"The noir hero is a knight in blood caked armor. He's dirty and he does his best to deny the fact that he's a hero the whole time"
- Frank Miller
About this Quote
The quote by Frank Miller speaks to the essence of the noir hero. This hero is a complex figure, one who is both a knight and a criminal. He is a knight in the sense that he is a protector of justice, but his armor is caked in blood, recommending that he is not a traditional hero. He is likewise a criminal, as he is filthy and does his best to deny his brave nature. This duality of the noir hero is what makes him so compelling. He is a problematic character, but he is still a hero, and his struggles to reconcile his two sides make him a fascinating figure. He is a symbol of the moral uncertainty of the world, and his story is among redemption and hope.
