Here is my comment from YouTube. Many years ago I became captive of the journey of the tragic hero. The hero I would become was the story. Life experience as one responds and bares up to the challenges is the story. The interests in characters we enjoy exploring as writers and readers struggling to analyze a hero or gauge characters by means of metrics is the inverse of reality. There are no DIP switches. The hero is not static in real life. The Music of Chance is another story by Paul Auster (author on Layne's 2026 reading list}, I thoroughly enjoyed reading after seeing the film adaptation of the same name. A rich environment for hero analysis. It is so easy to bring disaster as a hero.
