Villain

A villain is a character in stories, movies, or games who opposes the hero and embodies evil or wrongdoing. This character often creates conflict, challenges the protagonist, and drives the narrative forward. Villains can be complex, with motivations that include desires for power, revenge, or control. They play a crucial role in exploring themes of morality, justice, and the struggle between good and evil. While traditionally seen as purely negative, some modern portrayals present villains with relatable traits or backstories, prompting audiences to empathize with their perspectives.
