S1 E5 - Simple Story Techniques - For the Love of an Antihero - Anthony Burgess's A Clockwork Orange

In this episode I look at the elusive archetype of the antihero. I specifically look at Anthony Burgess's A Clockwork Orange; a story where the antihero is king. Burgess deliberately plays around with the character type, showing just how morally ambiguous antiheroes can be. CITED: Burgess, Anthony. A Clockwork Orange. London: William Heinemann, 2012. Brombert, Victor. In Praise of Antiheroes. Chicago: The University of Chicago Press, 1999.

S1 E7 - Simple Story Techniques - How to Appreciate all Fiction - Jane Austin's Pride and Prejudice

This episode details my belief that all works of art hold some value when regarded through a varied critical eye. This is in contrast to engaging in a narrow view of thinking that art is either 'good' or 'bad'.
