Shadow Hero’s Journey

Write about a villain who believes they’re the hero of the story.

This prompt invites you to explore moral gray areas, examining the powerful force of perspective. Often in stories, villains view themselves as the hero in their own narrative. This creates compelling, layered characters with depth and nuance. In your exploration, delve into the story from the villain’s point of view. What justifications do they make for their actions? How does their past shape their present motivations and future goals?
