Let me see...an anti-hero is not necessarily a villain? This guy seems to me simply another human being. Maybe I haven't gotten your point, but never mind. Each of us are entitiled to our own definitions for the same thing."Anti-hero"...a term to ponder on. As we have got so many "superheroes" in our popular culture... D IP: Logged |

An anti-hero is just a protagonist with qualities not traditionally considered heroic. There was a development in literature, towards the end of the Renaissance, I think,
when it became popular to tell sympathetic stories, not just about ideal heros,
but, about ordinary, struggling, suffering, desperately flawed individuals. It was intended, in part, to dignify the experience of the common man,
and even of those people whom we are least likely to be impressed by,
and most likely to alienate ourselves from and pass judgement upon. IP: Logged |

I was just thinking a little while ago, how tired I am of reading about characters who are perfection personified.

HSC  Too err is human. Striving for perfection or being a superhero is a misled attitude. There is a difference between excellence and perfection. If we were all "perfect", we would not be human. Being human is much better. D xxxxxxxxx
