In this paper we analyze Simon Bolivar as a literary character in a corpus of texts obtained from Biblioteca de Escritores Venezolanos Contemporaneos (1875) by Jose Maria Rojas. The analysis is limited to a series of elements related to the hero, such as courageous facets, inventiveness/thinking, relationship to nature with hero, superhuman power, the enemy (as defeated by the hero), as well as an unexpected case found (in which heroic qualities are also observed).
