Anti-Heroes
The Anti-HeroThe concept of an Anti-Hero is often used in darker literature.
The Anti-Hero is being used more in modern literature as authors try to portray villains as complex characters
An Anti-Hero relates to a reader because the Anti-Hero displays more humanity that a regular Hero.
Instead of a standard tragic flaw an Anti-Hero may try to do what is right by using questionable means.
Anti-Hero TraitsAnti-Heroes can be obnoxious.
Anti-Heroes can be pitiful.
Anti-Heroes can be awkward.
Anti-Heroes can be passive.
Types of Anti-HeroSome Anti-Heroes may be unable to commit to traditional values of society.
This type of Anti-Hero distrusts conventional society and is not necessarily of high status.
Another type of Anti-Hero can’t “get a break” in life.
He/she will move from one disappointment to another, their efforts always ending in failure. The anti-hero often does not find any type of redemption.
The Anti-hero does not always die at the end of a text (but sometimes does)
