“Give your antagonist a virtue. A fully evil villain is boring and two-dimensional. Everyone has at least one admirable trait, such as loyalty, honesty, or bravery. In fact, make your villain likable in some way.”

Well I thought about this very deeply . My villain is kind in a sorta fake way. Still it’s kindness, which gives him his humanity. So making him more likable in a odd way .

Thanks for your comment, Taylor. Sounds like a nice approach to make your villas more human. I had a supervisor (aka, villain – lol) I did not like. We were oil and water. Yet, this guy and his wife adopted two children and were caring parents. Fiction and reality – the lines are often blurred. Have a great day. Ray
That’s so true. 🙂

Thanks for your kind comment, Taylor. Some years ago a supervisor called me into his office. He didn’t ask me to sit. I thought I was in big trouble. He looked at me and said, “You’ve got great instincts, trust them.” I have from that day forward. Shine on. Ray
