Shifting Sympathies

Write a story where the antagonist is initially reviled, but as the story progresses, the reader’s sympathies shift towards them.

Creating compelling characters is crucial in a drama story and causing internal conflict in your readers can make a story unforgettable. With this prompt, the writers are encouraged to explore complex emotional dimensions, moral relativity, and changing loyalties in their narratives where initially reviled characters reveal their redeeming traits or justifications.
