ABOUT THIS SESSION

Not all heroes are purely good, and not all villains are entirely evil. In this session, authors explore the moral gray areas that define heroes and antiheroes, examining how complex motivations and flawed choices shape character and influence readers’ perceptions of right and wrong.
