She makes the novel really memorable.<br />I think there has to be a reason for malevolence, if they are just evil for evil sake then it is pretty boring. Something has to kick start the malevolence. I am sure Sophie works (next novel - I hope so!).<br />margaret blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04994723897446758457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7271510039435336442.post-55992567958106869942012-11-22T21:38:34.505-05:002012-11-22T21:38:34.505-05:00When we write romance, it's all about the emot...When we write romance, it's all about the emotions, hate as well as love so I think unlikable or downright evil characters are fascinating and provide a great contrast. How I wish I'd created the character of 'Rebecca' Margaret. A woman portrayed as being perfect who turns out to be anything but. Thank you for getting me thinking! I might just do an evil female myself.Cara Cooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15972751301677687055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7271510039435336442.post-57860005126872012692012-11-22T17:00:06.655-05:002012-11-22T17:00:06.655-05:00Sometimes there needs to be a character that we lo...Sometimes there needs to be a character that we love to hate. In that way, we can forgive some imperfections in the two principal characters - because no one's perfect or else they're a bore. Insecurity and maybe a hopeless longing for a love that didn't work out can make an ex girlfriend a more interesting character. ButI wouldn't have much time for someone who is simply spiteful or obsessive in creating problems.Beth Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291800895744785318noreply@blogger.com
