Once Sigmund Freud entered the pictures in our unconscious minds, the good versus evil game got blotted out and replaced with all those shades of gray. Religion versus science surged in complexity, too.<br /><br />On the other hand, from the Holy Bible to present day, families have always had secret dirty laundry -- and not so secret, as well -- I really never believed in "pretty" families. No such thing. That said, I really love "Meet Me in St Louis" -- all for one, and one for all!

My WIP has a bit of the ambiguous about it. Even "pretty" families can have hidden evil, etc. Do you think the focus on realistic stories cause this?Zan Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13403563510118660546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4897061684051073051.post-33434165795085804222012-03-07T08:18:27.276-05:002012-03-07T08:18:27.276-05:00As a Tolkien fan, I miss the cut and dry evilness ...As a Tolkien fan, I miss the cut and dry evilness of orcs, too. There's a scene in The Lord of the Rings with a line that goes something like this "It was Sam's first [experience] of a fight of men versus men, and he did not like it much."<br />I've seen Freaks!
