Sarah Waters, British author of Tipping the Velvet once said, “Respect your characters, even the minor ones. In art, as in life, everyone is the hero of their own particular story; it is worth thinking about what your minor characters’ stories are, even though they may intersect only slightly with your protagonist’s.” Minor characters are often considered insignificant to the plot of a novel.

After reading the work twice, I have counted only two simple sentences: “Nor was this widespread fear a simple neurotic obsession” and “Victorians dealt with their uncertainty in two ways.” Both sentences contain a single…

Have you ever said I’ll do anything to get something done? In society we do that a lot not really understanding the meaning of anything.
