Romero is first introduced into “The Sun Also Rises” on page 166, as Montoya asks Jake to meet the amazingly described bull fighter. The text states that Romero was “dignified” and that he is “a real one. [And] there had not been a real one for a long time”. This is our first glimpse at the heroism that exudes from Romero in the ring and the first time one can see his “grace under pressure”. Romero's skills exhibited within the bull ring steal the show and as the narrator puts it “Romero was the whole show”. Romero avoids “ every brusque movement and saved his bulls for the last when he wanted them,..smoothy worn down” and “always works to the bull”. His grace under pressure leaves the on-edge crowd with “real emotion”, and “did not emphasize the closeness” of the bull. Romero's style is described as “something beautiful done close to the bull was ridiculous if it were done a little way off”. His heroism is displayed in the old fashioned, real way and “holds his purity of line through the maximum of exposure”. Pedro Romero displays himself by exhibiting smooth, graceful, fear-free tactics while being extremely close to death each and every time Romero enters the bull ring. Romero's fighting ability to guide the bull and choose when to kill shows how he can handle himself assuredly and how the bull fighting lifestyle makes him confront danger head on in his everyday career. On page 178, Romero is described as “not at all embarrassed...nothing conceited or braggartly about him”. This shows the genuineness of Romero's character, his true heroism. During the last, and greatest bull fight the novel states that “the public were for Romero...they applauded him” and that “Romero did always, smoothly, calmly, and beautifully”. Pedro Romero's character is the direct embodiment of Hemingway's “heroism” idea. He remains one hundred percent calm, stoical, and magnificent while directly facing danger. This is Romero's legacy of true “Hemingway heroism”.Hemingway's definition or code of ethics for heroism, is that a true hero exhibits "grace under pressure”, as Romero displays within “The Sun Also Rises”. Hemingway's idea is that in difficult life situations a “true hero” can handle himself assuredly and can confront the danger head-on. This idea and expectation of Hemingway's hero meshes with many types of everyday heroes. The police, firefighters, parents, and teachers are all “heroes”. In different ways, of course, but all show the qualities Hemingway describes and portrays Romero to embody. The Police force are a unit used to protect a community from danger. They portray excellent citizenship while sporting a loaded gun and taser. As an officer kicks down a locked door awaiting the danger beyond, the never once let that fear keep them from “striking out”. Their entire job centers around the idea of “confronting danger head on”, ideally what Hemingway believes true heroism is. As the siren goes off, fourteen men slip on boots, fireproof gear and hug the pole all the way down. The truck siren arrives in front of the danger, a house caught of fire by a forgotten cigarette. As these fourteen men ruthlessly evacuate the house, they never once think “am I going to get out of this alive?” or “what about my family”, firemen think only about the present and helping out the ones who need it, never once bowing to danger. While police and firemen uphold serious jobs that contribute to societies safety; teachers and parents also portray Hemingway's idea of heroism. Screaming kids, spit wads, dirty diapers, and ABC's; parents and teachers may face more dangers than most. Everyday though; these two important professions prove that heroes do not back down. Parents and teachers portray ideal Hemingway “grace under pressure”. Hemingway's idea is that heroes represent and uphold themselves while facing extreme dangers never backing down and face danger head on. Like Hemingway's Romero, everyday heroes also mesh into his ideal of the “true hero”.
