  Abstract:  The Heroic Figure in Kurt Vonnegut’s Deadeye Dick. The following article endeavors to show that Rudy Waltz, the protagonist in the novel Deadeye Dick, can be viewed as a heroic figure. In constructing the character in this manner, the author opts for a more direct exposition of his opinions, thus moving away from his standard sense of neutrality, which allowed the reader to agree or disagree with the ideas expressed in the novels. Several sections of this article have been taken from my unpublished PhD thesis entitled Funny Comment, Sad Context: A Literary and Linguistic Analysis of Kurt Vonnegut’s Works, Babeș-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca 2013.

Key Words: Kurt Vonnegut, Rudy Waltz, Deadeye Dick, heroic figure
