Let’s talk villans

When I created my book, I knew from the very start I wanted to humanize the villain in my story. I didn’t want it to be so cut and dry, black and white because no one is entirely bad or good, everyone has a gray area. I wanted to make sure that when I wrote my villain that I made sure that his circumstances led him to where he was. He was taken from his mother as a baby and raised in an abusive, solitary Demanding upbringing and raised to hate so many things. I wanted the reader to sympathize with him, and I wanted my readers to think about what they would do if they knew no better. I also wanted to make sure I added moments where you can tell that he’s being used, but isn’t oblivious to him. To my readers, it’s incredibly obvious, but to be in his shoes , to walk in his life, He’s been so manipulated and twisted he’s blind to it. You will dislike him, but you’ll also understand.
