A villain is a person that poses a threat to the main character and Minor characters in the story. The villain in Nacho Libre (a fellow luchador champ named Ramses) is what the plot in the story revolves all around. Nacho is trying to raise money for the orphans and buy them some salads or something but Ramses is the person that stands in his way. But if you think about it Ramses weren’t there Nacho can’t win the money. Ramses is a key person in the movie, without Ramses Nacho would just be a sneezing cook at an orphanage with only Incarnasion to talk to and that guy who’s had diarrhea since Easters to make fun of and insult.

In William Shakespeare’s Macbeth, Macbeth is a classic example of a tragic hero who is constantly struggling with his fate. In the opening scene of the play Macbeth receives a prophecy from three witches. They proclaim that he will be the thane of Cawdor. He responds by saying, “By Sinel’s death I know that I am thane of Glamis/ but how of Cawdor”(I, iii, 70-73)? At first, he does not realize to earn this title what he must do, but when he realizes he is taken aback. His bewilderment prefigures his perpetual struggle with his fate. Macbeth also is excessively ambitious which constantly affects him throughout the play. He is too determined to become king and will kill anyone to ensure that this will transpire. Macbeth’s struggle and ambition make him the quintessence of tragic hero.

A tragic hero is said to be doomed from his beginning. A victim of his own ambition and moral weakness, Macbeth decline from a kind, respectable warrior, to a murdering, lying, fiend. It is his obsessive and literal belief in the prophecies that impaired him. The tragedy of Macbeth is of the kind of man he could have been and almost was, but fell short because he overlooked the contradictions in his character and made the fatal mistake of giving in to his ambition.
In conclusion, the witches with their riddle prophecies ignite Macbeth’s vaulting ambition as well as undermining and tempting Macbeth into the regicide of Duncan, upsetting the natural orders of things, on top of that, Lady Macbeth manipulates Macbeth into committing ‘foul act’, belittling on his manhood and thus play an even more significant role in ruining Macbeth. But ultimately, his vaulting ambition itself indeed is to be the most to blame for his own destruction since a true hero would have upheld their sense of righteousness and honor, but Macbeth as a hero has failed. After all, Shakespeare has successfully craft Macbeth as a fallen hero, by first presenting him as an honorable hero, distracted by external forces, ends up destroying himself from the inside.
“You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” (The Dark Knight, 2008). This quote describes the archetypical tale of the tragic hero. As Aristotle had illustrated in Poetica, the tragic hero is defined as possessing hubris and harmartia, arrogance or a tragic mistake respectively. In Shakespeare’s Macbeth, we follow the titular character as we witness his rise to the throne to then see his immediate downfall. Macbeth stands among Shakespeare’s greatest tragedies, showing the effect of power on an individual. His ultimate demise in the story’s resolution gives insight into what catalyzed the supposed events. Without a doubt, Macbeth had transformed from the hero to eventually the villain.
