A hero, above all must have qualities in which he is admired for his brave deeds in which he performs to realize a goal. These brave deeds are ones in which give someone the ability to endure pain and danger. Jerome and Eugene, in Andrew Niccols’ Gattaca, both possess qualities in which make them a hero because they are prepared to endure pain and jeopardy to achieve their dream. Both ultimately give up their own life to achieve a dream. This for Jerome was his life ambition while for Eugene this dream wasn’t one he had had all his life it become one after certain circumstances. Eugene is a hero because he gave away his DNA and his own body materials, such as hair, blood and urine, to help Jerome achieve his life objective. Jerome throughout Gattaca did many things, like leaving his family and friends, which seem selfish and unjustified but are all part of the torture endured to become and hero while achieving a dream. Jerome is fundamentally the hero in Gattaca because he was prepared to face danger pain and heart ache to achieve his ultimate dream. In Gattaca Eugene and Jerome both ultimately sacrifice their bodies to achieve something they couldn’t with other each other therefore making something of their lives which were both worthless in their current social hierarchy of their time. Changing into Jerome was a dangerous fete because it was illegal and we know it wasn’t accepted because Jerome and the broker met and organized the deal in dark lighting, but the broker was more in the dark as his job is illegal and dangerous. To become accepted in this world Eugene gave his DNA, blood, urine, and his name to Jerome which in tern threw away his own self to achieve what he had to do to survive in such a cruel world.
