Definition: The word "antiheroism" refers to a character who is not heroic but rather, in essence, heroic because they are portrayed as being without heroism or strength. This often involves characters who lack the physicality or strength that would make them appear heroic in a narrative context. They may be unassuming, passive, or just plain ordinary in their actions and flaws; yet, these individuals possess qualities that make them compelling as heroes to readers, even if they don't seem so.
