#HonorableCharacter

These books represent the fiction and nonfiction genres. Both of the MCs in them have a strong sense of honor. In A Gentleman in Moscow, Count Rostov conducts himself by the gentleman's code of honor. In Beneath a Scarlet Sky, Pino Lella acts honorably even though in doing so he puts his life at risk.

Day 13 - #HonorableCharacter #DearDecember

In Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, Atticus doesn't specifically give a literal definition of honor. However, he does define courage, and based on his definition of courage and his actions, we can deduce what he sees as honorable.

Bold and fearless, Russian Nazi-fighting bomber pilot Nina Markova had a shitty childhood/adolescence at the hands of her violent father. But she risks everything to bring justice and truth to WW2 victims of a lethal, vicious Nazi murderer known as The Huntress.

#DearDecember Day 13: This story was inspired by a legend about an #HonorableCharacter, “a Jewish poet Samuel Ha-Nagid, who was the vizier (highest royal advisor) in Muslim Granada, a city in Spain.” I was intrigued by his life, his poetry which earned him his reputation, and this time in history when such a cultural intermingling among individuals is deemed acceptable.
