What villain actually had a good point?
Why do you think there is a villain in almost every story?
Because without one, the story would not only be boring, but also unrealistic.
There is a bad apple everywhere in life, and real life is such a big story.
So…this person who stirs problems, spread lies, wounds others, behaves this way mainly for their own benefit.
After all the hard efforts and plights the villain weaves and plots, they gain no real prize, only a bloated self-satisfaction.
They could do far worse things, of course, but let’s stop at this level.
Do you think a villain has any good point?
A good point for being mean, sneaky, and evil!
Perhaps this good point is possible in fiction, where the writer is the sole weaver of the character. In fiction, the only “good point” a villain can offer is a memorable warning sign — a danger zone marked with a quiet Please Be Careful note.
In real life, things are different. The villain chooses to be a villain, chooses the path of Abel, Scar, and… Voldemort.
There is no good point they can have, or pretend to have.
Is there any good point left after choosing to be the bad apple?
