  • Summary

  • In this episode, we explore how a shared history or connection between the protagonist and the villain can add depth and intrigue to their relationship. We dive into the various ways such connections can manifest - a shared past, a mutual acquaintance, or an intertwined destiny - and how these can heighten the emotional stakes of the conflict and contribute to the overarching themes of the story. We also discuss the role of shared histories in revealing character motivations, personalities, and fostering familiarity. Using Victor Hugo's classic novel, Les Miserables, as an example, we illustrate the power of a mutual past in shaping character relationships and driving the narrative forward.
