Do you really like studying?" Mattia nodded. "Why?" "It's the only thing I know how to do," he said shortly.

I think even a hero is someone who has sort of the flaw or imperfection of character. I remember Alice Walker saying that once - she'd written a novel about a civil rights hero, and it was someone who had this flaw, this central flaw.
