Here are the characteristics of the romantic hero.

Birth and class are unimportant: the individual transcends society

The battle is internal: it is a psychological war won by the “courage to be me”.

Moral codes are eccentric–heroes make their own rules

Passions are outside of individual control

Self knowledge is valued more than physical strength or endurance (physical courage is de-valued)

The hero is moody, isolated, and introspective

Loyalty is to a particular project and to a community of like-minded others

This romanticism is a lead in to today’s conception of the heroic which may best be characterize by the idea of the anti-hero. The world, which even in the recently passed romantic age was knowable and whose ills could be repaired by men of knowledge and courage, is no longer a familiar place. The world is hostile, unsafe, and if not deliberately cruel and unjust, is at least discovered to be without meaning, cold, uncaring, and joyless.

Hope this is what you need. I can’t compare it to Guy Montag for you, but maybe a few things will pop for you.

Good luck!
