Worst infuriating and maddening injustices perpetrated on historical and fictional characters?
Hi,
Im trying to compile a list of the most vexatious and exasperating injustices ever done to an historical or fictional character,
For example, if you could avenge some of your favorite and dearest fictional/historical characters who would they be. Here's a couple of examples of whom I would exact revenge upon and why,
Eve, you know damn well why
Paris for seducing a married woman and starting a War, yes Helen has it coming as well
Abigail for making up all em lies that started the witch hunt in Salem
Delilah for betraying Samson
The gallery owners who made Van Gogh feel worhless
The editors who made Poe feel worthless
Prince Yusupov for poisoning Rasputin
The Rose for being such a ***** to the little prince
The girl that snobs the Rose made red by the nightingale
The rich miller for exploiting Hans
Ahab for leading all those sailors to their watery grave
The Roman soldier who killed Arquimedes
Zeus for inflicting horrible punishments on cool guys like Prometheus
Sylvia Plaths cheating husband
Edison for what he did to Tesla
Surely you get the Gist of the question
What other famous wronged characters do you think deserve to be properly avenged?

1 AnswerOtros - Estados Unidos8 years agoLooking for a book about the brief encounters of historical figures?
I saw this book in a book store some 10 years ago and i cant remember its title. Basically is a short book about the encounters of famous figures, like a famous poet having coffee with a famous politician, or a famous painter meeting sigmund freud, etc, each encounter had an illustration.

Es un libro que tuve en las manos en una librería hace algunos años, pero no recuerdo el título, básicamente es un libro que narra varios encuentros entre figuras famosas o históricas, por ejemplo Freud con un escritor famoso o Óscar Wilde con un pintor famoso, etc, el libro narraba el encuentro en una página y este encuentro era ilustrado por un dibujo en otra página.
1 AnswerLibros y Autores8 years agoWhat question can a common miner ask a guy who is trying to pass himself as a mining engineer?
Hi,
Im working on a screenplay in wich there's a scene where a miner wants to expose a character who claims he's a mining engineer, but is'nt.
the person asking the question is just a miner. I am sure that miner probably knows a lot about mining engineering. He may not have all the technical background but he has the knowledge. So what question or questions can the miner ask the liar to expose him?
Precisely, thats the gist of my problem in writing the scene convincingly, you see im no miner and certainly no engineer, i have researched the subject as much as i can online, but I have'nt found a precise question a miner can ask somebody he suspects of lying about being a mining engineer, perhaps I should rephrase my question and be more specific, and hope I find either a miner or a mining engineer that reads my post...or as a last resource try to contact one of this guys personally, but that will be tough, since there is no mining activity where I live.
Any how , thank you in advance.
1 AnswerEngineering9 years agoWhat one question can i ask a guy who claims he's an engineer but is'nt.?
Hi,
Im working on a screenplay in wich there's a scene where a guy who's pretending to be a mining engineer is asked a couple of questions that point out he is lying about being an engineer.
What could those questions be?
Please bare in mind that the person asking the question is not an engineer either, in my play he's just a miner.
Thanks in advance.
