Anti-Hero

America's society today seem to have an inevitable attraction to a faulty hero. One of the first anti-hero ever introduced in American Literature would be Ichabod Crane. Like any other anti-hero, Ichabod Crane was the protagonist with a bit too many flaws.


Ichabod Crane would not be the type of person that anyone would probably want to be around with. His principle and motives and life are undeserving of any type of praise. Although he may be charming, he is also manipulative and greedy. Things does not get any better when the readers find out about his insane attraction to Katrina Van Tussel, or Katrina Van Tussel's wealth. As identified, there are so much things that are wrong with Ichabod Crane, yet we still find our ways to love him in a way.



The musical comedy television show, Glee, greedy character, like Ichabod Crane, known as Santana Lopez. Santana Lopez is a not-so-typical cheerleader that faced a lot of trouble because of her harsh opinions and point of view in life. She is a girl that is able to find her way through difficulties with her charming and manipulative trait.

Anti-heroes have things that most people despise. Just like how Crane and Lopez are both charming, manipulative, and greedy, but we still love them no matter what because of the fact that they are who they are.
