RE: What Makes a Great Villain in Fiction?

in #fiction7 years ago (edited)

I read a lot and when you have to rely on a bunch of words to create a bigger picture – this issue is even larger. I simply hate it when the characters are just cardboards. If you ask me we are both depending on situation and not solely on attitude.

Hypothetically you and me walk down the path and see a cat tucked in a bag drowning. Hypothetically you don’t really care for cats or care but not enough to jump in. I (the crazy cat lady) wouldn’t probably think twice. In this case I might be the hero and you the villain? Maybe you are just too scared of water to jump in? Now … put me on the sun for about 3h. I’ll show u what a bitch is to kingdom come. :) My sister is a gentle woman, but let her go hungry for some time and you will lose your arm at the end.

Think we all have a few ticks that can drive us to become a villain. Mostly we can all be heroes while our bellies are full … I solve all my issues more or less kindly and via sympathy card. My friend prefers the more aggressive approach. She wears a different label then I do. It is not a nice label. But then again …. Leave us two in the desert for 2 days. I will be anything but kind or sympathetic. :)

A tip I got when I was younger … you wanna know what u made of? Take the basic human needs away (water, food, sleep, etc.) and you will find out who you are. At the end we all villains chained by morals to be heroes. :)
As goes for villains in general….I find the ones with mental disorders the most fascinating. :>
