Holding Out For a Hero



I find it fascinating that the West still has an obsession with heroes in the medieval sense. Books like Tolkein's Lord of the Rings and Lewis' Narnia series are still popular today and have been given the modern treatment with very successful movie franchises. It's not just literature either, television, video games, and even some music is dedicated to the medieval hero. I suppose the classic black and white of good and evil that was so commonplace in the era never looses its appeal.
