As a result, I have now posed an additional question to my readers - which was in my original draft, but I'd removed at the last minute.<br /><br />It is thought-provoking as to why some villains, at the hands of a skillful writer or director, can be made likeable. Humour is almost always the tool used. I've witnessed myself fall victim many a time to it.Jane https://www.blogger.com/profile/05368686874403775974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1535516938330383686.post-42218237490978761282013-02-08T09:03:44.325-07:002013-02-08T09:03:44.325-07:00I rewatched Thelma and Louise the other night and ...I rewatched Thelma and Louise the other night and found myself very uncomfortable for the same reason.

When I read the books, I had nothing but hatred for him, but the movies certainly humanized him for me.
