’t have been the hero.
