Everyone seems confused, so I'll clear things up. An "antihero" is characterized by the inversion, opposition, and/or absence of some *integral* traits and/or roles of the standard heroic archetype. (A character with *no* heroic traits is just a regular non-hero.)

Jan 6

Similarly, a hero that lacks only non-integral traits is just a standard hero with some character quirks. Note that the list of eligible qualities will vary depending on what "standard heroic archetype" you're using.

The concept may be understood as the battlecruiser of literary analysis: defined primarily by reference to categories that it does not occupy, with a lot of room for variation.

The Count of Monte Cristo! High-class dining, and he was written by Dumas so you know the conversation would be fascinating. Also, he never eats in the presence of his enemies, so I'd be safe.

Antiheroes may do right things for wrong reasons or vice-versa. Lestat kills sadistically, but only evildoers. Han Solo has no guiding moral code, but makes right choices in the moment. Even Vader's character arc begins and ends on the right side.

Read _A Confederacy of Dunces_ to see EVERY kind of antihero in one place: intentional, accidental, main character, soul-change, redemptive, it's a master class in literary antihero styles.

Dr Lecter, I would say, however, wouldn't he be a villain? Ugg so confused. Lastly, it seems Pickle got a lot easier than the first two. The key to it is if you're interested make sure all the pictures are facing the right way and go from there it's not that difficult from there

I have no problem rotating pieces theoretically in mental 3D or visualizing the picture, it's the sequencing I can't get. I don't even bother trying anymore, I just hate it because it's an exercise in futility for me.

As a killer he is a villain. What makes him anti-hero is his moral crusade to only kill evildoers. Lestat the vampire has the same convictions and is also an antihero.

Ok I don’t really understand what an antihero is, but I’m going with Severus Snape and Draco Malfoy.

Antiheros are people who try to do the right thing but have questionable methods/morales. Snape is a good antihero!

It's the literary version of "battlecruiser": defined mainly by what it isn't, with lots of variation and argument over what variations count.

Come on! If you think Walter White is not a villain, you've got a real problem. He never regrets about doing what he did, and dragged his own family to disgrace. Despite being a victim of a cruel health policy in USA, he's not a 1% hero.

I don’t know if he’s so much a villain because intentions matter. Yes he’s doing something bad, making/distributing drugs is not good, BUT he’s doing it all for his family because he knows he’s dying.

Typically, the anti-hero will embody an opposite. Dexter Morgan does "right/good" things, but for "wrong/bad" reasons -- and Walter White does bad things for the "right reasons.

ive never seen the show, but afaik he kills multiple people? i dont think selling illegal items to pay medical bills is inherently evil but he seems to also do many bad things on top of that that makes him a villain (from what i know!)
