There are no villains in literature, anon. I'm not sure why you'd post this topic on this board. Perhaps you'd be more welcome over at /r/books.

Okay, lets change the word villain to "antagonist" There, You happy Anon?

>>9427750
Antagonist and villain are not at all the same thing. But yes, that's better.

Hard to say who my favorite antagonist is, but Heathcliff is definitely up there.

>>9427668
Rodion Romanovich Raskolniko's conscience, because it was the enemy from within who conquered his dark heart and soul. Genius literature OP***

>>9427757
Heathcliff is the protagonist, though

>>9427737
its a fictional story about me and my struggle though NEETdom and video game addition to attain a boyfriend free girl

OP here. Okay I guess a more canonical answer pertaining to literature would be Claude Frollo. No wait . . . Javert. Yeah Javert for sure. What a tragedy

I especially like the Javert from the Liam Neeson Movie

>>9427803
Yeah, I guess it is hard to consider Star Wars literature because the fantasy elements make it less relatable, but Greek mythology is full of fantasy elemetns and that is considered literature so whatever. Palpatine is the epitome of selfactualization and achieving power.

>He's this much of a pleb
Villian is such a pleb term. You can even sympathize with Satan in Paradise lost. He's just an antagonist. The idea of evil just for the sake of evil is retarded.

>>9427744
Where do you save pictures like this? I have a smileybros folder and a cartoon frogs folder BUT THIS STUPID FUCKING PICTURE DEFIES DEFINITION YOU DUMB FAGGOT I HOPE YOU DIE WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME

>>9427771
I'd say that it really depends on the perspective.

>you can't simpitize with villains!

You are a retard you doesn't even knoe what he is talking about. For yours and for others' sake, don't post anymore.

>>9427833
You're starting to sound like someone who is beginning to realize that he doesn't know very much about literature, and instead of admitting his mistakes just flings his fists around in a desperate attempt to validate his shitty opinion. You will never see anyone who is serious about literature use the term villain, because it's retarded.

I seemed to have unexpectedly facilitated a debate on the subject of "villains" in literature. Maybe this would make for a good definitional or evaluative thesis according to stasis theory.

It's not, you pretentious cunt.

Shylock and Malvolio are comic villains, Fuenteovejuna is the villain of its play, Iago and Macbeth are villains.

Before attempting to be knowledgeable about something, try to present examples and arguments. Saying "it's retarded" just makes you look retarded. And, wouldn't you know, it works wonders.

Must be inspired by it.

>>9427668
Ellsworth Toohey, because he almost took over the world by pushing cultural marxism.

>>9428048
