Story-Formed: There Be Dragons

We all live in a world shaped by stories. These stories try to win us over to believe their view of the world. But not all stories are created equal. Some stories point beyond the subjective to the permanent things, such as truth, beauty, goodness, justice, and virtue. Join us as we explore the importance of the villains in our stories. How do villains shape our moral imagination? What's up with all these ghosts, dragons, and witches in children's tales? Wouldn't it be better to get rid of the evil characters and focus on being good instead? What happens to a culture that has erased all of its villains or turned the villains into heroes instead? Welcome to the conversation!
