How about shoving a child out a tower window, in an attempt to murder him, to cover up the incest?
Murder is so common in GoT that these things go straight over my head aha

I would say that an anti-hero is not just a character who lacks conventional heroic qualities, but are actually the negative version of the hero. They are attempting to accomplish a "good", but the methods that they use are decidedly "evil". Most MCs are neither heroes nor anti-heroes, they're somewhere in between.

This is really difficult for me because really love anti-heroes. Captain Mal, Gene Starwind, Elric, The Hound, The Punisher, Spike Spiegel... the list goes on and on. I just really love heroes with a darker side to them
An anti-hero is someone whose morality is flawed but they are aligned with a good cause. In Beowulf the Danish King and Grendel are both anti-heroes. Dexter is a villain. His sister is an anti-hero.You see Gene Starwind as a true anti-hero? Interesting. I always thought of him as a reluctant hero with rather strong moral conviction that just needed some coaxing to come to the surface.
Is a figment.Tyler Durden (Fight Club)
Tyler Durden (Fight Club, pretty much my all time favourite book/film). Did you know it was based on the Great Gatsby?
And both Jamie and Tyrion Lannister.
I guess I see them as one and the same, since they are essentially the same person. He starts out as Tyler Durden as the antihero, and then the 'narrator' becomes the anti hero when Tyler Durden becomes the antagonist half way through.
If Tyler Durden is a figment then aren't all characters figments? I mean, Tyler Durden was a true, living, breathing flesh and blood character (the narrator) he was just the other side of the narrator's psyche. He still existed though, in the concept of the book. Aren't all characters just figments of the author's imagination? Though we accept them as 'real' in the context of the story.
