List of fictional antiheroes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Thepoodlechef (talk | contribs) at 06:23, 19 March 2013 (→‎Television). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Gustave Doré's depiction of Satan from John Milton's Paradise Lost.

This list is for characters in fictional works who exemplify the qualities of an antihero. Characteristics in protagonists that merit such a label can include, but are not limited to:

  • imperfections that separate them from typically "heroic" characters (selfishness, ignorance, bigotry, etc.);[citation needed]
  • lack of positive qualities such as "courage, physical prowess, and fortitude," and "generally feel helpless in a world over which they have no control";[1]
  • qualities normally belonging to villains (amorality, greed, violent tendencies, etc.) that may be tempered with more human, identifiable traits (confusion, self-hatred, etc.);[citation needed]
  • noble motives pursued by bending or breaking the law in the belief that "the ends justify the means."[citation needed]

Each of these examples has been identified by a critic as an antihero, although the classification is somewhat subjective.[original research?] Some of the entries may be disputed by other sources and some may contradict all established definitions of antihero.
