Justifying the Deeds

Write a scene where your villain rationalizes their malevolent acts.

Villains don’t perceive themselves as evil. They have a twisted sense of justice, or perceive their actions as necessary for a perceived greater good. Explore their justification, portrayal of morality, and make readers question their initial bias. Deep dives into their mindset may create discomfort, but it stirs thought, conversation, and emphasizes their realistic portrayal.
