Master Chief: True Hero of the War on Terror? How Antiquity's Heroic Character and the Contemporary War on Terror are Apparent in William C. Dietz's 'Halo: The Flood'
"Halo: The Flood" by William C. Dietz is a novel comprehensively based on a video-game series, which despite its success has attracted only minor attention from scholars during the last decade. In this essay, focus lies on the dual nature of the main character Master Chief. The aim is to show that he exhibits superhuman qualities like enormous strength and courage which are derived from antiquity's heroic character, and that he embodies a general theme of unquestionable duty which is linked to the contemproary war on terror. Without doubt, he comes across as an archetype and therefore he is investigated from the perspective of archetypal literary criticism, gathered from mainly "The Myth of Super Man" by Umerto Eco and "The Domestic Production of Gender, Power and Privilege" by Michele Adams and Scott Coltrane.

机译：威廉·C·迪茨（William C. Dietz）创作的《晕：洪水》是一部全面基于视频游戏的小说，尽管该小说获得了成功，但在过去十年中仅引起了学者的不大关注。在本文中，重点在于主要角色主人酋长的双重性。目的是表明他表现出超人的品质，例如来自上古的英勇气质的巨大力量和勇气，并且他体现了与当代反恐战争有关的毫无疑问的义务的一般主题。毫无疑问，他是一个原型，因此他从原型文学批评的角度进行了研究，主要来自于Umerto Eco的《超人神话》和Michele Adams的《国内性别，权力和特权的生产》。和斯科特·科尔特恩（Scott Coltrane）。
