Imagine that you live in a world where you can make people see you differently than who you actually are and force them to give power. By basic definition, a villain is a cruelly malicious person who is involved in or devoted to wickedness or crime; scoundrel. Two people that have the personality and have earned the title of being a villain are The Sirens, from Homer’s book the Odyssey and Queen Levana, from Marissa Meyer's book Cinder.While the Sirens are excellent villains, it is clear that Queen Levana is the best villain out of those two villains.
It is true that the Sirens are a villain because they are evil, smart, and vengeful, they do these things just to survive and get food to eat. To begin, the Sirens are very evil. According …show more content…
To start off, Queen Levana is very rude. According to the text, Queen Levana wanted her own niece,Cinder, killed because she noticed that when Levana was brainwashing the people of the town Cinder wasn’t getting brainwashed and Levana knew something was different about her. (Meyer).Some people believe that this is not rude because she is just brainwashing people to think better things about her however,she is more of a hero because she is using her brainwashing power to kill people and put her in the position of being their queen. Furthermore, Queen Levana is very vengeful. As shown in the text, Queen Levana put Cinder in the palace jail because at the royal ball Cinder disrupted Levana’s time with Prince Kai and Levana didn’t like that because she wanted to become the queen and take over the palace and Levana told Kai that Cinder was bad and needed to be put away. (Meyer).Although many may think that it is not that vengeful to put a person in jail for messing up it is also true that Levana was brainwashing Kai and was trying to gain more power and Cinder tried to stop her from doing bad,bad,bad things their palace and Cinder got put in prison for no reason. Not to mention, Queen Levana is self-centered.The author states, “Levana had not seen the bodies, but she had seen the bedrooms the next morning, and her first thought was that all that blood would make for a very pretty rouge on her lips” (Meyer).While it is true that being self-centered does not make you a villain it is also true that Levana was only thinking about using the dead people's blood as a lipstick instead of helping the palace that she was staying at.x
In conclusion, people would be right to think that the qualities of the Sirens make them villains, however Queen Levana’s qualities make her a greater villain.
