The antagonist may think they are justified in their actions, and therefore, are not in the wrong, and vice versa. The book sounds like it's a fabulous read. :)Precy Larkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16714824672731935371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083612851716281896.post-51831947360238192442012-03-25T15:09:00.472-07:002012-03-25T15:09:00.472-07:00Its great to meet you Mark!
