An example of a knight of infinite resignation provided by Silentio is the concept of the tragic hero. On page 87 of Fear and Trembling he gives the example of Brutus and whether he had to sacrifice his daughter to bring wind to his fleet. Silentius writes: "When at the decisive moment Agamemnon, Jephthah and Brutus heroically renounce their loved one and have only the external act to perform, then there will never be a nobleman in the world who does not shed tears of sympathy for their pain." .” (Silent 87). The quote explains how people would feel bad for Brutus and show sympathy towards him, understanding the sacrifice he made for them. This is another difference between a knight of faith and one of infinite resignation. The action of a knight of faith does not benefit others, but only himself. For example, how Brutus performed sacrifice to help his people while Abraham and Tejada both performed acts that would benefit no one else other than their own relationship with God. Because surely Abraham's sacrifice of his son he would benefit no one but himself, but only his standing before God by doing what was required of him. The same goes for Dora Tejada, because killing her own son would not benefit anyone else in any way, unlike Brutus's sacrifice of his daughter. More specific
