Evil by Circumstance

Create a villain who is reluctantly pushed into evil deeds due to their circumstances. Ponder upon how their environment makes them the villain.

This prompt explores how adversity can mold personalities and impel characters to make choices that are worlds apart from their original nature. It’s an exploration of the pressures and constraints of environment, situations, expectations, and societal values that make an individual who they are. Through this, we seek to examine themes such as societal judgment, personal versus social morality, and the weight of one’s surroundings on their character.
