Thread Name: Anti-Heroines in Traditional Song?
Subject: RE: Anti-Heroines in Traditional Song?
Eppie Morrie ~~ just a heroine; what's supposed to be "anti-" about her? She defies and defeats her dishonorable abductor & his companions ~~ what's anti-heroic there?
Fanny Blair ~~ a straight villainess: not any kind of heroine, even an "anti-" one.
I'm getting tired of pointing out that an anti-heroine is not the same thing as a female villain. Can people really not comprehend this vital distinction?
