Favorite Book Villains

Villain 1: Lord Voldemort
With red eyes, slit nostrils, and a forked tongue, Lord Voldemort is probably one of the most menacing villains. Add killing many people, a vendetta against Harry Potter, starting the First Great War and the Second Great War, Voldemort really isn't nice. In fact, he's even more villainous because Harry Potter offers him a chance to be remorseful and repent, but Voldemort never does. Then he dies.

Villain 2: Heathcliff (no surname)
Tall, dark, handsome... deplorable, scheming, gloomy, probably mad. That sums up Heathcliff. Driven mad by his love for Catherine, and angered when Catherine marries Edgar Linton, Heathcliff spends the rest of his years tormenting Catherine's daughter, Cathy, after Catherine dies giving birth. Then he dies upon the moors.

Villain 3: Smaug
Smaug is a dragon whom Bilbo and his dwarf friends must defeat to save Dale, a mining town beneath the lonely mountain in Middle Earth. Smaug is one of my top villains because he is just plain greedy. Greedy and selfish beyond belief! Not one drop of ungreedy blood in his sparkling, gem encrusted scales. Just fire and smoke and greed and a tendency to burn men, dwarves, and hobbits alive.

What's your favorite villain?!

  1. Quite the collection of villains? Not sure who my favorite villain is. One who comes to mind is General Zaroff in "The Most Dangerous Game". He has wealth and intelligence which are combined with madness - perhaps.
