What is the variant of a literary archetype referring to a character that rejects established norms and conventions, named after a English Romantic poet?
Romantic hero The Romantic hero is a literary archetype referring to a character that rejects established norms and conventions, has been rejected by society, and has himself (or herself) as the center of his or her own existence. The Romantic hero is often the protagonist in a literary work, and the primary focus is on the character's thoughts rather than his or her actions.
Man alone The man alone is a literary stock character. Usually an antihero, he is similar to the Byronic hero. The man alone tends to epitomise existentialism, and, in the words of the academic E. H. McCormick may be defined as "the solitary, rootless nonconformist, who in a variety of forms crops up persistently in New Zealand writing".
