“i like this villain!”
oh no, you don’t! you haven’t filled out the appropriate forms! you need better credentials. first fill out the following*:
do you admit–publicly, loudly, and continually–that you do not:
✔ condone ✔ accept ✔ understand
any of the villain’s immoral behavior, and that you do not:
✔ enjoy ✔ tolerate ✔ see any value whatsoever in
reading about actions that deviate from Current Puritan Norms, regardless of their merits as devices of narrative tension, character believability, and explorations of morality and empathy in a literary work?
