Let's talk about Myth and Heroes. A myth can be defined as a story about gods or heroes, it can be a popular belief or a tradition or a false notion. A hero can be a mythological figure, a person who is admired for his or her achievements, a superhero or maybe a role model or an icon. I would like to illustrate this notion through Bonnie and Clyde life's and the myth of Bansky. To what extent Bonnie, Clyde and Bansky can be considered as hero ?
