However, when a big setback occurs, he is forced to introspect. And then Emilia starts dating his best friend which complicates matters for them too much.Įven when Vicious and Emilia meet after 10 years, he acts mean towards her. In fact, he even refuses to admit that what he feels for her is love. He needlessly torments Emilia because he is frustrated at not being able to express his feelings for her. Vicious is a dick all throughout the first half, and I really disliked him for that. The first half is replete with it, but it is considerably toned down in the second half. Vicious (the story and the man) is full of angst. A no-holds-barred bully hell bent on making the female MC’s (main character) life miserable. Vicious is an enemies-turned-lovers story.

This drives Langston to a thirst for education, suspecting that knowledge is the key to a better life. His young life was during a time when the zeitgeist still tolerated a significant majority opinion which protects racism and disenfranchises the poor. That portrait shows an inquisitive and scrupulous child who is growing up as a poor, black child in a community with serious social challenges.
