Description

Have you ever wondered why similar characters seem to pop up in your favorite movies, television shows, novels, and memoirs? It’s because that character is an archetype that taps into a universal truth that resonates with audiences worldwide. This ongoing series will use examples from movies, TV, and books to highlight different archetypes and their role in creating a satisfying story with universal appeal.

This session will focus on the Anti-Hero archetype, which is the main character that lacks heroic attributes such as idealism, courage, and morality. Anti-heroes can sometimes do the right thing, but it is usually because it serves their interests.
