4. Mulan’s faults hinder her from becoming a hero because her stubborness digraces her family and the army. For example, Mulan is quite stubborn about going to war in her fathers place. When Mulan decides to disguise herself as a man, this act alone is treasonous. When her gender is found out her family is disgraced, dishonored and she faces death. Her fellow soldiers are also disgraced and feel betrayed by her disguising herself as man. Their military valor is also called into question because they fought along side a woman.
