MYTHS AND HEROES DEFINITION

1. A definition of the word "anti-hero" in URBAN DICTIONARY

 

The anti-hero is the hero who does the right thing, but with tactics that aren't always what you would call ethical. They are more interested in getting the job done than in doing it as virtuously as possible, therefore showing how morally ambiguous they are. The anti-hero has become more popular with society today because people can identify better with the good-guy who sometimes does the not-so-good things; the hero who does no wrong is outdated and is becoming increasingly irrelevant in this day and age. They are the product of a society in which the line between good and bad is becoming harder to tell.
