[edit]I was surprised this subject did not exist on Wikipedia, because part of understanding why some stories are popular with audiences, and some are not has to do with characterization, something a writer needs to think strongly about. -Radical Mallard, August 4, 2007 (7:52pm EST)

[edit]"An unsympathetic protagonist is often called an "anti-hero".
I've removed this statement because it's very much a matter of opinion and quite debatable. Many characters who've been called anti-heroes are among the most popular and complex in modern storytelling. A villain is the more likely candidate for the label of "unsympathetic." An anti-hero is not an "unsympathetic protagonist," but a morally questionable one. --James26 (talk) 16:47, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
