Pantomime Villain

A pantomime villain is a character in theatrical performances, especially traditional British pantomimes, who plays the antagonist. Typically exaggerated and easily recognizable, they embody evil or misconduct through dramatic gestures, loud voices, and distinctive costumes, often wearing dark or villainous attire. Their role is to create conflict and challenge the heroes, offering the audience a clear sense of good versus evil. The villain's exaggerated nature adds humor and entertainment, making them memorable figures that drive the story's tension and climax in a lively, engaging manner.
