But sometimes, doing a work which defying morals isn't very justifiable.

I wouldn't exactly classify that as modern anti-heroism to be honest

If that's the case I don't understand why you would see him as an anti-hero? But maybe everyone has a different opinion on what makes a person a hero or a villain. But I do agree, most of the times we end up rooting for the MC whether he is the hero or the anti-hero.Alicia09 wrote: ↑05 Aug 2018, 16:22 I think Agent Sliver is an anti-hero, but I ended up rooting for him anyway because his desire for revenge on Ancarn was justified based on everything Ancarn's corporation put him through. I also ended up rooting for Agent Sliver because even though some of his targets seemed non-threatening (like the professor), he had no other options for employment at the time Fellrock hired him so doing his job was a means for his survival.

I don't think he felt what he was doing was right. Sometimes he was acting against his own morals. Even if he did his best most of the time.

It wasn't as if he was actually doing 'well' in life. Or maybe it was. He had a job he did well. But I agree, one shouldn't ponder over the past. But for someone in Agent Silver's position, that's a difficult thing to do, especially when your past was traumatic.Issahak sulemana wrote: ↑03 Aug 2018, 18:32 I think he is anti hero when moving well in life u shouldnt allow your self to be confronted in bad thing that happened in the past

In such a situation as his, finding a job itself is a big task, much less a well paying one. We can't blame him for doing something for survival.

That being said I dont think silver is a hero. He was just doing what he thought was right, even when it hurt others. He became a better person, but no hero.
