Quote by Nathaniel Hawthorne

A hero cannot be a hero unless in a heroic world.

A hero cannot be a hero unless in a heroic world.

Summary

This quote suggests that the concept of a hero is dependent on the context of the world they exist in. It implies that a hero's acts of bravery and heroism are only recognized and celebrated in a world that appreciates and acknowledges such qualities. In other words, heroes emerge and are defined by the challenges and crises they face in their society. Without a need for extraordinary courage or extraordinary circumstances, one cannot truly embody the essence of a hero.
