This is a summary of the Hero archetypes from The Complete Writer's Guide to Heroes & Heroines: Sixteen Master Archetypes (see the footnote on the index page, Heroes and Heroines). You can also find the Heroine archetypes on Romance Genre Heroines. Also listed are the villainous versions of the Hero archetypes; these come from the website of one of the authors (again, see the footnote on the index page).
