Alternate Personalities: Not Necessarily Villains

Novels like Freida McFadden’s The Housemaid and Robert Louis Stevenson’s Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde may make it look like having alternate personalities makes someone a villain. But for one example of a novel in which that is not true, search “Ambassadors” (by Henry James) in this blog.

Comment: Novelists with self-awareness of their own, creative version of multiple personality—what I call “multiple personality trait”—should realize that having alternate personalities does not necessarily make one a villain.
