From Tragedy to Tyranny

Develop a villain who turns evil because of a specific tragic incident in their past.

Draw upon deep emotional complexes and traumas that give rise to villainy. Dive deep into their psyche, detailing their descent into darkness and how they justify their actions. Explore themes such as revenge, loneliness and misunderstood intentions and examine how characters respond to life-altering hardships. Let your villain’s fall from grace remind us all that not every tragedy is redeemed.
