I remember I watched the Revenge of the Sith for the first time in 2005. I grew up watching the original trilogy with my dad, who has always been a fan of Star Wars. We weren’t overly fond of the prequel series, but he still brought the movie home from Blockbuster and turned it on for all of us to watch. Anakin Skywalker, the protagonist, speaks to his wife for the first time since he turned over to the dark side. “I don’t want to lose you the way I lost my mother. I am becoming more powerful than any Jedi has ever dreamed of, and I’m doing it for you—to protect you…Don’t you see? We don’t have to run away anymore. I have brought peace to the Republic. I am more powerful than the Chancellor. I can overthrow him and together you and I can rule

So, who is the villain-hero? This villain may start out at the beginning of the story as a hero, or he may possess heroic characteristics, such as charisma, or he may have a

Therefore there may never be an exact answer as to why people are who they are, but we can say it's their experiences and how they’re raised. Villains can be hero's and sometimes heroes can be villains. We as people will never truly know for sure. So we come to our last conclusion as to why: People are who they are because of their experiences in their life around

Why are people villains? Is it because of past mistakes, how they were raised or maybe it's in there blood to be a villain? The dictionary defines a villain as a character whose evil actions or motives are important to the plot, but others may define a villain as evil and monstrous simply by examples of the actions of the villain. Two characters are Odysseus, the most villainous in The Odyssey retold by Robin Lister, and Ursula from the film: The Little mermaid directed by Ron Clements and John Musker. When comparing these two villains, it is clear that Ursula is a much greater villain than Odysseus because of her trickery, she’s a liar, and a thief.

A hero is a person who fights for their people. A hero is responsible, admired, and respected while a villain is the opposite: vile, problematic, and disliked; however, many historical characters can be both. One example could be Commodore Matthew Perry- a high ranked officer. Commodore Perry was both a hero and a villain because he had leadership skills and helped the American people, yet manipulated Japan into commerce with the west.

Darth Vader’s characteristics are powerful because he gets things his way done. He is also intelligent by making up new things to get his son on the dark side. Vader is also determined to kill Obi-wan-Kenobi to get his son on the dark side. The importance of him to the story is Vader makes the story full of suspense. He also makes it full of action. when he fights and kills people.

What is a villain? Is it a boulder of hate in a sea of kindness, or a person whose heart and world are filled with darkness? A villain is a person who wants to hurt others or do bad things. The god of the sea, Poseidon from the Odyssey, by Homer and President Snow from the Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins could both be considered villains. President Snow is a greater villain because of his cruelty, selfishness, and him being uncooperative.

Villains do not become malicious from thin air, there is always a reason behind their actions. In the book Day 21 by Kass Morgan, the reader is given more detail on the character Murphy. This character follows no rules and at first has his followers but that quickly changes. Murphy hunts down and in a way forces a 13-year-old girl to commit suicide, and is then banished from the camp. He eventually comes back and tries to kill several people.

Star Wars is series of the fantastic films that depict the political tensions and wars among the representatives of different planets in the distant galaxy. The films include a number of positive heroes and charismatic anti-heroes, such as Darth Vader (Anakin Skywalker) and Kylo Ren (Ben Solo). Both personages have a number of similarities and can be described as the typical Byronic characters. Highly ambitious Anakin Skywalker, who was expected to become a powerful Jedi, has joined the dark side and become a villain. Being inspired by the example of Darth Vader, the son of Han Solo and Leia Organa has decided to follow the path of his grandfather.

He then becomes the apprentice of Palpatine after saving him from Windu, another Jedi. Then, Palpatine issued Order 66 which causes the Clone Troopers to demolish the Jedi. Darth Vader, after he follows Palpatine’s orders, killed the younglings at the Jedi temple. “More than 100 Jedi survived Order 66, and Darth Vader made it his mission to destroy them all.” (Hill 1)

In all cases considered, the villain usually reigns over the hero of the story, and as he may seem fearless, he is a coward hidden within himself. Never is a villain positioned lowly in a story, because the purpose is to have an imbalance between good and evil to show that even when evil is dominant, good still conquers.

The original hero archetype greatly contrasts the modern anti-hero archetype. A hero is someone who displays little to no flaws and is widely liked by the majority. This character presents its storyline with exceptional traits. The anti-hero archetype is completely opposite of the hero archetype. “Unlike the traditional hero who is morally upright and steadfast, the anti-hero usually has a flawed moral character” (Michael). Modern anti-heroes lack in grace, power, and social success (Neimneh). They deal with issues and insecurities such as alcoholism and infidelity (Michael). Anti-heroes make unpleasant moral compromises, in contrast to the desired, in order to reach something. They want to create order where it is impossible and put the protagonist to ‘justice’. Traditional hero characters often succeed when trying to complete their quests, which contrasts the extremely grimm success rate of anti-hero victory. Anti-heroes also do not let their inner thoughts influence their actions while original or traditional heroes seek self-definition (Teleky). Traditional hero characters often succeed when trying to complete their quests, which contrasts the extremely grimm success rate of anti-hero victory. The faultless ways of the hero archetype sets it apart from people in society, making it extremely unrelatable to the mass amount of humans today, allowing the anti-hero archetype to prevail through.
