Those are the heroes that I like best - because at first they seem like a bad boy and not very nice but when the heroine discovers who they truly are - it gives you goosebumps. :)Keira Gilletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07331468391417189912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-28734723898760587362010-03-30T08:41:26.291-07:002010-03-30T08:41:26.291-07:00I must confess I usually think the bad boys are fa...I must confess I usually think the bad boys are far more interesting. It has to do with how they're written:<br />Being good is seen as normal so good guys don't have to be explained and usually stay a bit flat because of this, while bad guys have to be explained more so you understand why they're bad.<br /><br />The downside of liking the bad boy is that in the kind of books I read and movies I watch that means he usually dies! <br />And if by a miracle I think one of the good guys is actually really cool it usually is the dispossible good guy, who dies so the actual 'hero' gets angry and takes down the bad guys.<br /><br />Egh....<br /><br />As for favourite literary good/bad boys:<br />Chrestomanci from 'Charmed Life' by Diana Wynne Jones is my all time favourite good guy as he's so delightfully vague and mysterious and even while being a good guy has his sharp edges.Sullivan McPighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15133432350331782496noreply@blogger.com
