The role of violence in novels

I was for the amount of violence in my two novels, "Nine Lives Too Many" and "The Devil criticized in our dreams." We live in a world very severe, and I think the world, unfortunately. See my website to see how my http://www.senneffhouse.com books and represent our preference to use of violence.

The Daily News of Iraq convinces us that we live in a world of violence and the large number of executions in the United States on a daily basis. Our TV shows, movies and video games is saturated with violence. Housings bloodshed seem the most important pictures in our media. Our news programs and media in general, regularly report to the bloody events. After a while, I think we will be deaf in the shelter. We believe that violence is a part of daily life, the part of the condition human.

The recent horrific mass killings in the University of Virginia by a sniper student was our biggest news story for several days. The calm of a quiet academic was shattered by gunfire gunman quickly. Where people should be safe and protected, you will need to proved powerless targets rampage.

So why do I have to use violence in my novels and apparently aggravated the problem? I think not, aggravate the situation? You must first Get your players in your story. You have to hook the reader. As many readers hooked into a story through the portrayal of violence situations. It is unfortunate life. A tea party in a space are most readers do not catch - except maybe a sniper hiding behind the curtains. A novelist reflects the world around him, and if this is a world of violence, then the writer is often used - for the reader's attention, make a point to a context for the offer history, offers a mirror image of the real world each day.

We are caught by this constant and pervasive violence. It destroys our capacity for compassion and our sense of shock, shame and disgust. We have inoculated - are too complacent about infection and the culture of violence in our society.

In "Too Many" Nine Lives "I wrote a thriller that deals with terrorist nine bloody terrorist attacks that a terrorist, Felix the Cat, to New York City and Washington, DC did. It is a book full of attacks bloodier and bloodier attacks . I do not want to apologize for the deed. It was a book of the wild, wild rampage a sociopath. Was he a murderer, because he was a terrorist with a "cause", or was he a sociopath, of his inner madness serve?
"The devil in our dreams" begins with the murder of three people in a stuffy hotel in London. Why they were killed, is a matter for the reader. Perhaps they were to be killed to hook the reader into the story. If so, would that not be pure cynicism on my part to contribute? But keep in mind that I write fiction, mystery, that no fairy tale. I am not trying to write like Jane Austen. She lived in a monastery, small world of manners and friendliness. The England of his time was strong, loud, violent and often cruel, but it reflects only the grain in the world, it has chosen to represent, his microcosm.

Perhaps the writer is applying force to a story the same way they use sex in a story. Because it is an essential element of the story, not free, but necessary for what they tell you about the characters and action. Perhaps the sex and violence are connected. Some should be while the sex assault and turbulence. But will power is actually much closer to the element of rape with force, combat readiness and the struggle of the people. Love and sex should be fought the violence, the antidote to the violence and coercion.

Violence is often a reaction, a response to a situation. Not the kind of answer we want, but it is decisive, quick, and often a definitive answer to a problem. In nature, there is much violence. The animal and insect communities are full of violence. It is not only apply to people, the violence. The hunter pet goes after his prey, he uses violence to fulfill their goals and acquire food.

Is there something you can be deliberate to violence? The bandits, terrorists and military practice, which motivate them and consider their need for violence. One or more gunmen to kill the innocent sacrifice to appease their nutty - is that any intentional? Violence destroys death, and mutilated. It is an attack on reason, common sense, civilization and social order, but it exists. Religion has sometimes to theological violence to achieve goals. What a terrible irony it there.

In a perfect world there would be no violence. My novels do not portray a perfect world. They mark the imperfect world, we are with stucco - a world of corruption, hatred, cruelty, venality, and yes, violence. This creature imperfect, that is committed to perpetuate itself guilty not the ideal world, but this broken world we live in my novels are not the brightest star in perfection, but little real-world explorations. Read 'EM and cry.
