Workshop your story’s antagonist character in my 1-week online course. Begins Monday, October 24th.

If the Protagonist is most often your story’s most important character, the Nemesis is not far behind. Indeed, some of the greatest characters in film history have been Nemeses including Darth Vader (Star Wars: Episode IV — A New Hope), the Wicked Witch of the West (The Wizard of Oz), Buffalo Bill (The Silence of the Lambs), and the shark (Jaws).
