Heroes and Villains investigates the concept of heroism and villainy from antiquity to the current day through a variety of different sources – films, epic poetry, graphic novels. The relativism of these concepts will be stressed throughout the course, but students will be encouraged to understand how differing contexts, time periods, cultures, and philosophical/religious beliefs influence these concepts. Class time will be spent pursuing in-class free writing, oral presentations, and spirited debate. There will be at least one required field trip.
