Romantic heroes understand their inner world and the value of their experience through emotion and intuition rather than logical reasoning and formal learning. They are young, innocent, and pure or possessed these qualities. They love nature and seek for higher truth in it. They society’s guideline and follow their own morality and higher principles. Today’s heroes are considered to be strong and handsome. Fictionally, some are described as super heroes who have super powers, wear costumes, defeat evils and save girls. The similarity between them is that they both follow their instincts rather than laws. For example, when heroes are trying to save people, they also destroy buildings and public infrastructures. The different side is that Romantic heroes seem to have more emotions and are more intellectual because they seek for truth. Heroes today usually live in big cities, where bad guys usually appear. Romantic heroes love nature and avoid lives in cities.
I like the definition of Romantic heroes. Unlike today’s heroes, they are not being praised and intensely admired. They seek for truth, which is good for a person to do. However, I don't think there’s a definite meaning for hero. I would actually define it as someone who makes a positive impact in someone’s life. It is someone who you admired because he or she has done something and saved you from the edge of abyss. A hero doesn't have to be famous, extremely smart or powerful. It should be someone whom you will always remember because of his or her contribution in your life.
