Why We Like Anti-Heroes
08/31/2023
Some Catholics are wary of anti-heroes in literature and contemporary entertainment. I understand why. Here's why we like anti-heroes, though.
Human motive is complicated. Rarely is a person's motivation pure. Anti-heroes are morally complex, just like us. When we watch an anti-hero do a bad thing or a good thing for less than pure reasons, we don't see a villain or the Devil. We see ourselves. Anti-heroes are relatable in a way that heroes aren't.

3) Please one comment at a time. I do better with one-on-one conversations.
