Should the good guy always win?
First, thank you so much for having me on your blog
today Stacy!! This is a question that I have asked myself a lot lately. Should
the good guy always win? I know that most of the time it’s expected. People
want to see a happy ever after. But, does it alway have to be the good guy who
gets it?
I think the bad guy has gotten the short end of the
stick for a while. They more often than not are interesting and have better
back stories than your typical protagonist.
I’ve gotten so sick of reading the same story over and over again. Boy
meets girl, bad guy enters and threatens them, fight ensues, good guys win and
bad guy slinks off to lick his wounds. Where’s the fun in that? I’ve made it my goal to have at least one of
my bad guys win. Not sure when it’s going to happen, well, I do. But, I’m not
going to tell you yet.
I think the bad guy should get a happy ever after. Don’t
they need love too? Don’t they want to ride off into the sunset? Books would be
a lot more interesting if we were never sure who was going to win. Besides,
some of the bad guys are just so good. We have characters like Damon from The
Vampire Diaries or Eric from the Sookie Stackhouse books who have made the bad
guy more loveable. They are delightfully wicked, with just a touch of goodness
in them. The intensity and the range of emotion you can get from a bad guy has
always been a draw for me. The inner struggle, that bit of them that craves the
darkness. It makes reading that much more fun for me.
What do you guys think? Do you prefer a white knight, or
a dark prince?
Thanks again for having me on the blog Stacy!!
