It's the climax before the climax (before the final climax).
So you're saying that reading DOH will lead to multiple climaxes?
...it's a novel without a "villain," that it only contains characters which are at crossed purposes. Of course, I suppose the same could be said for any supposed protagonist/antagonist relationship.
Well, "villain" suggests a kind of malevolent intent, a knowing decision to commit evil in counter-action to an established "good". If the characters are only committing actions based on their unconventional views on morality or conduct, it becomes fuzzy. Do we truly condemn the ghul for eating human flesh?
You know, I don't think I even want to ponder that rhetorical question.
For the price of just two or three big cups of that bitter swill Starbuck's insists upon calling coffee, you can have two or three new pieces a fiction each month, plus illustrations and etc. For less than the price of a pizza. Come on. It's the right thing to do. Search your feelings. You know it to be true. If you only knew the power of the Dark Side. It is your destiny. Join me, and together we can rule the galaxy, and...er...um
I swear, my internal reading voice actually morphed from "Caitlin-voice" to "Xtian Children's Charities-Voice" to "Wilford Brimley-Voice" to "James Earl Jones-voice" while reading this. Very strange.
