#WordWeavers 12-19 sympathetic antagonists?
I hope so?
I hate “dark lord” and other “personified evil” tropes, and I don’t write them. When my MAs are people (my WIP’s MA is the indifference of society) I make them real people—who usually don’t think they’re the “bad guy”
In PoM part of the *point* of the book is about finding empathy, even for the MA, who does some truly horrific shit.
People don’t earn empathy. Finding it for others is a gift you give yourself.
