Heroes, Villains and Antiheroes In Heroes and Villains by Sonia Maasik and Jack Solomon, they argue that there are more to heroes and villains then what they appear to be while in comparison to No Sympathy for the Devil by Heather Havrilesky says, that we tend to cheer for the flaws of the anti-hero because we can justify their wrong doings for the greater good.
