cases, villains are perceived as bad people; the ones who break laws and are dangerous to society. Based on their marvelous personality and attractive image, their villainy isn’t shown to society—it is blinded by their likable characteristics. In Klosterman’s essay “Villains Who Are Not Villains,” he articulates the viewpoints society has on bad people who express charisma and charm. He begins this essay by explaining why citizens who commit certain crimes are sometimes not considered villains. Then
hero, a fairy tale without a villain will create an ineffective plot. The negligence of the villain’s role/importance demonstrates our society’s ethics. The judgemental views of society, creates an impression that good will always emerge as the victors. This is caused by the fact that individuals within society has a different criteria of deciding what is “good” and what is “evil”. As a result their minds are structured through pure bias. The so called “heroes” or “villains” are all just dependent on
n all good works of fiction and cinematography there is an unavoidable villain. Without an antagonist a story has no plot, thus making it boring for the audience. One perfect example of a villain is Jigsaw from the movie series Saw whose horrifying appearance and sinister schemes make him the ideal villain. At first Jigsaw is portrayed as a ventriloquist doll with an off white pigment, eyes as red as blood, and despite his small figure, the fear he installs in us is large. He approaches the survivors
To most people the joker is just a villain but to me he's the best villain. I believe he's the best because he doesn't have a big suit of armor or any stupid super powers he's just a crazy goon with guns and other goons who ride for him. the joker is a wicked looking villain, the way he dresses, the way he paints his face, and his tattoos and scars on his body. its funny the way he takes care of his business in situations, I guess its why he's called the joker. the joker has a wicked appearance
A villain is a character whose evil actions or motives are important to the plot. Villains can do multiple things for power like manipulation and temptations to get what they want.

Temptation and manipulation are two ways the villain (Satan)
embodies the villains as the ideologies of prohibiting those who are not the same race to become a part of their society, or world.

In the journey to discover her place in society, she must encounter the fear and anxiety wanting to be treated equally and wanting to have equal power amongst the Other worlds’ beings.

Villains are an interesting bunch in that the same person can be seen as both minor/major, or helpful/dangerous. I guess the same could be said about heroes though. Chuck Klosterman, a best selling author, wrote an essay named “Electric Funeral,” a chapter of I Wear A Black Hat…, which details villains of today-different types of technocrats. The three he mainly focuses on are Perez Hilton, Kim Dotcom, and Julian Assange, who each vary greatly on the spectrum of their acts. Hilton is a blogger who
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. To start with, one popular villain would be Darth Vader. He is a villain in the Star Wars series and is also known as Anakin Skywalker. Initially
What is a villain? Is it a childhood bully, a strict teacher, an ex-boyfriend, or perhaps a soldier on the other side of the trench? In the history of the world, nobody has done anything just because they want to make the world worse. Yes, even Hitler thought he was doing the right thing when he was murdering millions of people for characteristics they could not help but have. So, with this in mind, why is Javert any different from us? In Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables, Inspector Javert is the antagonist
The role of a villain is central in the plot of many stories. However, an often overlooked aspect of the villain is that they are not just evil. While some villains, particularly flat ones, may be purely black or white, human villains are much more nuanced. Instead, the villains tend to be a shade of grey, with justifications for their actions which could be determined by some to be reasonable. Sometimes such a villain thinks that he or she is helping others. In Till We Have Faces by C.S. Lewis,
