From Villain’s Perspective

Write a well-known movie or TV storyline from the villain’s perspective, humanizing their motives.

Typically the stories we see on film or TV are told from the perspective of the heroes. Imagine flipping this viewpoint and humanizing the so-called villains. In this exercise, strive to paint a nuanced picture of these characters, delving into their motivations, their histories, and why they’ve chosen a path of ‘villainy’. This promotes empathy and challenges the typical good-vs-evil narrative.
