He appears in the very first part of the novel and the last part not to mention his constant appearance in between the novel. For a character that forms that major part of the novel, he should be more ...

The subject of discussion of Mark Gerzon’ book A Choice of Heroes, in Midlife Quest, is the question of masculinity and its influence on contemporary man. Gerzon says that men, in their effort to emulate their heroes before their women, do so, unconsciously (p.414). This behaviour, he says, is largely a part of their childhood conditioning. All those who do imitate or try and act like their heroes don’t do so because they know them personally, but do so because of the influence the celluloid world has over them. Many people fall victim to the influence of the celluloid ...
