Anti Heroe

    Hey guys I'm here to talk about and describe two anti heroes. Ichabod Crane and Tate Langdon, a character in "American Horror Story", have many similarities and differences. They both play a major role in each novel and TV show. They're known for being strong in the inside but in reality they have weaknesses. Something that controls them both but wont admit to it.

    Ichabod is very tall, dark, and not so handsome but Tate on the other side is very hot, pale, and strong minded. Attitude wise they are both very different. Tate isnt afraid on anything but Violet and he will do anything and everything to keep her around. Ichabod pretends to not be scared but in reality he is even scared of his own steps. He would do anything his landlords tell him to do. Mop the floors, watch the kids, repair the large hadron collider, he would be right there doing it.
As cowardly as he can be, Ichabod sure has a temper. At school, Ichabod whips his students and rules over them like a cruel tyrant:
In his hand he swayed a ferule, that sceptre of despotic power; the birch of justice reposed on three nails. (1.32). Long ago, in high school, Tate kills 12 students and they come hunt him down. He hurts many people in the TV series.

     Ichabod is very greedy. He's mad with desire for wealth, power, and status. After all, the only reason he wants to marry Katrina is so he can strike it rich. Tate's greed is Violet he wont let anyone get close to her he fears to lose her, all he cares about is her.  Ichabod wants Baltus's wealth and he plans to get it by marrying his daughter. If Ichabod were just greedy, he could find any other way to get rich. But Ichabod specifically wants what Baltus has. Tate's envies Violet's dad because he thinks he's just the perfect dad in the world. He believes that Violet would leave him if her dad tells her to.

    I am probably jumping from topic to topic but both of this characters have something in common that makes them different. I know that didn't make sense but if you think about it, they both want something they cant have, but would and will do anything to obtain it. Ichabod is more of grimy sneaky person than Tate. Tate doesn't care about what others think or feel.
