This insightful quote is from Carol Burnett when discussing how to portray a true villain. She nailed it!
Villain: {vil-uhn} Noun: A cruelly malicious person who in involved in or devoted to wickedness or crime; scoundrel.
Can you think of anyone who fits this description?
- An incredible narcissist who thinks of no one but himself.
- Lost power and will do or say anything to regain it.
- Has a hugely inflated ego beyond any accomplishments
- Lies incessantly about everything.
- Thinks everyone is plotting against him.
- Has been indicted for crimes and found liable in civil actions.
- Lashes out with adolescent name calling when his 3rd grade intellect fails him.
- Is surrounded by sycophants attempting to gain favor for money or power.
Of course we can all agree there is one man that who checks all the boxes and can easily be identified as a true villain:
Voldemort!
