"The more successful the villain‚ the more successful the picture."- Alfred Hitchcock. In the world of film and literature‚ villains have been used to show the opposite of the hero.

Heroes and Villains in Postmodernism The perfect (maybe) word to write about in Urban Dictionary because everything you say about it is encompassed by it. So if I were to say that Postmodernism is a goat‚ I am of course‚ right (left).

We want to know at exactly what moment in time this character decided to be “evil.” We want to be able to relate to the villain because we have realized we can no longer relate to the hero.

The second adds that dimensionality but confuses the reader to the point of not knowing where their sympathies should
