https://padlet.com/pauliale000/766wavrp2fm1 Essential Question: Is a villain a hero in accordance to his or her own morality and their own perspective? en-us 2017-10-20 04:08:40 UTC 2017-10-24 04:41:26 UTC hello@padlet.com lacanjan000 https://padlet.com/pauliale000/766wavrp2fm1/wish/199007814 Yes, a villain is a hero in accordance to his or her own morality and perspective. To a villain, their evil plans are for the greater good of humanity, regardless of the fact that they may be killing hundreds or thousands of people. The idea that the ends justify the means applies to a villainous situation. This can be seen when Grendel justifies his horrendous actions by explaining that, in his opinion, it was his duty to be a monster and terrorize society. Grendel viewed himself as a hero, despite killing Danes for twelve years, solely because of the fact that he fulfilled his societal role in accordance with expectations. To the villain, he or she is a hero in their own right.]]> 2017-10-20 11:48:05 UTC https://padlet.com/pauliale000/766wavrp2fm1/wish/199007814 hillhan000 https://padlet.com/pauliale000/766wavrp2fm1/wish/199026929 With the exception of cartoon villains, most true evil-doers believe that they are doing what is right. In their minds, the hero deserves whatever terrible fate befalls him, as does anyone else who gets in the villain's way. The villain is so blinded by anger and bitterness, that the consequences of their actions no longer matter to them, and the destruction they leave behind is what often leads them to be viewed as villain. ]]> 2017-10-20 12:49:59 UTC https://padlet.com/pauliale000/766wavrp2fm1/wish/199026929 conwaeve000 https://padlet.com/pauliale000/766wavrp2fm1/wish/199072359 Yes, a villain does see himself as the hero whenever he tries to accomplish something. To him, the good and bad in morals are the opposite of heroes': They believe that in destroying things and killing people that they are acting for their best interest. That attitude can be applied to everyone, not just villains. If one acts upon something that is morally correct to them, they believe that they did the right thing. Because morals are subjective, everyone can see themselves as a hero.

For example, The Joker does not believe that his actions are good, he knows they are evil, however he enjoys the act and the fight with Batman that always follows one of his criminal plans, so he wants to be evil to get to those fights. However, there are also characters that do believe they are good, like Magneto, who truly believes that the best course for humanity is for humans to make way for mutants and allow then new evolution of humanity to thrive.]]> 2017-10-20 14:24:40 UTC https://padlet.com/pauliale000/766wavrp2fm1/wish/199073212 hernaeve000 https://padlet.com/pauliale000/766wavrp2fm1/wish/199207699 Yes, a villain does see himself as a hero. To a villain, the evil plans that they created are meant to protect the humanity, even though they knows that they would be killing hundreds of people. So, this shows that they believe that they are doing something good for the people and themselves. For example, Grendel was aware about his duty as a monster and to destroy the society. But, he viewed himself as a hero, who will "save and change" the meanlessing world into the world that is significance. To the villain or bad guy, they are a hero in their own eyes. ]]> 2017-10-20 20:17:10 UTC https://padlet.com/pauliale000/766wavrp2fm1/wish/199207699 mussalil000 https://padlet.com/pauliale000/766wavrp2fm1/wish/199848963 Yes, a villain in his own perspective sees himself as a hero. Typically, villains have become "evil" because of some kind of wrongdoing taken towards them. In response to this wrongdoing, they plan their "revenge" in which they believe they are righting the wrongdoing. They, in their own eyes, see what they are doing as the right thing to do and they truly believe it will make the world a better place. Additionally, villains, in our perspective are evil and the heroes are good, but from the villains perspective, the hero is the bad guy and the villain is the good guy. This dilemma is seen in Grendel when as a child Grendel was attacked by Hrothgar with an ax, and as a result, Grendel gets back at him by attacking his kingdom. Grendel thinks what he is doing is right because of all the things Hrothgar has done wrong, and he sees Hrothgar as the villain.
