Yes, there's Frodo's journey, but there's also Aragorn's journey, Gandalf's journey. Or Harry Potter - where there's Harry's journey, but there are also the journeys of his friends.<br /><br />So, often in romance, as in other kinds of stories, there can be more than one journey. What that means is that the two journeys are often interwoven, just as they are in Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter.<br /><br />KateKate Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07808660234896798169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26977442.post-73839580700951052322006-11-07T18:12:00.000-08:002006-11-07T18:12:00.000-08:00Hello, I'm curious about the definition of the her...Hello, I'm curious about the definition of the hero (protagonist) as it applies to romance novels. <br /><br />My confusion is that in romance novels, there doesn't seem to be a main character. <br /><br />The man and the woman share the story equally and it's always the man chasing the woman around, trying to get her to accept him. <br /><br />So, a romance novel to me, even though it's written for women, the man seems to be the protagonist/hero of the story. <br /><br />Are there simply two heros in this kind of story? - AkemiAkemihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01410859862083639990noreply@blogger.com
