So an anti-hero is someone who does mostly good deeds for malicious reasons?What are the names of those who have equal amounts of good and evil at the end of the work? I think the individualistic approach is to blame here. In the Soviet Union after World War II, the realization came that the enemies in the Civil War were not so bad and this resulted in the creation of books and films where the White Guards were portrayed as likable. And then for ambiguous heroes the terms were used: "one of our own among strangers" and "a stranger among our own" emphasizing that their was an exception to the rule. In general, Lewis spoke about this even earlier in the last book about Narnia: ?If you do good in the name of evil, then you serve good. If you do evil in the name of good, then you serve evil.
