Grey characters vs. traditional heroes/villains

In literature and media, grey characters have gained significant popularity due to their complexity and intriguing nature. Unlike traditional heroes and villains, who are typically portrayed as morally good or evil respectively, grey characters fall in between and possess a mix of virtues and flaws. They challenge conventional notions of right and wrong and blur the lines between heroes and villains. This morally ambiguous nature of grey characters makes them relatable and allows for a deeper exploration of human psychology and moral dilemmas. It ultimately prompts audiences to question the traditionally defined notions of heroism and villainy, adding depth and complexity to storytelling.
