Antihero's Journey

The journey, transformation, movement through a New World and State, detachment, attachment, Gaining of Capacities etc are all independent of hero archetype. The antihero's journey follows the same structural process as the hero's journey, as demonstrated by antihero stories such as:

  • Godfather (1972)
  • Scarface (1983)
  • Goodfellas (1990)
  • American Gangster (2007)
  • Get Carter (1971)
  • A Clockwork Orange (1971)
  • Leon (1994)
  • Maltese Falcon (1930)
