This memoir is without villains. There is a thin line between being a villain and not a villain. I believe that the things that her father did were not right, but it does not make him a villain. I believe that a villain is a person who goes out of their way to be a certain way. A villain is a person who was brought up and raised to be a better person but chooses not to. There was not enough background given to explain why he did the things he did. Everybody does bad things in there life it does not make them a bad person. We saw one perspective of a character and unfortunately did not get to see their side, or another view on things. I am sure that many people think I am a villain but they don’t know me and judge me on one thing I did which may have seemed horrible to them. They do not know my reasons and maybe I was doing it for the better of something or someone else. I do not believe there is a villain in this story however I do believe that he was in the wrong for the choices he made.

I think that the fear of confrontation and her father are two elements or villians. First, the willingness or the strength to put up with something so wrong and bizarre is a challenge and when your father is involved, it's beyond abnormal. Though never heard, incest does occur in this case with slyvia. Over the course of time, i think her talking about it and actually realizing that this happened even possibly into university, she finally builds enough strength or courage to fight this monster living inside her. Not only is the father the villian here but the entire predicament and the effects add in to the depressive state. It's sad to hear about things like these, but if no one talked about their experiences, many more would go unnoticed and without measures being taken.

Is this memoir without villains?
In my opinion, this is a memoir without villains. Readers are not given a look at the other side of the story. I am not trying to say that Sylvia's father is without fault or that his actions were inexcusable. Although what he did to her was wrong, we do not know his reasons. We are not given any information on his life and whether or not he was abused. If there were any villains, I would say that it is Sylvia Fraser's own self. Sylvia faced herself both in the past and the present. She had to confront her past self to be able to let her present self live a complete life.

B. Is this memoir without villains?
I believe that this memoir does consist of Villains. The villain in this memoir would be the father. The father is a villain because of the way and actions he treats and commits on his daughter. This was shown, through incest that he committed to his daughter from rape and molestations through the daughter’s early childhood all the way through to her teenage years. It is even proven in the memoir when Sylvia admits to her father being a villain but she was surprised with these violent actions. Even though what has occurred to Sylvia in the memoir, these violent and brutal actions taught Sylvia a good lesson. From these actions it taught her how to fight for herself and put her past behind her and continue to be able to live with who she is and what her past was.

B. Is this memoir without villains?
No this memoir is not without villains. The villain through a serious of rape, molestation, and incest, victimizes Sylvia Fraser. The villain is clearly the father, who is the person that commits these disturbing acts on his daughter, Sylvia Fraser. In the memoir, after Sylvia describes a period in her life in which the abuse took place (a period lasting until her teenage years), she states, “The joker on my fathers porch has at last delivered. And the true villain of the piece? Not the breadman, as I wrote in Pandora, but the breadwinner with the devil’s hooked hand.” Here, Sylvia clearly states that there is a villain, and not one that she expected before. Although Sylvia’s father took the form of the villain and performed all of those terrible incest acts on her, she still forgave him which lead to her finding the willpower to forgive and live with herself.
