Antihero

反英雄

Antihero is the chief person in a modern novel or play whose character is widely discrepant from that which we associate with the traditional protagonist or hero of a serious literary work. Instead of manifesting largeness, dignity, power, or heroism, the antihero is petty, ineffectual, or dishonest.

反英雄指现代小说或戏剧中，品行与读者心目中严肃文学作品里传统的主角或英雄形象相去甚远的主要角色。与伟大、高尚、威严或英勇的英雄形象相反，反英雄体现的是卑鄙、无能或奸诈的人物。
