A definition is rarely absolute, and the fickle definition of hero is no exception. Some imagine a hero as someone who excels in battle and others admire champions of peace. Regardless of this personal understanding, however, all the common and superficial thoughts surrounding the title of hero are quickly revealed when we examine the life of any mortal. While it would be impossible for anyone to perfectly fulfill the role of a hero except the Savior, most of us have created in our minds certain standards that we strive for and strive for. Ernest Hemmingway in his short work “The Sun Also Rises” presents us with a world that welcomes a “Lost Generation” in which the central figure's interactions with various men give us fragmented images of what it means to be a hero. This method of presenting a hero is logistically effective, because as previously stated it is impossible to fully embody everything a hero is. While it is true that this work has limited themes, critics agree that it also gives us a clear picture of what most consider a hero: “A man of action, of self-discipline and self-reliance, and of strength and courage to face all weaknesses, fears, failures and even death.”. Hemmingway's “man's man,” a traditional and respected conception of the hero, departs from the totality of what the Underground Man alleges. Numerous critics have even gone so far as to define the underground man as an “antihero”. The greater the degree of self-sufficiency demonstrated by an individual, the greater that person's ability to become a hero or maintain a heroic constitution. This is not to say that every person who has potential will become a hero or even engage in any activity that could be considered heroic. However,...... half of the paper... can be traced back to this Enlightenment idea of ​​rational thought and is of the utmost importance. The political nature of Dostoevsky's attack on Enlightenment ideals also plays a role in understanding the negative and inactive figure, the underground man. Flaws of confusion, uncertainty and tragic illusion prevent the underground man from achieving something noble or even just remarkable which seems to be Dostoevsky's consideration of the new Enlightenment ideals. The underground man is a man of inaction, of self-disorder and dependence, and of weakness. and shyness to escape all strength, conviction, success and even life. The narrator of his tale also loses patience and stops trying to convey the underground man's ramblings. Avoiding the qualities of the underground man can lead us to heroism, because he is truly a traditional “Antihero”.”.
