What Is an Anti-Hero?

An anti-hero is a hero you love to hate. Unlike a traditional hero, anti-heroes are riddled with vices and flaws. These characters are not categorized as morally good, but are often seen as selfish, self-destructive, and unconventional. Anti-heroes often make destructive choices and are motivated by self-preservation. This isn’t to say they don’t care about others. They’re just motivated by their own moral compass. Because of this, anti-heroes are incredibly relatable. They’re a mirror of humanity, showcasing the strengths and weaknesses of humankind. It’s easy to see yourself in an anti-hero because they’re not perfect—they make mistakes.
