How would you describe a hero? Is it one who fights the inevitable and hard times in order to do good for the well-being of another person or is it a person whose contributions to society are able to help someone further down the line? A hero can be many different things in many different aspects of life. In old English poetry, the hero is usually more of a fictional character with strengths unknown to man. We see this in both "Beowulf" and "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight". Beowulf is an ideal hero of the eighteenth century. In this time and culture, a hero would be defined as a person who is...

The word "criminal" has a tendency to echo in the mind unpleasantly. It carries in it's definition cruelty, ignorance, violence, and hatred. Criminals are labeled, however, in countless numbers by all cultures throughout history. Playwright Henrik Ibsen, once accused of being somewhat "criminal" himself, forced us to look at the mindset of the criminal themselves.
