Conflict is the very heart and soul of drama. Mythologist Pamela Jaye Smith's latest book explores character conflict and a multitude of ways to achieve it: *Defining the Dark Side helps you select and clarify the worldview that indluences your characters' actions. *The Three Levels of the Dark Side - personal, impersonal, and supra-personal - offer layers of interweaving conflict. *A roll-call of Villians includes Profiles and Suggestions for creating your own versions of reader's bad-to-the-bone favourites. *Learn to match Antagonists to Protagonsists, and to use the Sliding Scale of Evil.
