About this episode
We all want to be the hero! Of course we'd rather be like Mufasa than Scar, or Luke Skywalker than Darth Vader. The list goes on, but the essence is the same.In fact, not only is the archetype of "hero and villain" common, but it's really the only story that exists. Complex fiction is able to create complex characters with both good and evil within them, such as Batman, but many of the original stories split the nature of good and evil into two separate characters; Christ and Satan, for example.The question is: should you always be relating with the hero? And if you relate to the villain in some way, does that make you evil? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
