: If you were to define Indy in a two word phrase, it would be Romantic Hero. I say this because in my English class we are doing Arthurian legends and medieval heroes and among the modern examples are American cowboys, Star Wars, and Indy. Definition of romantic hero is someone who always fights for good and wins, chivalrous, quests, stuff like that. Indy certainly fits in there. Incidentally, I think if Indy was English the king would have knighted him by now.

I don't know about chivalrous. He certainly does end up doing good things, but Indy is more of a Han Solo than a King Arthur. He's always after the fortune and glory. Remember how he nearly made the same mistake as Elza by trying to take the Grail? I think you do. In my opnion, chivalry takes a back seat in Indy's personality.
