A Hero is usually a good guy and in the face of danger and adversity displays courage. Also from a position of weakness displays bravery and self-sacrifice. A hero does things for some greater good of all humanity. Rama shows these characteristics to his people. For example when he was to be banished instead of being king he went without question. A journey such as this shows much courage to an individual and sacrifice. The best characteristic he showed was bravery when he went to save Sita. He fought a 10 headed man In order to rescue her. Now Rama and Gilgamesh have nothing in common. Rama was a good man to his people who was treated with respect and treated others the same. Gilgamesh however may have ended that way, but started off totally different. This guy was king and would rape women of his own village and just did what he wanted just because he wanted. To me Gilgamesh was no hero. He didn’t do anything heroic besides Kill the Giant and the bull which I think were for self-pleasure any way. Enkidu was more a hero than Gilgamesh. A hero you can compare Rama to would be Superman. Rama does justice for his people and so does Superman. Superman shows loyalty to his true people of krypton, but he also shows loyalty to the people of earth. He proved himself with his courage bravery and strength to be a true champion and one of the best heroes of all time. Rama’s traits show the best comparison to Superman. There are many others you can choose to compare, but with the strength of loyalty that they both have this shows the respect they have from there people. Respect is a strong thing to earn from others and in order to be a good hero you must earn respect than take it.
