There are no bad characters in a book.  No evil men, no victim women. 

The only reality are Puppetmasters  that give them Opportunity  and Instrument to  Harm,...or to Heal.

Crafty WordSpinners  that spin a web of  Wordy Illusions...., to decide for YOU , what is wrong and right, what is black and white, what is evil and good .

When a character suffers i only blame its creator.  i don't hate the evil protagonist, because he too is the authors spawn.

here there's no buddha , no jesus , no moon goddess .

In a novel the author is the only GOD

i especially hate writers who's only story plot is to isolate women in some faraway place to have them emotionally and physically abused , magically healed only to be tortured over and over again in a vicious cycle only for the victim to end up with the tormentor :  ref the twisted vampire or werewolf mate genre.
