The Virtuous Harry Potter The Harry Potter books are filled with characters that are full of many virtues. First, Harry Potter himself is amazing and rather virtuous. In every book, he shows some type of fortitude. Second, Hermione Granger. In my eyes, this young lady is the most prudent person in the book. Lastly, Dumbledore. He has so much faith in Harry Potter even when others doubt him. Overall the Harry Potter characters are wise, courageous, and faithful. The first character that displays a virtue is Harry Potter and he displays fortitude. In every book, in some way, he shows courage, boldness, bravery, and nerve. He is a strong character that leads the readers of every book to keep on reading. In multiple scenarios, he defeats/stops Voldemort or any of his sidekicks. Harry Potter never fails to stand up for what is right even when it may cause death for him.

Another character that represents a splendid virtue is Hermione. Hermione is always on time, never late, always does well in class and comes prepared. Even when it is hard to focus she is studying hard for a test or even just to study the notes they went over that day. She always does well on the exam and never fails to impress the teachers as she always …show more content…

He is by far a great wizard and teacher. This man shows great faith in Harry even when others fail to do so. Dumbledore trusts him with the cloak, lets him stay at the Mirror of Eridu and although he always there to help when things go wrong he lets Harry stop Voldemort on his own. In the first book he could have been mad at Harry for trying to stop He-who-must-not-be-named but instead he was not. He was caring and kind. He agreed that Harry deserved a chance to see he-who-has-no-nose and try to slay him. Dumbledore always had faith in not just Harry but in everybody else. Albus always believed in

    What makes a person virtuous? Virtue, by definition, is the moral excellence of a person. A morally excellent person has a character made-up of virtues valued as good. He or she is honest, respectful, courageous, forgiving, and kind, for example. C. S. Lewis had a particular talent of incorporating good or bad virtues into the characters of his stories. One of Lewis’s renowned stories is Out of the Silent Planet which follows the adventures of a man named Ransom. Ransom was abducted via spaceship by two men, Devine and Weston, and carried all the way to the far planet of Malacandra, in our world known as Mars. It is here that Ransom escapes, meets many different creatures, learns the language, falls in love with the land, but eventually has

    However, she is still able to prove herself worthy of the title. As we follow along with her character in the movie, she is not only intelligent, but often times she takes on the role of a leader, as she guides Ron and Harry in the right direction. Also, she has an admirable character development. This can be seen throughout the series as she evolves into a brave, selfless and strong-willed woman. As previously mentioned, most of Hermione's characteristic traits go against the common beliefs that are tied to women as she proves to everyone that she is intelligent, loyal, courageous and is just as good as boys.

  • Cocky versus Swagger in Beowulf and Sir Gowain

    1682 Words  | 4 Pages

    In entertainment, no matter if it is movies, music, or plays. One can almost always look in the story line and find a hero. The hero is perceived to be the character that everyone looks to step forward in a time of need. The hero can be like a savior and is expected to be like a savior by the other characters in the story in any and every situation. There is also a case in stories where the hero has to be found and is more of the unsung type of character within a story in which that character has to learn how to adjust to the advantages and disadvantages of their heroism and how it may affect the other characters in the story. Beowulf and Sir Gowain posses these types of characteristics and by actually reading the pieces of literature that they are featured in. These characteristics are evident and are exposed within their respective stories. The characters may come off as being cocky or extremely arrogant, but one may have a different opinion on this situation for the simple fact that there is a difference between being cocky and arrogant or just having confidence in oneself along with a swagger about oneself.

  • Chivalrous Code

    I chose to use ‘The Code of Chivalry’ for my comparisons on literary characters great successes and failures. For my first example, I chose the brave and fearless Beowulf. According to the 19th code of chivalry, one must ‘Destroy evil in all of its monstrous forms,’ and also ‘Exhibit courage in word and deed.’ Beowulf proclaimed to fight the evil Grendel, saying “We shall fight for our lives, foe against foe; and he whom death takes off must resign himself to the judgment of God (1200).” After the battle, the terror-filled Grendel crept away, mortally wounded. Beowulf had upheld this particular code with valor and bravery.

  • Castruccio Castracani

    1595 Words  | 4 Pages

    Virtue is an individual’s ability to seize opportunity within their surrounding environment. Machiavelli portrayed Castruccio Castracani as using various qualities throughout his life that enabled him to define his own virtue. From a young age Castracani demonstrated a physical prowess that was unmatched by his peers and expressed interest in literature pertaining to heroes and war. Under the tutelage of Messer Francisco Guinigi, he became an elite horseman. In their first battle together, they came home victorious with Castracani being praised as a hero of war. He was loved by Lucca for being respectful, modest, and courteous, while his notoriety as a warrior caused others to fear him as a tyrant. Qualities that constitute the virtue of Castruccio Castracani and led to his success are his intelligence, his ability to be cunning when necessary, and his ability to manipulate his reputation to make others fear and respect him.

  • Analysis Of The Book 'This Is Not My Hat'

    ... book her characters are very three dimensional. She takes the time in the book to fully develop her characters which allows the reader to connect with them and stay interested in reading the book. In developing Harry Potter she makes sure that he is seen as a normal boy who is going through hard times, like every child does, and then throughout the book his character unfolds and becomes the hero in the book. This shows the children that read it that they can get through whatever is thrown at them and to never give up. Throughout the book we continue to see real world v. fantasy. This stuck out to me the most because it shows the children that read it how to have their own imagination to help them get through the hard times in their lives. Harry starts out as a young boy living in a closet but because of his fantasy world ends up being a very strong well known boy.

  • True Heroes in Literature

    Throughout history, there have always been heroes. Those strong-willed, brave individuals who perform courageous acts for fame and glory are prevalent in most cultures.. Societies have these heroes as standards of their cultures’ moral codes. Every society has their own definition of these codes are, so a unifying definition of hero can be hard to achieve. However, Philip Zimbardo says “Simply put, then, the key to heroism is a concern for other people in need—a concern to defend a moral cause, knowing there is a personal risk, done without expectation of reward.” With this basic definition, I will be examining various epic heroes I’ve studied throughout the course of my senior year for characteristics. From the copious amounts of studying, I’ve deduced that Achilles, Odysseus, Aeneas, Socrates, Gilgamesh, Beowulf, and Arthur all have characteristics that make them heroic.
