I'll have to check out your villain.<br /><br />Janice, I've never seen Hell Boy, but what you said about Prince Nuada is another example of a conflicted villain we can learn to love.<br /><br />Helene, Bela Lugosa scared me. I didn't know Dracula was so different in the book. And I have to say JR had something very seductive about his evilness. LOL about your ex. I have named a few villains after my ex.Cara Marsihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05384839120633419382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-31202450091116734262012-02-24T21:15:46.292-05:002012-02-24T21:15:46.292-05:00oh I forgot one my ex tho I don't hate him no...oh I forgot one my ex tho I don't hate him now I sure am not sending him any birthday or Christmas cards lol:)helene tompkinsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-28996015263514615102012-02-24T21:11:45.226-05:002012-02-24T21:11:45.226-05:00my first villian I hated was bela logosi dracula, ...my first villian I hated was bela logosi dracula, then when I read the book I feel in love with him , then it was darvad in stars wars then saw more of the movies and loved him , lastly J.R EWING gotta say not in love with him lol I seem to love the misunderstood and torured souls , whats that say about me ? lolhelene tompkinsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-1109825526164049462012-02-24T17:35:09.756-05:002012-02-24T17:35:09.756-05:00Your post make me think of the elf Prince Nuada, i...Your post make me think of the elf Prince Nuada, in Hell Boy II the Golden Army. He was tough, brave and unyielding in getting his way, but there was something noble about him too. He believed that what he was doing. I actually got annoyed at Hell Boy in this movie and rooted for Prince Nuada.<br /><br />Janice~Janice Seagraveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02576031935823587485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-22959097480484202122012-02-24T17:31:30.264-05:002012-02-24T17:31:30.264-05:00Great post, Cara!

I can't think of any classic villains right now, I but did enjoy writing the villains in my three historical romance novels. <br /><br />My favorite villain to write was Jake Wagner, in my Civil War time travel romance, Erin's Rebel. He was out for himself, but felt justified in all the havic he wrought.Susan Macateehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07476340887041053638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-45365335414035612982012-02-24T15:40:23.944-05:002012-02-24T15:40:23.944-05:00Tina, thanks for posting.

Usually, they are hurt in someway and become obsessed in making others hurt, think Wicked Witch. As Harlie pointed out, Darth Vadar. Hated him, but we grew to understand him. I'm going to be thinking about this some more. Congratulations on your book, sweetie!Vicki Batman, sassy writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13846704675542248648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-48258608985315226302012-02-24T09:47:44.190-05:002012-02-24T09:47:44.190-05:00I find the most intriguing villains are the ones w...I find the most intriguing villains are the ones who are sociopaths - that is, without empathy because of faulty wiring, bad genetics, or whatever causes it. They're charming on the surface, but can change in a flash, becoming deadly. Gene Hackman in Unforgiven is a case in point. He looks harmless, smiling benignly, then wham - he'll cut you down in a flash. And it's not because he had a bad childhood or his mommy didn't love him, it's because he's a sociopath - no empathy. They walk among us, just look at the horrible crimes committed against the Petit family in Conn, and what happened to those two little boys in Washington State at the hands of their father. <br /><br />Those are the villians I like to see taken down in stories with justice prevailing at least in print. :)<br /><br />Much success with your novels, Cara. Your covers are amazing.Tina Donahuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07160021732404091277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-24349971956620426382012-02-24T09:47:14.754-05:002012-02-24T09:47:14.754-05:00Thanks, Marika and Adele.

He loved his mother and Padme but the need for power and being seduced to the dark side was greater.<br /><br />Of course, his son redeems him in the end but watching Anakin/Darth Vadar is fascinating.<br /><br />MarikaHarlie Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01866226921079232570noreply@blogger.com
