Write a story in which your main character is the villain, but make readers empathize with them.
The complexity of villains, especially those who are not purely evil but ensnared in gray morality, can be compelling story material. Balancing their villainous actions with humanizing attributes, personal motivations, or a tragic backstory, and why they chose or were forced down the path of villainy, can create an engaging narrative. This prompt encourages exploration of complex characters and moral dilemmas.
