Anti-Heroes vs. Anti Heroines
Have a look at this article here. This article from the guardian simultaneously intrigued and angered me. Emma Unsworth, the writer of this article, explores anti-heroes and anti-heroines and the idea that readers are more likely to be intrigued by anti-heroes because they are more likable, mysterious, and dark all of which capture some readers even if they feel as though they must be disliked due to their actions. She then goes on to talk about anti-heroines and how readers react negatively towards them because they are likely to be characters that go against conventions of society and are unlike other female characters making them more unlikable. A great read. Made me look deeper into both my English subjects and is quite useful. Have you heard of any of the books in the list with famous anti-heroines?
