How to Write a Good Hero

Your hero needs to be passionate about something and a lot of the really good writers know what they're doing. It's exactly the issue with Lord of the Rings. Yes. Though I wouldn't say the villain takes over there because the way Tolkien avoids that is by having the villain be basically a non-entity. He's an evil force off somewhere, but Gollum takes over very quickly. Because he is very active and everyone is reacting to what he does. Right. And you as a reader react to this. We react to proactivity, we react to passion.
