The look into how one human could break and a glimpse into how dark we can become. <br /><br />It's funny 'cause I'm such a non-violent person, so this is pretty ironic and special to me.

I'm a bit twisted, but I love the Joker. It's hard for me to hate villains. I don't usually agree with their plans, but I rarely hate them. (Villains are just too near my heart!

He made the keen observation that there are the evil villains who are easily hated, then there are the characters you like, but who do bad things. These conflicted characters seem to have the most impact on the readers.Elizabeth Seckmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00045076826326574984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6402640602628647606.post-61249235520766967262012-03-15T05:26:49.922-07:002012-03-15T05:26:49.922-07:00GRU!
