Unidimensional Antagonist

Write about a villain who lacks depth, purpose, or individuality.

Many times, authors fail to give their villains a well-rounded personality, reducing them to pure evil entities. This mistake severely limits their characters’ potential. In this writing prompt, you will create a flat, one-dimensional villain and discuss how this lack of complexity affects the overall narrative, the characterization, motive, and story engagement itself. This will prompt a reflection on the importance of strong, complex character development in storytelling.
