Every heroic characteristic finds its analogy among the virtues necessary to vanquish chaos and overcome the temptation offered by the forces of darkness.  This explains why, in many myths, the sun was identified with the hero par excellence…the subject of so many myths, legends and traditional tales.  He adds that in the life destined for the hero, the historical and the symbolic are one and the same thing.  The first object of the hero is to conquer himself…”[2] [Principle].]….hand on door frame [PTHM]….struggling…golf club between brow…very tense line…laugh…looks up…Cooper senses the oddity [WRQ: HQT]….his POV…we hear Leland….shaky view….head down…. “If you can remember anything unusual about Mr. Horne’s behavior [the night of Laura’s death, will you please let me know?”]…irony [DI]…his own….eyes up…then to laughter…sweaty face…..turns head sideways…brows up….ominous….Leland framed in door way…dancing again….taps ground with cane [PTHM]…to …fade….
