writing prompt #880

Most heroes in the stories we read and watch stand up to evil in a courageous way. Some of them are initially reluctant to step up and afraid to confront evil. Others seem a little too eager to engage in violence as a solution. Where on this spectrum do you think the perfect hero should be? Where do you think you are on this scale? Where is the average person? Where are most heroes in movies these days? What’s the right amount of courage?

Narrative option: tell a story about a hero that is either too passive or too eager in the face of evil.
