An anti-hero is a main character in a story who lacks conventional heroic qualities and attributes, such as idealism, courage, and morality. A hero is a main character who, in the face of danger, combats adversity through feats of ingenuity, courage, or strength. Your job is to determine that either Hector is a hero, OR that Achilles is an anti-hero. You may contrast one with the other, but you are choosing ONE FOCUS for your essay. Your argument should be made with regards to a) DUTY, b) HONOR, and c) one other THEME of your choice. You must include quotes from The Iliad to prove your points and a works cited page so the quotes are legal. Points will be deducted for not having quotes, with citations, from the text.
