Villainous Heroes and Heroic Villains
Talk by Gry Kappel Jensen.
Esbjerg
A villain is evil because they do evil things. A hero is good because they always do good things. Or… are they?
From the trickster Loki and the unsympathetic, mysterious Professor Snape to the determined and merciless Arya Stark.
In truth, it’s the villainous heroes and heroic villains we find most exciting to read about. Maybe we even root for them — because they’re the ones we can truly relate to.
Author of the Rosenholm Trilogy and Eventyrsagaerne, Gry Kappel Jensen talks about the heroes and villains she loves, and how that love has shaped her own characters.
