According to the NEW WEBSTER’S DICTIONARY AND THESAURUS of the English Language, a hero is a man of exceptional quality who wins admiration by noble deeds, esp. deeds of courage. The male character of a play, novel, etc. about whom the action turns and in whose fate the readers or audience are sympathetically involved. A man of superhuman powers, regarded as a demigod after his death. I believe that out of those three the best definition would be the first one. It is the closest definition we have to define the word hero. In my own personal opinion, I think a hero is someone who is self-less, courageous, compassionate, and forgiving. I can say I know heroes but not the kind you might be thinking, the ones I know did not save the world or destroy evil creatures.
