The Anti-Hero in Hagiography

Summary/Abstract: The opposition “hero/anti-hero” is a driving force of a hagiographic text. This is the scheme that is seen in antique tragedy: protagonist-antagonist conflict. The personality of a hero is three-dimensional: heart, soul and body; the anti-hero has only one beginning – the body. ThereforSe, the anti-hero represents not personality but a force, power, substantivized adjective. However, that power is an illusion. If the anti-hero had a soul, this would be a tragic soul; even if he had a heart, this would be a tragic person. The place of his personality is empty. The form has been remained. At the same time, he is devoid of ideological pathos by which the protagonist is filled with. The typical, generalized and common present in him as much as he repeats himself. Nonexistent internal form is expressed by the outer form which is nothing but a stereotype.
