Michael Fassbender as Mr. Rochester in Jane Eyre (2013)

In a post for CrimeReads, Kerry Anne King takes a look at 10 characters who do bad things for good reasons. Whether motivated by tragedy, financial stress, or a sense of justice, you’ll meet a number of characters who do bad because they want to do good. You’ll probably recall Mr. Rochester and Jack Reacher, but the others might also inspire some interesting character changes in your own work.
