Just like the Reject anti hero, the Moralistic anti hero is destined for isolation. This video reminds us of how Walter White changed from a high school chemistry teacher to one of the most famous anti heroes of all-time. The system is messed up, so he rejects it by cooking meth in the pursuit of financial power, essentially abandoning his ties to the moral structure of society. In Breaking Bad, you could argue that the pursuit of financial power is the major dramatic theme of the series.īut we empathize with Walt, at least at first. He has a family, a home, a stable job - but one day, he’s diagnosed with cancer and has little means to procure treatment for himself. Take Walter White from Breaking Bad for example. Then that protagonist is likely a moralistic anti hero.Ĭhange doesn’t come easy - and it often requires sensational action. We all know this is true, but what happens when a story makes its protagonists strike back against the status quo?

To answer that, we have to follow his actions.īickle does everything possible to make himself more masculine in an attempt to gain control of everything that eludes him. When Betsy says that his personality is double-edged, we know that this will eventually lead her to reject him. Just like in The Stranger, Travis is accepted, then later rejected for his strangeness. Instead, the insatiable inner conflict brewing within him comes across as peculiar to others or even alluring, albeit for a short time. Travis keeps his worldview under wraps, because he knows deep down that he’ll be rejected for it. He does this in three ways, all of which are noble, but are perverted to the point of criminality: Despite his off-putting anti hero characteristics, Travis strives to be a hero.
