If I were to choose between being a hero or a villain I could not simply make a choice. While many can say without question that they would choose hero because either they feel they are virtuous enough to fit the bill or they feel this way because it is the role that we are taught from a young age is the right way to be, I can not make that that choice so easily. The same goes for a villain, while I feel I may not be evil and society has shaped me against the idea, I do not think it is fair to say that myself, or any person is all good or bad. Deciding whether or not to be principled is an impossible decision for any one person to make. As civilized people, we all strive to be the best person we can be, given our unique and individual

Odysseus and Thomas Jefferson: Looking into History to Define What a Hero is Heroes used to be considered people who held great power and always came out on top no matter how high the odds were stacked against them. Today we are more critical of the people we look up to, which I believe to be a good thing. We now realize that the people we consider heroes must be good people, who even though they have flaws, try their hardest to do good for the world. Another interesting question is what it means to be a bad person. Is a bad person someone who is inherently bad?

A villain is the same way. Without immorality, the villain has no substance to make him great. Without self-centeredness, the villain cannot rise to be the greatest villain he can be. Without cowardice, the base for a villain, the villain, is no villain at all. Edward Bloor, the author of Tangerine, makes Erik Fisher, from the recipe for a perfect villain.

Society wants to understand its heroes and their motivations; the ones who are more “human” tend to be more popular and possibly even beloved. Making a mistake out of love is understandable to most people but making a decision to cause terror and compliance is not very relatable.

One may assume that the distinction between hero and villain would be obvious, right? At what point does an individual cross the line into the dark realm of villainy? During the American Industrial Revolution, icons rose to power and wealth through the monopolization of certain industries and at the cost of the well being of their laborers. Some consider these powerful men to have robbed their workers to make maximum profit. However, without these entrepreneurs pushing American industry forward, the country’s advancements may have lagged behind other developed nations of the period.

A hero is a person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements or noble qualities (Hero). A Villain is a person who has evil actions or motives to harm people (Villain). In my opinion, a hero is usually the person in the story that everyone likes or looks to for help and the villain is the misunderstood or worst person in a situation. As humans we can be portrayed as a hero or villain when diverse situations occur. In August Wilson’s play, “Fences” Troy Maxson’s past, present and future caused significant traits of being called a hero and a villain in segments throughout the play.

A super-villain is the antithesis to the morals of a superhero: where a super-villain is weak, selfish, and gluttonous, a superhero is strong, altruistic and charitable. Yet, while a superhero does his duty of saving people out of what he deems is expected of him, a super-villain's motivation comes from himself, not others. He drives himself not because of what he is told to do, but rather from his own ambition; if he wants something done, it is done through grueling work and dedication (even though it may not be for the most benevolent of reasons). I do not believe that a super-villain is portrayed as a weak individual with little in the way of tactical sense or drive. An example of this is Lex Luthor, a major super-villain in the

Alan Moore brings forth a morally ambivalent protagonist in V for Vendetta, wherein a mysterious hero by the name of V exhibits moral vigilantism to combat the bigoted and totalitarian government that has overtaken London. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, a hero is a “person admired for achievements and noble qualities” or “one who shows great courage,” a definition redolent of V’s valiant actions to overthrow the oppressive Norsefire regime, which serves as the villain that “opposes the hero.” To achieve his means of freeing society from the villain Norsefire’s tyranny, V makes a series of ethically equivocal decisions, including murder, torture, and revenge. However, despite utilizing violence in his endeavors, V is indeed a hero due to his vigilantism opposing corruption and recalcitrant actions responding to Norsefire’s breach of societal obligation in properly administering a justice system. Moore’s characterization of authoritative figures within Norsefire advocates their role as villains due to their immoral motivations behind being officials; V’s opposition and movement to end their reign brings him forth as a hero and insurgent of society.
