Greg Heffley and Ichabod Crane the Anti Heroes 

Greg Heffley in the Diary of a wimpy kid series by Jeff Kinney and Ichabod Crane in the Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving both play the role of the anti hero. The anti hero is the central character of the story but lacks the conventional heroic attributes. Both characters are the anti heroes, due to both being inconsiderate of other people's feelings.

 

 Greg Heffley and Ichabod Crane are both inconsiderate of other people's feelings. Greg Heffley in Diary of a wimpy kid is inconsiderate, due to him using his own best friend to try to become more popular in middle school. This would end up backfiring on Greg, by Greg becoming less popular and his best friend claiming the popularity that Greg so highly desired. 

 

Ichabod Crane in the Legend of sleepy hollow displayed his acts of being inconsiderate of other people's feelings, by only wanting to marry Katrina for her father's money and not considering her feelings in looking for a husband. With Ichabod not being considerate of other feelings it would end up coasting him his life, due to him not paying attention to Broom Bones stories until it was too late.

 

 

In both stories the reader is able to claim that due to the way that Greg and Ichabod treat others and disregard others feelings, that neither on would achieve their goal of wanting popularity or money.
