What is a famous person in history or literature that brags a lot?

Question

What is a famous person in history/literature that brags a lot? I need it for an essay---it will state "I am no __________" <--meaning that "I am no bragger".

For example, if I was saying I was no villain, I would say "I am no Machiavelli".

Oh and the same thing goes for brave person.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Mike Fink

The recorded exploits of Mike Fink featured mostly in American broadside ballads, dime novels, and other subliterary texts from before the Civil War era. The first known reference to the character is in an 1821 farce, The Pedlar by Alphonso Wetmore. Here, Fink appears as the stereotypical bully and braggart. He appears frequently in stories involving the Davy Crockett cycle, but Fink lacked Crockett&#039;s more admirable traits such as his unique style of backwoods oratory, his statesmanship (including three terms in the U.S. Congress), and heroic death at the Battle of the Alamo.
