One Of The Most Unusual Personalities Of Female Anti Hero Novel

By Diane Williams


Antiheros or anti heroines are men and women that are depicted in numerous works of literature and cinematic rolls of film since the earliest centuries of humankind. This archetype has long since entranced audiences and readers for their strong yet unlikely characteristics, making them unusual protagonists that play central roles in these works. Despite not exhibiting any particularly redeeming qualities, these characters continue to induce a hypnotic trance, which leaves the audience feeling entranced despite not agreeing with their actions and reasoning a hundred percent of the time.

The archetype was first depicted in literature emerging from ancient Greece, Rome, and works from Renaissance writers. In 1714, the word was first used extensively and since then, it became a returning theme in works of literature and numerous movies featured this archetype as the years went on. In this modern age, it continues to be a topic of much interest to folks. In line with this, listed below are the most enticing personalities of female anti hero novel.

The first personality on this list is Amy Dunne, the titular character of a novel entitled Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. Amy or more commonly referred to as Amazing Amy, a beautiful, smart, independent young woman who has achieved so much since she was a young child. Regarded as a prodigy, it shocked readers when it was revealed that she had manipulated the persons around her, including the media, that she had been murdered and abused by her husband. The reasons why are known from the beginning, but as the story unfolds, it becomes clear that everything is not always what it seems from the surface.

A traditional job of fiction is Macbeth, composed by William Shakespeare himself. Among the protagonist is Girl Macbeth, a despotic yet oddly hypnotic female that was just one of the very first leading women functions that determined as an anti heroine. What really established her apart was that she continuously tested and sough to redefine the conventions and ideas of exactly what was specified as an upright and typical female in culture, which when checking out currently, is taken into consideration extremely in advance of her time.

The Girl on the Train is authored by Paula Hawkins and its leading personality is Rachel Watson, a very unreliable narrator that has been accused of killing a person. The reason for her unreliability is because she drinks excessively, to the point where in her memories have become blurred by her habits. Although exhibiting negative qualities, her passion and interest in resolving the crime and determining the truth from the blurred lines of her addiction makes the reader root for her towards the end.

Another classical book is that of Therese Raquin, authored by Emile Zola. The titular character is a woman of the same name. Zola is considered the founding pioneer of naturalism and as a result, his works are all quite realistic. In fact, Zola is known for his knack of creating stories and works of fictions that focus more on the nasty and grotesque side of humanity, as opposed to the wondrous. Set in Paris, Therese is a murderer, but she is also the protagonist. One that was truly revolutionary during her time.

Stieg Larsson is a popular figure in literature, politics, and among protesters and libertarians. However, he shocked readers and followers of his work when his Millennium trilogy was released after his death, the first one entitled The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. It featured a most unlikely protagonist in the form of a troubled punk woman named Lisbeth Salander. Among her many gifts and talents include boxing, professional hacking, research, and a photographic memory. All this makes for an interesting personality, which she exudes with much wisdom and with a strong inclination for justice, despite of her unorthodox methods.

Titus Andronicus when loosely translated means the queen of vengeance and is another book written by William Shakespeare. After her son was wrongfully killed by the antagonist Titus, the main character devises a way to enforce her powerful vengeance. Complete with torture scenes and gore, Titus Andronicus is perhaps one of Shakespeare most daring works of all time.

Wuthering heights is another classic, one which nearly all kids in middle school and high school were required to read at some point. The titular role belongs to Cathrine Earnshaw, a highly memorable but original personality that sticks with you, even as she dies. Due to her premature death, Cathrine proceeded to haunt her soul mate, named Heathcliff. This work of fiction is regarded a classic, both for its gothic themes and romanticism for relationships that do not end at the grave.
