by Jack BrownDivine interchange for the wolves of society, sentinels exact vengeance;
completing a circle of wrongdoing to justice with no rumination of possible redemption. The fatal flaw (or hamartia) is often an early cue that the actions of the anti-hero are morally despicable as well as dismissable to the public at large due to invariable punishment that is sure to proceed. This punishment of a plainly bad individual satiates our societal expectation that unfavorable action is met with a penance.
