I've just read 'Heathcliff' by Sue Barnard which is a look at another side of the character from Wuthering Heights. I can manage the villain's POV for scenes or even short stories but not for anything of length - yet.<br /><br />This is one of the few IWSG Wednesday posts I've visited as I've been sick. So, apologies to those I failed to visit this month.Roland Clarkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03302133565980901397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136420115688099157.post-11215627653997631172019-03-08T22:31:25.128-05:002019-03-08T22:31:25.128-05:00A lot of interesting stories have been told from t...A lot of interesting stories have been told from the villain perspective. Remember the Sons of Anarchy (SOA) series? We all knew he had to go to jail, a life of crime goes against nature, but he was seriously interesting!!! A couple of these you mentioned will be interesting for me too.<br /><br />Congrats on the award IWSG!dolorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715849844092553699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136420115688099157.post-3993036075691460052019-03-08T09:43:45.600-05:002019-03-08T09:43:45.600-05:00Excellent examples of stuff written from the suppo...Excellent examples of stuff written from the supposed villainous side.
