Sequels
Choose a minor character from a well known novel, story, or play, who
intrigues you. Then, write a story from the point of view of that character,
showing new dimensions to a seemingly flat, provisional character. For
example, Tom Stoppard wrote the play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern
are Dead based on minor characters from Hamlet. Salman Rushdie
also wrote from the perspective of a minor character from Hamlet: Yorick,
the skull. John Gardner wrote an entire novel from the perspective of Grendel,
the monster from the epic Saxon poem, Beowulf.
