* '''Deconstructed''': The author brings in a character that seems to make the hero look good by comparison, but through a series of reveals, the hero is shown to be better at seeming heroic than actually being heroic, while the bad example is shown to be better at being heroic than seeming heroic. The audience is left questioning who's the real hero.
* '''Reconstructed''': While the bad example's capacity for being heroic is shown to be greater than the rather less heroic hero's, reputation is also indicated to be an important part of heroism, and the bad example's bad reputation is shown to spoil the outcome of his heroic deeds. The audience comes to realize both characters would make much better heroes if they had each other's advantages as well as their own.
