March 31: Who is your favorite fictional villain?
This is a hard one. I'm not really sure. I tend to almost always have a love/hate relationship with villains in books. I like getting to learn more about them, though I don't usually like what they are doing. I guess I'll go with Lord Voldemort from Harry Potter. This is because I loved getting to learn more about him and his past. This helped me understand his path in life, even if I don't agree with it. It's interesting seeing how he evolved as a person from even before he was born, back with both Merope and Tom Sr. Literally everything that happened in his past affected him and the path he took in life, and though he becomes evil, he once was just a boy who was abandoned as a baby.
I was so close to picking Voldemort, too ... but, I had to go with Snape. Save for Harry, he fooled everyone -- including me --- into thinking he'd reformed. He was one of the most resilient baddies I've come across.
ReplyDeleteSnape is such a good choice! I loved his character and learning about him too. He was so interesting with so many different things about him that are revealed as the series goes on. It was like every time you thought you knew everything you needed to know, something new was revealed and you saw him in another light. He's another favorite of mine!!
