Anti-heroes are heroes that fall into two types: Doing good deeds for "unconventional reasons" (having a lack of morality, or at least in different shades than the normal psyche, and the second, being one that lacks conventional heroic attributes, such as honour, yet do good.

A more common type of anti-hero recently is "greater good" heroes, who will often commit acts of "evil" or bad things in order to preserve higher order

Words: Unconventional, gritty, cold, pragmatic, ammoral

Example: Catherine Foundling from PGtE; a "villain" who joins an evil organisation to do good from the inside and gain independence for her nation.

1. To inspire and provide the average person with hope, help them believe they can overcome adversity. Gives a sense of comfort that there is always going to be good in the world.

2. The epic hero is comforting, in the sense that someone else that is better and stronger than the average person will come to the rescue. You don't see yourself reflected in them, it is pure admiration.
The tragic hero warns us about the fates we will face if we allow natural human flaws such as jealousy, self doubt and hunger for power to overcome us.
Romantic heroes are portrayed as more human, allowing the average person to relate and therefore inspire them (someone like me can be great!). Similar to the epic hero, but rather than bringing hope in the form of somebody else coming to the rescue, it instills the belief that the reader themselves can grow into a hero.

3. Anti heroes are similar are similar to the romantic hero in the sense that the reader/viewer can see themselves reflected in them. However, anti-heroes lack the heroic qualities. They are popular as they critique and highlight the flaws of the societies we live in, which is very relevant to today's culture.

1) Heroes in literature allow us a model on how to improve our society through them improving theirs. They act as inspiration to elevate us to a higher moral standard through connecting emotionally and psychologically. They help release or mirror emotions in the reader that have been built up through the book or real life and it provides and outlet. We see a hero working in their community to better society and, if there are enough similarities between our society and theirs, we see how we can also improve our society.

2) An epic hero is a main character in a poem that usually tells the story of a quest or journey where they show extraordinary or supernatural abilities. Greek stories often use this type of hero. They allow us to seek comfort in knowing there is someone to protect us. A tragic hero has a sympathetic and virtuous traits but with a fatal flaw that ultimately lead to their downfall. This allows us to understand the things/emotions that can harm us and the people around us, showing us not to fuel those emotions. A romantic hero is a hero that rejects norms created by society and puts themselves at the centre. They show us it's ok not to conform and to try new things.

3) Antiheroes are characters who explore other non convential themes of heroism, showing morality rather than a godlike or isolated figure. They give readers an opportunity to see themselves in the character, being more relatable than other types of heroes because they are more like an everyday person. They allow readers to explore morals and social acceptability in a much broader sense than other types of heroes, they don’t have a righteous moral code and don’t just show up and fight their enemy, they experience a much deeper struggle which helps readers understand them, connect to them, better.

1) In a story, heroes are the characters that give hope to the audience. They present a drama and carry along the story line. It is even possible for a hero to be projected as a role model.

2) a. Epic heros represent imagination, as while they might not be realistic they represent the inner hope to save the world.
b. Tragic heros prove that the hero in a situation is not always perfect, and are able to learn from their mistakes.
c. romantic heroes appeal to those who feel like outcasts, presenting hope.

3) Because we have learned to be more realistic in standing up for what is right, as anti-heros do. In today's time it is encouraging us to do the same, and stand up for what we think is right. At the same time, their flaws and weaknesses help the audience relate to them more.

1. Heroes are often reflections of what we see in our selves. They can be fantasies or tragedies; no matter what the case, they are often reflections of how we behave as a culture and are essentially a narrative device through which the author narrates a strength or flaw; for instance, a hero may be superhuman but overall may result in a tale of how hubris and greed leads to downfall or otherwise. In other stories, heroes are often symbols of the human struggle against our own nature, showing that we can be improved and better people.
2. (a) Epic - Epic heroes are a self reflection of the idealistic traits that are desired by common people in society. In this sense, epic heroes are those who comfort common people by depicting their idealistic thoughts such as rescuing people, etc.

(b) Tragic - Tragic heroes have a purpose of displaying the persistence of a person through dismaying scenarios. This is technically what makes them ‘tragic’ heroes. By portraying deeply saddening and depressive emotions, these heroes play a role in relieving their audiences’ bottled up emotions, thereby developing a comforting connection.

(c) Romantic - Romantic heroes are the hope within the eyes of people, particularly because they stand out from the rest of the society, in order to accomplish what they admire. Hence, they appeal to people and encourage them to stand up for themselves instead of always ‘abiding’ by norms.

3. The anti hero is the most popular hero type at the moment, due to it being the closest to a human, in which it anti heroes make mistakes and learn from them, therefore giving the character more depth and development, making the entire text more realistic.

1. We create heroes that are able to fight against the monsters we cannot see. We create heroes to inspire people and give them hope, give them a sense of comfort. We need heroes because they save and improve lives.
2. a. It reveals that we have a need to create characters that can defeat  what we cannot.
b. The tragic hero demonstrates that even people who appear flawless can fall from grace. They serve the purpose of bringing out emotions, or relieving 'bottled up' emotions.
c. The romantic hero serves the purpose of proving that people shouldn't always conform to the 'norms' and they can take time to focus on themselves.

3. The reason anti-heroes are common is because they are the most relatable, they are flawed. Any normal person can be an anti-hero, whereas it is impossible to become an epic hero.

# data[].attributes.body
1. People need heroes because they save or improve lives and are also able to be inspiring.
2. Epic Hero: This type of hero reveals that people in our culture can not be epic heroes. They have purity and perfection that can not be achieved by people in our society.
Tragic Heroes: We can relate to these characters since they slowly become flawed from that perfection. They get caught up in things then regret doing so.
Romantic Hero: As they get rejected by society, just like many of us. In current culture there is rejection, or the act of "cancelling" someone, that is normalized.
3. Anti-Heroes are flawed characters who make troubling decisions and face adversity. These characters are so popular because they’re relatable due to their flaws. Anti-hero’s give our grievances a voice.

The protagonist of Fahrenheit 451, Guy Montag is a prime example of the qualities that make an anti-hero because he lacks the qualities that make the conventional hero, lacking foresight and caution when he begins to challenge the norms of society. The anti-hero usually conforms to the oppressive society at first, just as Montag is a firemen who enforces the regime of the oppressive government who begins to realise the evil of society. The first sign of Montag’s diversion is clear when he begins to divert from his previous indoctrination in the oppressive society after he meets Clarisse. When she asks him “Are you happy?”, he begins to question everything (another clear trait of the anti-hero. Anti-heroes usually notice when things aren’t right in society and dive head first into fixing them, with no caution as to what they may find. Anti-heroes more often than not turn to the wrong people for help in figuring out their new knowledge which is exactly what Montag does when he asks Beatty for information. He 'consorts with the enemy’ when he asks Beatty for information on the history of fireman and how mass media came into power with no thought as to whether the information is true or if Beatty has discovered his secret.Anti heroes often contain flaws that lead to their troubles or conflicts with other characters in the work. This is seen when Montag wants to read the books with Mildred, forcing her to read them with him with no thought as to what she may do. Montag contains many flaws that go against the traditional idea of a hero, he is impatient, foolish and stubborn. This stubborn and foolishness is clear when he forces Mildred and her friends to listen to the poem ‘Dover Beach’ with no regard to their feelings or how they might react, only thinking about spreading his ideal.

Montag is an anti-hero in many ways; for one, the sense of being a "hero" on the weaker side of a larger struggle, where he pits himself against the institution makes him an anti-hero of sorts. However, this, combined with the fact that his character arc involves a transition from ignorance and almost unquestioning loyalty to shattered faith and enlightenment makes him the archetype of the anti-hero trope. His lack of honour and certain feelings, including the gradual estrangement from his wife, and his impulsive behaviour shows that Guy Montag has, despite transforming into a character who stands on the side of morality, is still a flawed and compelling character, instead of being completely invincible similar to most redemption arcs do, and further strengthens the case of his anti-heroic qualities; this can best be seen in the following quote:
===
"Theory, hell," said Montag. "It's poetry."
"Montag." A whisper.
"Leave me alone! " Montag felt himself turning in a great circling roar and buzz and hum.

Through his conforming attitude towards society, and an epiphany of reality as an attribution to an ambiguous exposure, Guy Montag takes shape as the anti-hero in F451. Guy Montag, although in a superior position, finds himself in a state of ignorance consequent to his encounter with his seventeen-year old neighbor, Clarisse. This contemplation of his is first observed when he returns home, saying - “Of course I'm happy. What does she think? I'm not? he asked the quiet rooms.” With lacking traits of courage and confidence, Montag goes on to realise that he has nearly never taken time to focus on how he truly feels about his daily life on the inside, yet does not really show concern for it. Furthermore, a river of thoughts comes gushing through his mind and he begins to feel the insecurities, realising how big of an impact Clarisse’s 3 words had on him. "Let me come in. I won't say anything. I just want to listen. What is it you're saying?" As an archetype of an anti-hero, Montag’s growing inquisitivity here, shows the complex character he is and marks the beginning of his venture to evolve out of his everyday life. He is also noted to be losing his temper and patience very easily, as he indulges with the concept of books. His reaction to Mildred’s friends finding out about Montag storing books at home - “All three women were on their feet. "Sit down!" They sat.” is evident to this behaviour of his. Overall, it can be said that Montag’s character almost entirely resembles the traits of an anti-hero.

Guy Montag is the anti-hero in Fahrenheit 451. He is an anti hero because he lacks the conventional qualities of a hero, such as courage or morality. At the start of the novel he is ignorant and conforms to all of the norms of his society. Montag performs morally correct actions however they are for the purpose of his own happiness, not to help others, and in the process he makes threats towards other people and even kills his captain. Montag is not special in any way, he is just a regular citizen that was lucky enough to be exposed to the truth.

In Fahrenheit 451, Guy Montag, the protagonist, accurately represents an anti-hero. In the beginning of the plot, the overarching power in the society where he resides has brainwashed him into conforming to societies norms, with no exceptions, towards the end of the plot he breaks free from this control and acts in ways that are contrary to societies beliefs. After meeting Clarisse, and being asked the question "are you happy?" his ignorant mindset transforms into one that leaks of curiosity and the need to learn more about the world around him, disregarding societies common values. Another way in which he portrays a prime example of an anti-here is in the fact that he lacks the qualities of a conventional hero, embodying a range of "human" traits and emotions. His character is more relatable than conventional heroes such as batman or superman. He chooses to do the right thing sometimes, clearly illustrating that his moral grounds are unsteady, much like a human. A conventional superhero will always do right by their community, whereas an anti-hero makes this transition through learning experiences. Although, when Montag does make the goth decisions, it is only with himself in mind, not so much bettering the rest of his community. Another characteristic trait of an anti-hero that Montag portrays is when he naively shares the wrong information with the wrong people. An example of this is when he tells captain Beatty of his views and questions. He is strongly opposed to this. Unlike a classic hero, who knows exactly what to do in each situation, Montag's character is flawed. His views are easily swayed, he is sensitive, dependent on other (very unlike conventional heroes) and he is easily overwhelmed. All of these character traits combined form a prime example of an anti-hero.

Guy Montag, the protagonist in Fahrenheit 451, is an example of an anti-hero. Montag shows many of the qualities of an anti-hero, such as lack of courage (at first), conforming to societies standards at first and then eventually acting in ways that are contrary to societies beliefs. At the start, Montag conforms to society, easily complying with his role as a firefighter, nevertheless, this role in society was what brought him to the realization that he wasn’t happy and, in turn, he starts to question everything, “He burnt the bedroom walls and the cosmetics chest … everything that showed that he had lived here in this empty house with a strange woman who would forget him tomorrow…”. Montag’s lack of honesty is evident when he starts to act against the societies laws, by bringing books home and hiding them, along with the ones he had previously taken (something that he had hidden from Millie). However, he is also dishonest with himself, when he says that he only wants to look at them and then he will burn them, although, deep down he knows, that he wants to know much more about these books than just find out what is so appealing about them, “I want to look at them, at least look at them once. Then if what the Captain says is true, we'll burn them together, believe me, we'll burn them together”. Lastly, although he knows he is acting contrary to his societies beliefs and laws, he is delusional enough that he believes he could change the opinion about those around him, and makes the mistake of being too trustworthy, sharing a section of a book with Mildred’s friends. This stubbornness eventually causes consequences, when Mildred breaths him and he has to run form the Hound.

Guy Montag, the protagonist of the novel, is a prime example of an anti-hero. In the beginnings of the plot, he brainwashed-ly conforms to the oppressive society he lives in. After meeting Clarisse, and being questioned "Are you happy?", his perspectives change and he becomes a non-conformist, but lacks the conventional heroic qualities and is portrayed as very 'human'. He is more compelling and relatable, his moral grounds are unsteady and he *sometimes* does the right things, *sometimes* for the right reasons, characteristic of the anti-hero character arc. Montag's 'good deeds' are usually only in his own interest, not for the improvement of others that live in the same society as he does. Another characteristic trait or action of an anti-hero that Montag portrays is when he naively shares the wrong information with the wrong people. He shares his new views and questions, which are illegal, with his captain Beatty who is strongly opposed to them. Furthermore, unlike a classic or epic hero, Montag's character is faulty. He is morally unstable, he is easily swayed by others, often inarticulate and stumbles over his words, he is very dependent on others, and very sensitive (finding himself confused, frustrated, overwhelmed throughout many instances in the novel). These attributes combined make Guy Montag a prime exemplification of an anti-hero.

Guy Montag is perceived as an anti-hero character in the novel F451 as he neglects to conform with the ideologies of his society but does not do it in a heroic manner. In the novel he decides to go against the societies censorship and betray the sole purpose of his job by ironically hiding books in his house. He is not a hero in the novel, however in the audience eyes is smart enough to remove himself from the oppressive atmosphere by instead of neglecting books and following the never ending censorship of outside knowledge in his society, he cherishes the books which we as the audience reward him with the title of an anti-hero. He's not special he's just doing what each of us would do in this society, not making him a physical hero, but inspiring us through his courage.

Guy Montag, the protagonist of Fahrenheit 451, is an ideal example of the anti-hero of the story since he still challenges society, knowing the consequences of his actions. He lacks heroic qualities or supernatural abilities. However, he decides to give a voice to the people and fight for free will despite the fact that his quest is impossible. He first follows by the unfairness of the dystopian society he lives in and later progresses to become a hero, voicing his opinions of this cruel society. His role at the beginning of the story, the exposition, is a fireman burning books which are considered illegal in society. He later opens his eyes and discovers the true significance of books. As a result, he ironically harbours books in his home, betraying his role as a fireman and his role in society. His role as the anti-hero of the story is observed when he is on the run after Mildred, his wife, hands him in. Knowing the consequences of his actions, he still strives to achieve free will.

Guy montag is a representation of the anti hero trope as he perfectly fits the description of a indivisual with lack of stereotypical heroic qualities yet still challenges the enviornment and society even with the possibly dire consequences. His charachter is defined by key values of intelligence, sinsetivity and naivity. Unlike the average hero allthough hes curious and intleligent hes weak minded and is easily swayed to the opinion of those around him showing weak moral grounding. At the begining of the story he doesnt start out as a chosen hero but rather a regular person who matter of fact preforms the job that represents the totalitarian governments oppression as a whole and enjoys it, his will to fight was never natural thing yet hes easily curious to the words of professor faber and Clarrise. Allthough he is intelligent his overwhelming naivety and emotions take over, as seen when he fights with Mildred. The point where she turns him in is a very real life scenario that many may face showing how the anti hero is made to be representative of our selves. These are one of the many mistakes he makes through his journey. Another factor that shows hes a anti hero is the fact that hes fighting against the whole system that imminently stronger than him, he cant succeed and rather than being courageous and facing the system head on hes constantly scared running away whether it be by the hound or more. Finally the last scene is representetive of the tragic hero, there is no victory, the system is still strong and there is now a war waging. Hes hiding in the country with a band of rebels.

Throughout Fahrenheit 451, Montag is the anti hero character. As with most anti heros, he starts as a supporter to the oppressive ideologies. "It was a pleasure to burn", this shows Montag's naive enjoyment to destroying books, thinking he is benefiting his society, this shows Montag's support towards censorships and oppression. This view is changed as Montag meets Clarrise, in which she leaves him with some questions that staked deep in, allowing him to reflect back on what he truly believes regarding his job. Montag makes many mistakes along the way, such as showing his wife the books he stole before he made sure she was ready to know that, which resulted in her informing authorities regarding Montag. However, after making many mistakes, he manages to achieve his goal of escaping the censorships and oppressions.

Guy Montag is an anti-hero because he best fits the image of an individual who lacks conventional heroic attributes but nevertheless challenges the world and culture, considering the potentially serious repercussions. The main values of intellect, reactivity, and naivety characterize his character. Unlike the normal hero, he has a poor mind despite being ambitious and intelligent. With the exception of the typical hero, he is gullible and easily swayed by the views of everyone else around him, indicating a lack of integrity foundation.

Guy Montag is the anti-hero of Fahrenheit 451 as he doesn't have the conventional hero traits and actually, has quite the opposite because he begins the book by doing damage to the society, but in his mind, it was helping.  Montag thought he was doing the right thing and for example when other people think otherwise, he would get mad at them because in their society, books are not allowed.  Montag makes many mistakes, such as showing his wife the books he stole before he made sure she was ready to know that, which ended up with her informing the authorities. However, after making these mistakes, they helped guide Montag to become a better person, by realizing that there is a person behind each book who put their effort, mind and time in to each page. Montag manages to achieve his goal of escaping the societal normality and becomes a better person.
