The Reluctant Hero

Write about someone who doesn’t see themselves as a hero being thrust into a quest that only they can accomplish.

This prompt encourages writers to delve into the psychology of their protagonist, forcing them into a role they have neither asked for nor wanted. How would the reluctant hero react to such circumstances? What moral dilemmas and internal conflicts would they face? What sort of personal transformation might take place throughout the journey? This is a great chance to explore themes of self-identity, destiny, fear, and responsibility.
