Chapter 11: The Romance of The Three Kingdoms; Kuan Yu’s downfall and death
Page 48 line 8.
kuan yu's downfall and death are recounted in some of the finest chapters of the novel.an aging warrior, he is reaching the pinnacle of his fame but also exhibiting the most impossible haughtiness and folly.
Question:
What was the purpose of further developing the character even though he was willed with flaws such as his arrogance and irrationality? Acuity to the historical data would be sufficient in the development of Kuan Yu to the reader. The concept of developing a hero escapes the purpose of the narrative; however, it can be speculated that the concept of heroism according to Lo Kuan-chung relies on both historical and folk details.
