Daniel 7:7 "After
this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and
terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and
brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse
from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns."
The amount of violence in
a story will depend on the genre. Even stories based on violence may require that
the crimes happen off-camera.
Fiction like mysteries and
thrillers and television and movies about crimes and crime fighters will have
specific expectations about the amount of violence shown. Many are aiming for a
wide readership or viewers, so the graphic nature will be downplayed.
Other genres, like horror,
graphic novels, or video games, thrive on open violence. Depending on the writer’s
own tastes and skills, we will head towards whichever works for us.
