Roll your mouse over the highlighted elements in this excerpt to add details to Emerson's definition of heroism.

Its rudest (most basic, undeveloped) form is the contempt (disregard for something important) for safety and ease, which makes the attractiveness of war. It is a self-trust which slights (disregards) the restraints of prudence (the use of good judgment or caution) in the plenitude (an abundance or fullness) of its energy and power to repair the harms it may suffer. The hero is a mind of such balance that no disturbances can shake his will, but pleasantly, and, as it were, merrily, he advances to his own music, alike in frightful alarms and in the tipsy mirth(joy expressed with laughter) of universal dissoluteness(immoral conduct) .

Select the qualities Emerson gives to heroism:

It does not worry about safety.
It does not worry about difficulty.
It is not careful.
It is determined.
It is the same in times of fear as in times of fun.
It is self-confidence.
