Great aspects

edit

I like how you further complicate the definition of ‘antihero’ with your sources while still being readable for a general audience. I learned a lot about the types of antiheroes that I had not even considered before.

I also think you summarize the information in a way that is neutral and balanced; I do not notice any obvious signs of biases or opinions in your draft, nor do certain scholars seem to overtake other scholars. Furthermore, you keep the topic focused without veering off track, which seems easy to do for this particular topic.

Suggestions for improvement

edit

I think it would be helpful if the article gave an example of each type of antihero—whether it be in historical or contemporary media. The illustrations of each type would probably be clearer for the reader to understand.

I wonder if “Racinian” could be expanded. I had to do a Google search and found Jean Racine. Is that whom the article is referring to?

Smaller suggestions for improvement

edit

There is a Wikipedia article about the dark triad personality traits. You could make a link to it in case users want to learn more about it.

I personally think “several factors” of the Racinian antihero should be changed to the specific number of factors (“three factors”). Users will know how many factors to expect when they read this section. When I read it for the first time, I was expecting a fourth factor and had to reset my brain when I did not see it.
