We all hate those horrid mean characters that create problems for our favourite characters. They have dark hearts, evil intentions, and one can't simply help but despise their actions. But think of a story... without a villain. If there's no bad guy, wouldn't the story just be a merry fairy tale with no problems at all? Imagine the classic story Snow White without the Evil Queen. (She has no name.) It would be all about her great life, how she lives happily in the castle, marries the prince and continues living a happy life. After all, it's only a happy ending after there has been a problem. But there's more. A true villain is someone who acts in such a way that you shudder when you think of them. Someone who can act that good, to make their audience hate their character, is truly gifted. Think about the actor that played Voldemort in Harry Potter. His acting was great, and he really brought the character to life, from the way he talks to the way he deviously plots to kill Harry. Now let's be honest. Who really likes a goody-two-shoes? Who will always do the right thing, never hurt someone's feelings, always follow the rules. I'm not saying that all this is a bad thing. But don't you like characters who are unpredictable, crazy and scary? Maybe not everyone agrees, but the Joker, from Batman? He is the most exciting person. "One minute he's standing right next to you laughing at what you're writing and the next he could stab you in the face." And you know that villains are so much smarter and trickier and craftier than the heroes. Jafar from Aladdin was a great sorcerer, had the most amazing plans, and tricked Aladdin like it was taking candy from a baby. Now Aladdin couldn't even steal an apple. With his monkey. So that's my opinion on villains. I'm not saying I admire them, because villains aren't called that for no reason. But you don't always have to hate them. Look at their good side. You know, there always is a little bit of good in everyone. :) Note: Sorry, if I used examples that you haven't watched or heard about.
