Humanizing the Monster

Write about a villain who, despite their monstrous actions, possesses a trait that makes them deeply human.

This prompts to create a multi-dimensional villain who is not purely evil, but is driven to malevolence due to personal circumstances, flaws, or desires. Explore their “human” side and weave in themes of sympathy and empathy, painting a picture of a villain that readers could understand, if not agree with. Unpack this dichotomy and explore how it establishes the villain as a relatable character, adding depth to their malevolence.
