Great villains don’t see themselves as villains. This moral blind spot not only enables their bad ass ways but also dangles a nuanced humanity--accessible actions that have us believing in their potential for redemption--that makes them so downright scary.
Great villains have:
- Focus and purpose—they are on a mission, even if we don’t agree with it.
- Leadership and fierce intellect—while there are many lone villains out there, I like those that come as part of a pack.
And my last reblog (I promise), from my other blogging endeavor. Once Thanksgiving is over, I'll be back on schedule. Have a Happy Thanksgiving! all.
