Hero Analysis

William Wallace falls under the following archetypes: Hero as warrior and Hero as lover.

He is the leader in the fight for Scotland's freedom. He also fights to avenge the death of his beloved wife. He stops at nothing and refuses to give in to the English. He even endures torture and the loss of his life for the cause. His hero cycle is prevalent through his two apparent quests: The quest for vengeance and the warrior's journey to save his people.
