Paper Summary:

This paper examines Tim O'Brien's changing perception of the hero in his story "On the Rainy River." The paper highlights the theme of courage in O'Brien's works and examines his view on the internal as well as external evidence of courage.

From the Paper:

"As a veteran of the Vietnam War, Tim O'Brien deals extensively in his works with courage, a concept central to heroism, that he portrays using investment imagery that presents it as a treasure one needs to save in the same manner that one saves money. Courage comes to us in finite quantities like an inheritance and by being frugal and stashing it away and letting it earn interest, we steadily increase our moral capital in preparation for that..."
