Anti heroes (late)

   An anti hero is a character in a story lacking hero qualities, such as courage and morality. Ichabod Crane is a perfect example of an anti hero, he lacks courage and seems to have a bit of a greedy side.

   Mary Shelley's Frankenstein featured Victor Frankenstein, another example of an anti hero, Victor's negligence led to the creation of a monster.

Both characters featured a lack of courage, with Victor running away from his creation and Ichabod just being scared of the supernatural, both have outcomes of what is speculated by most, DEATH.

Both Ichabod and Victor were fond of a significant other, while the intentions were different, they still pursued a female. Victor's lover is murdered at the hands of his creation, despite his efforts, the outcome wasn't so good. On the other hand, Ichabod pursued Katrina for her soon-to-be wealth, he also ended up losing the battle.

Lastly, both Victor and Ichabod shared a lack of morals. After all, Victor's negligence led to the deaths of his loved ones, and he still wondered why do all the misfortunes happened to him. Ichabod's greed led to his demise, while pursuing his lady, he's 'heart-stricken' and falls to the hands of the headless horseman
