A villain's characteristics are being the bad person in the story or the one that always gets in trouble. A villain is usually the bad guy that no one likes. That is what really makes a book good is the antagonist. I think the best villain I know is the wicked witch of the west because she is always rude and hateful. The wicked witch of the west is the antagonist in the book and movie because she is the one who is rude and messing things up. The book and movie wouldn’t have been the same without her in it. She puts fighting and disagreeing in the movie and book. That is what makes the plot of the story. Dorothy found a pair of red slippers. The wicked witch of the west tried taking her slippers. They fought and fought. Everyone tried to stop the antagonist, the wicked witch of the west, before she stole the slippers. And finally in the end the wicked witch of the west melted away. …show more content…
She made the story more interesting and made it more fun to read. She too Dorothy’s slippers and didn’t give them back at the end the witch melted away. I think the wicked witch of the west is a better villain because I like the dramatic ending of how she melts away. I don’t like how the man with the red eyes is mean to the whole family. The man with the red eyes and the wicked witch of the west are the same because they are both the antagonist, mean, and want everything their way. They are different because in the Wizard of Oz they have a happy ending ny defeating the witch but, the man with red eyes is mean and they don’t get past
“The villain of any story is often the most compelling character” –John Hodgman. Hodgman quotes here that often in a story the villain is known to be the most overpowering character. In Arthur Miller’s The Crucible, Judge Danforth, due to his misuse of privilege as a naïve dignitary, is the most villainous character in the play. This creates the tragedy in Salem because his ill-judgement and desire for power leads to the deaths of the accused citizens who in reality are innocent.
Once upon a time, there were four sisters. Glinda, but you may know her as the Good Witch of the South, Elphaba, or the Wicked Witch of the West, Nessarose, or the Wicked Witch of the East, and Locasta, or the Good Witch of the North. Out of all the sisters, Glinda and Locasta were the favorites. Their mother gave them all the attention, and gifts. There was never anything left for poor Elphaba and Nessarose. Besides being the favorites, Glinda and Locasta also inherited the good looks, brains and talent. Whenever it came to magic, the Glinda and Locasta always outdid Nessarose and Elphaba.
In every protagonist, there is an antagonist, since, without it, there is no story. The readers may despise the villains terribly and may not want them to exist. However, everyone can concur that pronounced villains are what makes the stories interesting; they are what makes the stories come alive. "But," people may wonder, "what makes a villain considerable?" One example is Jafar from the Disney movie Aladdin, whose wicked behavior, intimidating appearance, and contradictory to the hero produces him as the epitome of a great villain.
The White Witch is the most evil person in Narnia. “The White Witch is pure evil and tries to kill everyone who stands in her way of being queen of Narnia” (Persson 6). Here the reader is witnessing a figure that is truly evil and just wants to rule Narnia; so it can be hers, and so she
Chris Colfer says “ a villain is a victim whose story hasn't been told yet.” When the word villain comes to mind people always assume the worst, that the character is cold, evil, and manipulative. An audience will not except that villains were not always evil, something or someone made them that way. Abigail Williams the antagonist of Arthur Miller’s The Crucible and Shylock the antagonist of Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice both fall prey to this accusation. Abigail and Shylock are both debatable villains because they both suffered violent pasts and were victims of their societies.
Glinda the Good Witch directs Dorothy to the yellow brick road, explaining that it will lead her to the one person who can get her back home to Kansas. Her journey begins amidst cheers and song, as she skips down the Yellow Brick Road she could not see or possibly anticipate all the test and trails that will be encountered along the way…and it did not take long for the Wicked Witch of the West to rear her ugly green face!
It is no secret that every vigorous story needs it's own villain. Well, there has been no villain more wicked and superior than Ursula. Ursula is found in the story "The Little Mermaid." This fiction story would not have a backbone without Ursula and her evil appearances, personality, and abilities. There are many things that make a good villain, but I'd have to say that Ursula from the sea has the best villainous qualities.
The Joker, Sauron, Plankton, Lord Voldemort, Kronos, Shego, and Hades are all very well-known villains in today’s world (at least in the U.S.). But, what makes them villains? A villain is made out of who the person is and what he or she does with his/her life. A villain is a person who is evil, hates people, gets even/gets revenge, is conniving and/or sneaky, a person who is manipulative, and a person who can (and does) keep up a false reputation. The character Iago, the main antagonist of William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Othello: The Moor of Venice definitely qualifies as a villain under these circumstances because he is manipulative, conniving, and keeps up a false reputation (that he’s honest and trustworthy).
In many cases, the villain of a story is the malevolent character that actively complicates the life of the protagonist. But in some cases, the villain ruins the life of the protagonist in the background by sucking the protagonist dry of hope. Zenobia Pierce Frome from Edith Wharton's novel, Ethan Frome, is the passive villain. She ruins Ethan's life and shows her evil side by neglecting Ethan, complicating his life, and taking away everything Ethan holds dear.
There are many villains in the world. Whether it is a comic book villain to a movie villain, villains have been around for a long time. Magneto is the toughest villain in the series X-Men. Lex Luthor is none other than Superman’s arch-nemesis. Norman Osborn, a.k.a. the Green Goblin, is Spider Man's arch-enemy. Each one of these villains have completely different origin stories. Although they have different backgrounds they are all evildoers.
In all, Lady Macbeth is evil, she put her husband down and shoved him around, tore out her innocence and swore to do devilish things, and there’s no greater evil in Macbeth, the play by William Shakespeare, than Lady Macbeth. Lady Macbeth’s mind may be prone to evil, but she was not corrupt, she was just evil from the
Throughout Macbeth the reader is conflicted as to who the real villain in the play is; some say it would be Macbeth himself, others say it would be his wife and still others would say that it would be the witches who were at fault for the downfall for the hero that was Macbeth. I, however, believe that had it not been Lady Macbeth pushing Macbeth Macbeths snowball into tyranny and evil would have never started, his downfall would never had begun.
Wicked, the Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the East is a fantasy book by Gregory Maguire. It follows the life of the Wicked Witch, the character from the Wizard of Oz, from her birth to her death, or her pseudo-death. It also explores the question the nature of good and evil.
I think he is also the antagonist though because he is also the one who created the problem and murdered. Lady Macbeth or the witches may be considered antagonists because they encourage him to do wrong but when it comes down to it it’s Macbeth’s fault.
In Othello by Shakespeare and To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, there happens to be a villain everybody loves to hate. In Othello there is Iago and in To Kill a Mockingbird there is Bob Ewell. Harm is insinuated by both men, but who is truly the most malevolent villain? Given these two manipulative characters, Iago is more of a villain.
