Don't forget JEKYLL & HYDE, or SWEENEY TODD!!!!!!!!!!!!

And the assassins in ASSASSINS are not murderers ... they are assassins. Murder is a tawdry little crime; it's born of greed, or lust or liquor. Adulterers and shopkeepers get murdered. But when a President gets killed, when Julius Caesar got killed ... he was assassinated. Updated On: 9/8/04 at 02:14 PM

I don't know if she can qualify as a hero persay, perhaps a tragic hero: Marie Christine.

Let's count down shall we:
Lisette, her maid
Paris, her brother
Someone in New York
Helena, Dante's new wife
Her two sons

All those murders yet we feel for a woman who was so consumed with love for Dante that she lost control and killed those she loved.

Billy and his partner in crime do kill somebody...yet I can't remember who.

There is a murder in bat boy as well...does the Dr not kill Edgar?
In WSS, Bernardo kills Riff which spurs Tony to kill Nardo.
In JCSS, Judas also falls to his death (doesn't he?).
In SFANW during "one more step" the wife falls off the ledge to her death as well.
Edward Hyde kills nearly everyone in J&H. "go to sleep, my tormented love.."


I'll think of others eventually....
