The Misunderstood Antagonist

Write about a villain who believes they are actually the ‘good guy’ and justify their actions.

This invites an exploration into the perception of good and evil. The villain sees themselves as misunderstood or unappreciated, which adds an intriguing level of complexity to a character often cast as one-dimensional. This can lead to rich exploration of the villain’s motivations, justifications, emotional struggles, and ultimate realization of reality. It encourages introspection and evaluation of societal norms and it promises just enough ambiguity to provoke in-depth philosophical discussions about the nature of morality and perspective.
