The Anti-Hero’s Journey

The Anti-Hero’s Journey describes the personal growth of a protagonist who lacks traditional heroic qualities, such as idealism or moral purity. Instead, they often start flawed, conflicted, or morally ambiguous. Throughout their journey, they confront challenges that force them to face their weaknesses, make difficult choices, and develop a deeper understanding of themselves. This path emphasizes internal struggle, self-awareness, and transformation rather than classic heroism. It highlights the complexity of human nature and provides a more nuanced, realistic perspective on personal change and resilience.
