The same thing as with any other character, believability Mark Send a noteboard - 22/12/2009 05:43:21 PM
What makes a villain a villain? Human qualities? Lack of? I'm curious to know. Should they have redeeming qualities? Should they just be completely sinister?


I want to believe in the characters that I read and believe that they would make the decisions that they make. That is pretty much it.

That makes me enjoy a story more. Jaimie in the Song of Ice and Fire series was a great example. *NM* Tashmere - 30/12/2009 03:44:23 AM 271 Views
