...because good does not always prevail evil.
Recently, I noticed my patterned *disturbing* interest on the characters from the books I've read.
1. Steve "Leopard" Leonard (Cirque du Freak series by Darren Shan)
He's the most evil boy I've ever met (read), and he didn't dissapoint me for he continued to grow up one, successfully. He became the Vampaneze Lord and fathered nemesis Darren Shan's nephew. The twist, however, is that, he and Darren Shan, rivals for becoming the Lord of the Shadows who'll soon destroy the world, are actually, real brothers. Both are son of Mr. Desmond Tiny a.k.a. Destiny. Still, what makes his character impressive, is his stubborness. He spent his entire life studying and finally, hunting for vampires from the day he made a vow that he would kill Mr. Crepsley for rejecting him as a vampire assistant. He drew a cut on his right (?) palm and from that day forward he stuck with his vow.
2. Hannibal Lecter (Hannibal by Thomas Harris)
He's the most sophisticated villain I've encountered and by far, the most brilliant man --- he's not only excellent in science, but also in the arts (perfect balance of the left and right hemisphere of the brain) --- with an extremely exotic taste (he calls the pancreas and thymus (his favorites), "sweetbread")
3. Edmund Seymour (Red Queen's Daughter by Jacqueline Kolosov)
He's gorgeous and he's a black magician. He's willing to destroy everyone who comes on his way of fulfilling his ambitions --- of claiming power and richness in the palace... and is even more willing to use his own cousin, Mary Seymour, to live up to his dreams. Too bad, though, he really fell in love with her. But thanks to Mary, he was arrested by the royal guards and after a day of being imprisoned in the tower, he had escaped and probably redeemed his dark nature.
4. Satan (Letters from the Earth by Mark Twain)
My newest favorite! How could I not like an ever inquisitive and insightful guardian angel? He's curious, self-righteous, and doubtful of God's ways. His letters to Angels Gabriel and Michael, are bold yet amusing. I say, he's the most cynical, meaning, *MY* Holden Caulfield (The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger) would just be second to him.
*GLORIFYING EVILNESS*
There are a lot of forms of evil in this world, but nothing strikes me more than what the book creates. I mean, sure it's fiction but you can just imagine the works of the "evil" you encounter day-by-day. Most of them are plain stupid. Flawed. Insubstantial. Might as well say, pitiful but not to the point of mercy's worth.
Evilness is not a cowardly, stupid *bad* thing that most people are likely to think.
I say, rapists aren't evil. They're lustful retards.
I say, pickpocketeers aren't evil. They're lazy fools and low-class greedy.
I say, kidnappers-for-ransom aren't evil. They're first-class greedy.
I say, bullies aren't evil. They're insecure.
I say, most politicians aren't evil. Like the bullies, they are deprived of attention.
Evil arises mainly to resist the existing order. Evil destroys. Evil cannot be satisfied. Evil never settles down.
Evil defines good.
Evil is being Steve and Hannibal and Edmund and Satan. Evil is John Doe (Se7en, movie). Evil is Tom Marvolo Riddle (Harry Potter series).
Evil is persistent.
Evil sees clearly.
Evil is mindful.
Evil knows no vanity.
Evil knows no compassion. Evil thinks more than feels.
Evil is proud.
Evil has dignity.
I wish to be evil.
Evil may fail but will never accept defeat..even to the end.
"Evil" is the reverse of "live".
I've slept for twenty years and I'm exhausted from dreaming and creating some more. I think it's high time that I wake up and put an end to my nightmares and realize that I am done.
'Til then, I am in pain.
