In "The Brothers K", Everett Chance is characterized as a modern-day hero. Holding the characteristics of a hero, Everett was able to bring out the theme of Unification. By accepting Atheism, Everett unconditionally set himself up to be shunned by his church and town, but most importantly his mother. However, as the tragic events come to play (Irwin's restrain in the mental facility), Everett makes his comeback and returns. He organizes supporters and devises a genius plan in hopes to rescue and bring his younger brother Irwin back. Aside from the decisions and choices he made (not go to war, flee to Canada, become Atheist, etc.), he was successfully able to rally and unite everyone under the common belief that the situation concerning Irwin is unjust and justice needed to be served. The theme of Unification runs parallel to the themes of Justice and Human Morals, revitalizing Everett's characterization of a modern-day hero.
