#LateNightWrite How do your protagonists truly feel about your antagonists and vice versa? Is/was there ever any rapport between them or do they simply hate one another?

Yes! My MC's journey starts with her joining the rebellion. When a heist goes wrong, she convinces a team to infiltrate the enemy to destroy them from within, which is when she begins to realize she might be fighting on the wrong side of history

#LateNightWrite Q1:
I like when you can understand the antagonist's perspective as much as the protagonist. In my current WIP, I played with the idea that the hero is the one who survives to tell the story.

#LateNightWrite How do you write antagonistic characters in your stories? Do you prefer irredeemable villains? Not necessarily evil opposing views? Are your antagonists foils to your protagonists, are they two sides of the same coin?
