Understanding Motives

Write about the backstory of your villain and the motivations that drive their actions.

Every villain has a beginning, has reasons that have shaped them into the character they are. Explore their past, their hurts, their aspirations, and how these elements have steered them onto the path of antagonism. This prompt pushes writers to craft depth and complexity in villainous characters, driving them from mere representations of evil to individuals with histories and emotions.
