An ant...Good question. You've got me thinking! <br />An antihero is the guy that saves the world. But he's not thinking of everybody when he does it, only the people he loves. SO I would call him a sociopath. He kills without too many qualms, and forges alliances, but you can't trust him too far. I think he does have a strict moral code of some kind, so you can predict some/most of his actions from this. The only one that comes to mind atm is Clint Eastwood's characters from the spaghetti westerns, and possibly Dirty Harry.Louise Sorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00008081758091569032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8112823877858970832.post-67839686193572758182012-04-19T21:19:01.524-04:002012-04-19T21:19:01.524-04:00Thanks, Cathy.Those are both good examples.
I th...Thanks, Cathy.Those are both good examples.<br /><br /> I think a lot of Antiheroes come from a "outcast hero" place, Roland from the Dark Tower comes to mind. But others are guys who wouldn't have been heroes at all- Sandman Slim comes to mind. He might have ended up a scumbag if he hadn't found something worth fighting for.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15624997816376441123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8112823877858970832.post-85519261496879277882012-04-17T12:02:44.121-04:002012-04-17T12:02:44.121-04:00This reminds me of Zsadist in the Black Dagger Bro...This reminds me of Zsadist in the Black Dagger Brotherhood trilogy... sort of "he's a larger-than-life hero, but incredibly damaged and it's probably better if you're not alone in a room with him." Or Russel Crowe's character in L.A. Confidential. He has his own personal code, and if it agrees with the law, fine... but usually it doesn't. The only characteristic I'd add is they might have been true heroes at some point, but were thwarted -- made to believe their heroism was wrong, punished and derided and cast out for their code.
