ABSTRACT
Literature has long tradition of representing chivalry and honour, the romantic and dramatic chord echoes through successive centuries to rhyme in the dust of the heavily bombed village. The value of literature in understanding contemporary international relations derives from its rich sources, which studies human evolution in detail. Events and stories overlap in the sharing, producing an eclectic set of characters that emerge as heroes or villains, supermen or terrorists, gods or demigods. Globalization as a process is reflected in the confusion of manners, behaviour, and ethics in relation to honour and daring feats. The entry on terrorism in the Oxford English Dictionary refers to a practise that is related to using violent and intimidating methods, especially to achieve political ends. The world of the freedom fighters invariably overlaps with the world of the terrorists, but simplistic references need to be proceeded with caution.
