Villain

A hero and a villain are two of the characters that appear in almost every movie we see. On one hand, I see a hero as a being that fights against evil to see more good happening in the world. On the other hand, a villain for me is a person who does evil to the world because its heart is filled with pure evil. In the poem Beowulf and the book Grendel, both of these characters are described differently, using both hero and villain features. In the two pieces of literature Grendel and Beowulf are…

The best villain I know is from one of my favorite books, “Horses of the Dawn”. The villain in this story is the ship owners because they abused the horses and the ones that were useless they threw out at sea. This really isn’t my favorite villain, but this was the only one I could think of. Before you go ranting about how I’m a so called animal hater. I’m not because I actually love animals for their true potential, not as slaves held captive. The story all started when a horse was having a…

Villains are evil ,but necessary. Good and bad co-exist in the world.The value of one cannot be realized without the presence of the other.In fairy tales ,villains serve a number of purposes apart from providing substance to the story. Usually, the evil characters are the antagonists who build against the protagonists that create a conflict in the story that actually help bring out the dynamics of heroism and character development in the protagonist.The protagonist doesn’t always…

The Villain Must Perish Harry Potter must kill Voldemort. Batman must fight the Joker. Luke Skywalker must defeat Darth Vader. The villain must be defeated by the hero. Every story from a tragic romance to a horrific adventure has a villain. Someone we are rooting against; someone we want destroyed. If the villain does not perish, we do not find the ending satisfactory. The hero must be triumphant and the villain must be obliterated. Every story must be this way, and consequently, our lives must…

In literature, villains are viewed as those who cause mischief amongst the hero and population. The person who goes out of their way to ensure that trouble comes upon everyone or a single person throughout the story. In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, it seems obvious that the monster is the villain in the novel. Take a closer looks though, and you will see that the villain is the man you’d least expect. Before we go into depths about who the true villain, let's look at the monster that was created…

Stereotypical villains are a concoction of selfishness, insensitiveness, and manipulativeness. Shakespeare creates his villains with a predetermined requirement of characteristics. His villains are outsiders within their society of whom are mistreated within their past. His evil characters have ambitions and desires, mainly bred from resentment, anger, bitterness, or pain. Throughout King Lear, Edmund’s villainous, analytical mind allows him to set up disputes between characters, while…

Have you ever watched a movie and wondered where the villain came from? Truthfully the answer is probably no, however it is still a somewhat interesting topic. Is there one specific place that villains should come from? Should it vary? I personally think it should vary but in order to make the best villains they should be from one of three countries. The three countries that create the best villains are North Korea, Germany, and Russia. Odds are you’ve seen multiple movies where the antagonist…

Villains are by no means the nicest kind of character, but can be considered without a doubt that if a villain wasn't evil, then there wouldn't be much of a story to tell! Some villains have personalities that can make them easy to relate to, but what villain can do such a thing? Certainly not Bill Cipher from the TV series Gravity Falls by Alex Hirsch, whose insanely evil, manipulative, and entertaining personality makes him such a dangerous foe? Bill is a Dream-Demon that has fun…

Villains and antagonists often prove to be some of the most interesting characters in literature and fiction. Examining their motives can provide greater understanding of the way individuals think as well as highlighting flaws in society or in cultural values. In act one scene three of Much Ado about Nothing, Shakespeare introduces Don John as the play’s antagonist through foreshadowing, divulges vital information to understand his character, evokes compassion for Don John from the audience, and…
