In Connell's, "The Most Dangerous Game," General Zaroff, a world renowned hunter, kills the smartest prey in the world: humans. On the other hand, Montresor from "The Cask of Amontillado" plays the evil character as he kills Fortunato, a fellow member of a secret organization. But between the two, Zaroff is the more evil character because he kills people for entertainment and feels no remorse for his actions The first way that General Zaroff is a more evil character than Montresor is because of his motives to kill people.…
Both Ms. Strangeworth from “The Possibility of Evil” and Captain Torres from “Lather and Nothing Else” represent the villain archetype; however, Miss Strangeworth better represents it because she enjoys the evil she causes, whereas Captain Torres does not. First of all, the roles of the characters are shown as villains throughout both of the stories. In the case of Miss Strangeworth, it is when she sends her malicious messages to the town without regard for their feelings (Jackson 5). Meanwhile, Captain Torres is revealed as the villain when the barber remembers “...the sight of the mutilated bodies kept me from noticing the man who had directed it all” (Tellez 1) about the captain. The two of them do horrible things to their respective towns; Miss Strangeworth, by sending her…
Montresor and Abner both face consequences at some point in each short story. According to Jamil M. Mustafa, “Montresor seeks revenge for Fortunato’s actions in a bizarre and terrible fashion” this causing Montresor to show how extremely offended he was. Montresor’s consequences are truly based on his sense of guilt, and his worry that the townspeople will not understand. Montresor hopes that the townspeople will be sympathetic after explaining “the thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as best as I could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge” (219). Montresor also seems to have enjoyed his act of confession more than revenge. Abner’s consequences vary from his loss of Sarty’s respect, to the act of his own death. Sarty sees…

“Well, you need the villain. If you don’t have a villain, the good guy can stay home.” Christoph Waltz.Villains are like school, you don’t really like it but you would be nowhere without it.

Secondly, my client’s actions show that he is a socio path. You would be insane if you screamed back at your dying friend, locked and choking in the wall. Any normal person would have saved his or her friend, but Montresor didn’t. It gave him a rush to hear his friend’s cries. In his testimony, Montresor says, “I placed my hand upon the solid fabric at the catacombs and felt satisfied…. I aided, surpassed them in volume and in strength (Page 217)” This statement can be used to prove that Montresor is insane because he is basically saying that he felt happy and relieved by the suffering and death of Fortunato.…

However, the word “evil” has been generalized over the years, after being plastered on so many characters for so long. From the change of times, the situation that causes the word to be introduced into the conversation has changed also. We’ve gone through so many wars, genocides, and…
