The thing that makes her a villain is because she tricks the merpeople. She makes her schemes easy to fall for. Author Quest extensively explored the role of Ursula when he says “ Ursula exhibits some of the same loyalty to her friends that Ariel has, interestingly enough” (pg1). If they fail she turns them into polyps. Polyps are small plant like animals that sit on the ocean floor. Ursula has a collection of these that stay at the entrance hall of her house.

Some people believe Ursula is a good villain because she is tricky, she figuratively kill people, and she is clever, but she only did most of the evil things to keep Ariel as her prisoner.

When evil stalks it's prey, the unwitting young person, then it becomes unfathomable and treacherous consequences can occur. For instance, one example of a Greek tale that embodies this notion of evil is The Myth of Hades and Persephone. In this Greek mythical tale Hades and his brother Zeus planned with trickery and violently abducted Persephone to go with Hades and be his wife in the underworld. We can see by the quote how the treachery of evil endures in the tale and how the young Persephone felt.
Most stories, movies, and myths have the simple archetype of Good vs. Evil. This particular archetype can often be confusing, because in stories the reader is often lead to believe that something or someone represents good or evil, but it does not. More often than not the evil character is either crazy or was raised wrongly. Evil characters in Good vs. Evil stories are often not truly evil but either mental unstable or not taught right from wrong.
Journey to Villainy There are so many different kinds of villains. There is not just one kind of villain and they are not all bad villains in the beginning like Anakin Skywalker on his journey to become one of the most well known villains, Darth Vader.

Some Individuals are born being a villain with their family not making the right decisions and they become villains because it is the only thing they know and may be good at.
The first one was Maire, in a sense. Although she wasn't fully evil, she was a siren, which meant that she was able to use her voice to make people do things that they wouldn't normally do, which put her in a position of power over Rio. She didn't always use her voice in a way that would harm others, but she rarely used it for good. The other bad guys in the story were Nevio the new minister and the council. They plotted to get rid of Rio's mother Oceana so that Nevio could take over as the minster of Atlantia.
Villains seem to be the most intriguing characters of fairy tales, whether it’s their scary charm or their suspenseful motives. Villains inject many memorable events in tales and they have an interesting way of doing it. “Villains also have more fun than their angsty, conflict-ridden counterpart” Aja Romano writes in an article for The Daily Dot. It surely seems that way, doesn’t it? Villains are usually having fun in their evil ploys all the way until their evil plans are foiled and they get their consequences. Villains have admirable qualities; they awaken the inner wild child in the readers or viewers. They evoke a sense of almost rooting for them at times. Villains always have power as opposed to their counterpart’s kindness and lack of assertiveness and sense of power. Especially in princess fairy tales, the villain usually is the more powerful and assertive character while the heroine is a more sweet and nurturing character and usually lacks the power characteristic. Some may argue against this, what about
In these stories, the villains are "Rumpelstiltskin," "Bluebeard," "The Landlady," and "The Chaser." The Worst Villain In my opinion, the landlady was the worst villain, even though some people might think Bluebeard was worse. Bluebeard only killed his wife when they
There are many people and characters who are villains. Villains usually have cruel and selfish actions. The most commonly known villains are from disney movies. For example, Mother Gothel from Tangled is a villain. Two other villains are Maleficent and Scar from the Lion King.
The antagonists of a story are usually not the ones critically acclaimed. Due to our human inclination it’s fairly relevant that, as readers, more of an emotional attachment is built with the protagonists. However, in spite of that, villains still deserve our attention. From taking a close look at a few villains and the methods in which they manipulate, parallels in strategy are prevalent. A few examples of antagonists that particularly stand out are: Iago from the tragedy Othello written by William Shakespeare, Roger Chillingworth from the novel The Scarlet Letter written by Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Abigail Williams from Arthur Miller’s novel The Crucible, these characters all use isolation to manipulate others throughout the stories.
The antagonist is the most ruthless character of all the characters in the tragedy. She
There are many types of villains. Some of them have worse backstories than others. Some Of them are worse than others. This essay is about 3 villains. They are Sauron,Captain Hook and Adolf Hitler.
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.”
The evil queen from ‘’Snow White’’ is the best villain. Well, she is the best in MY opinion. She is very confident, and has extremely high self-esteem.
The best villain I have ever read about was Sauron from “ Lord of the Rings”. The Dark Lord Sauron, a servant of Morgoth, the Great Enemy, took his master's place after the First Age. Through the story he makes much trouble for the protagonist and creates wars. Sending many enemies and dragons as such to attack the hero’s. Sauron is a nightmare that would do nothing to get the ring’s power.
A reader can notice that the author prefers less conventional type of villain than other authors and he gives a wide variety of villains to his readers. One can find in his stories ugly old witches like baba yaga or evil and mean stepmother like from The Snow White reminding the reader rather of a princess than a witch, and a prince in his stories becomes the evil, not the hero. In The Little Match Girl there is a villain without any magical skills but he has a control over his little daughter, and in The Evil Prince one can read about a villain who has no magic but who at least rules the world. This is how these two differ from the villains in The Snow Queen. In this story both of the villains, The Snow Queen and the hobgoblin, have magical skills.In The Tinderbox there is a magical item but none of the villains has gained it. There are three villains in the story, a witch, a king and a
