Comenius Project: The Role of Superstrong Heroes in Narrative by Nathaniel Schmidt '26
The Comenius Independent Study Program offers Moravian Academy sophomores, juniors, and seniors the chance to explore their interests through self-directed projects in specialized fields. This is their opportunity to showcase their passion for learning to our community and establish themselves as an independent scholar as they prepare for college!
In "The Role of Superstrong Heroes in Narrative," Nathaniel Schmidt '26 explores the enduring appeal of characters such as Hercules, Superman, and Thor, who, despite their extraordinary strength and apparent lack of personal conflict, remain pivotal in storytelling. Schmidt reveals that these heroes' most significant challenges arise from navigating and challenging the societal structures that confine them, showcasing how they uniquely represent and confront the limitations imposed by their worlds.
