A Critical Study of the hero characters in Western children s literature

Heroes and Heroines are critical figures in our entire lives, and particularly so in the lives of children. Kids and children grown-up fiction writing from the beginning of time is loaded up with brave individuals and creatures that have enlivened us in our lives in manners incredible and little. Gallant characters may wear a cape and have superpowers, some may spare a real existence, a city, or even a whole progress, yet more frequently they are customary individuals who do uncommon demonstrations of goodness. They move us to invest more energy, assist, make progress toward significance, drive forward, go to bat for what is correct or face a troublesome circumstance with valor. However, it should be noted that, unfortunately, the hero s character in western literature is always stereotyped. He is an ideal Western man whose enemies are human colored races, mostly African-Asian. Obviously, this kind of stereotypical attitude will provoke negative emotional sentiment, and it will have a very negative role in educating the younger generation. And, of course, it must be criticized and change attitudes.
