Carlyle uses this framework to explore themes of identity society and the nature of belief. The narrative blends satire allegory and autobiography challenging readers to question conventional values and seek deeper meaning in the world around them.</p><p>Accompanying Sartor Resartus are the Lectures on Heroes delivered in 1840. In these lectures Carlyle examines the role of the hero in history arguing that great individuals shape the course of events through their strength of character and vision.
