An Antihero
Gene and Finny achieve their separate peace by facing their inner struggles and accepting themselves for who they are. Gene learns to let go of his envy towards Finny and comes to terms with his feelings of guilt. Finny, on the other hand, finds peace by embracing his unique qualities and maintaining his carefree attitude towards life despite the challenges he faces.
The character of Phineas, also known as Finny, can be seen as the anti-hero in "A Separate Peace" by John Knowles. While he possesses qualities that are traditionally heroic, such as charisma and athletic ability, his actions and motivations blur the line between heroism and selfishness, creating a complex and morally ambiguous character.
