Does anyone know of any good stories in which the hero or heroin's life erodes
because of unresolved ambivalence? Russ Fry

I seem to remember one about a certain prince of Denmark done up as a
play in the
late 1500's.

How about "Candide" by Voltaire?

She would be a heroine, though. The question asked about heroin. Of
course, I expect that talking about heroin's life is ambivalent (at
best) by nature. Maybe _Gone With the Wind_ qualifies, if it's
"heroine" after all.

Recently, a script from rzed arrived, in which they said:

: course, I expect that talking about heroin's life is ambivalent (at

... Heroin is a drug, unless I"m missing a terribly subtle joke on your
part.

Either Cunegonde (the 'heroine' in Candide) or Candide (the protagonist,
if not necessarily hero) would qualify for the requirements.

Sometimes I type faster than I read and read what I thought I typed. Heroine is
correct. Russ Fry
