So far, all of the heroes we have read about have been extremely interesting, for they all have the same motives to be heroes. They all are heroes because they are stronger and more powerful than the other men were, however, they had just as many flaws as any other man. No matter how strong, the hero has to have a flaw, and many of them have lots of flaws. They are selfish, narcissistic, and too confident. All of those traits can bring a hero to victory, as well as, bring their downfall. Sigurth is one of the many heroes that start off bad in my mind, for we were first introduced to him while he was trying to disguise himself in order to marry, Brynhild. This is where his downfall came about. All of these myths about heroes seem to involve innocent women that pay for the problems of the men’s lies or jealousy. He is a very complicated man, for he is a hero, yet he still deceives people. Not only that, but while he deceives people, his biggest flaw is that he trusts people too easily. It is clear that oaths were very important to all the men at the time, for they had all made a brotherhood oath that protected Sigurth from dying at the hand of one of his brothers-in-law. However, what he did not expect was for the youngest brother-in-law to stab him in the back.
