Very interesting post. I am looking forward to replies. A three act play can work with an unsympathetic principle if the viewer can see themselves in that character. Good ole' Freudian-like transference is the critical component. That can be achieved even without the viewer liking or caring about the principle.

Maybe Val Kilmer's turn as John Holmes in Wonderland? Maybe....? By the way, Im looking for intentionally unsympathetic.
