What would the world be without villains? What would become of all of the people who are very heroic, but have no way to prove it? That is where villains come in. A villain is a malicious person who is involved in or devoted to wickedness Ursula from Disney's The Little Mermaid is a villain, but the Sirens from Homer’s Odyssey exhibit more evilness by tricking people, killing people, and being clever.

As humans, we all have the tendency to shape and mold ourselves so that we posses the qualities that will make us likeable. This likability is something that is more needed than it is wanted, a cover to help aid the facade that we have all adapted, a facade that hides the dark carnal urges that many of us posses deep within ourselves. It is an ingrained habit for us to hide them away, and instead be kind-hearted individuals with the purest intentions. When we encounter someone with the kinds of qualities that we are predisposed to despise, we cannot seem to look away. A part of ourselves is enraptured by the negativity that some people seem to emanate, they embody the parts of ourselves that we possess, but are groomed to hate. Once presented with a movie or show with a distinctly obvious hero/villain, we are entertained, but that 's typically the extent of our feelings towards them because of how unrelatable they are. This is why anti heroes are so appealing to the public. They are neither fully good nor fully bad, they represent us as human beings, flaws and all. It is more than that though, they take the paths that we wish we had the courage to take. Anti heroes make it possible for us to second hand experience a life that we would not dare to live.

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.

The best villain I know would have to be Darth Vader from Star Wars. He kept on trying to kill Luke Skywalker and Obi-wan-kenobi. He tried so hard to fight for the droids they had and so he could get Princess Leia. He is also mysterious he will not show his face until the end and it makes me and other people think what his face looks like. He also kept it a secret that Darth Vader was Luke’s father “ I am your Father.”

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.

In the essay “Everything Burns: the Psychology & Philosophy of The Joker” Anthony Nowicke explains to the reader why the Joker is such a popular villain. He explains the philosophical ideas that the Joker himself believes in and also the psychological reason why he is so appealing to people.

There is always conflict in a story. Without a villain, there is no reason for a character to change or develop. Some examples of villains are Darth Vader from Star Wars, Lord Voldemort from Harry Potter, and The Joker. These are commonly known villains from movies and books. They play an important role in the plot, each with unique stories and actions.

A villain needs to always be mean to people or hold something to them or do a thing that could ruin their life. Like how he got back at Katniss for killing Prim. His importance to the story is to make it have spense to it. To wonder what is going to happen next or see what they do.

In Frankenstein by Mary Shelly, it is hard to differentiate who is the hero and who is the villain. In countless stories, it is almost automatically quite easy to distinguish the characteristics between the hero and the villain. This is not the case in Mary Shelly’s novel Frankenstein. In the novel, we meet Victor Frankenstein and his science experiment gone rogue, the Creature. At first glance into the novel, many people would debate that the Creature is, in fact, the villain because he had maliciously murdered Victor Frankenstein's family and closest friends. Of course anyone with a properly functioning brain would say that the Creature is the bad guy but what some people do not take into consideration is the Creature's background,

Anti-heroes do not solely exist in the fictional world. There are people in the real world, everyday who fit the anti-hero description. They are… the Mob. In ancient times loyalty was purest form of respect. It was a way of life. One was loyal to his or her family, govern, king, and God. Hand in hand with loyalty, comes the right to revenge. The Mob is one of the few “societies” that has reserved that tradition. For example: when a family member is assassinated, it is not only the right, but also the duty of the surviving family to avenge that death. This loyalty to one’s own, coupled with the fierce determination to protect them, are incredibly heroic qualities. Organized crime families are oohed and ahhed by the press and pop culture, and have their own fans. While these people are not ideal role models, they possess heroic qualities worthy of aspiration.

In Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets, while dueling Draco Malfoy, Harry speaks in Parseltongue without being aware of it. This causes everyone to think he is the heir of Slytherin, thus prompting them to fear him. Being able to see into Voldemort's mind allows Harry to see that Voldemort has the Elder Wand in Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 1. Later, it lets him see where Voldemort is hiding his pet snake, Nagini, who is also a horcrux in Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2. In the majority of stories, the protagonist is significantly different from the many other characters in the novel, whether it be mentally or physically; Harry Potter is no exception.
