Between light and shadow: Hope Mikealson as an Antihero in Legacies

This bachelor thesis analyzes the character of Hope Mikaelson in Legacies with a focus on her classification as an antihero. It examines her development between hero, antihero, and monstrous figure within the context of increasingly complex female characters in modern television.

Based on a qualitative content analysis of selected scenes, the study explores visual, narrative, and linguistic elements, including changes in appearance, behavior, and communication.

The results show that Hope Mikaelson can be understood as a modern antihero, reflecting a broader shift toward morally ambiguous and complex character representations.
