Chapter 11: ...More Than It's Gonna Hurt you: Concerning Violence
  1. Literary Violence goes far beyond it's physical aspect of two people battling it out.
    1. One aspect of this would be in a murder mystery.
      1. We tend to focus more on everything else instead of the murder.
        1. So instead of the murder being a high point, it is instead used to set up the plot and give depth.
          1. For example, in any mystery book the actual murder scene is brief, if even described. Instead whats explaied is the how and why
      2. Even when it IS two or more battling it out, often the actual fight is the least important part
        1. What IS important is the implication of how and why the fight happened.
          1. Take for example Harry Potter
            1. We gather through the series that before being "killed" by Harry, he was nigh unstopable.
              1. But we as readers don't care that he IS out murdering hundreds of innocents, but it's WHY he's able to do so
