Jafar From The Disney Film Aladdin

In every protagonist, there is an antagonist, since, without it, there is no story. The readers may despise the villains terribly and may not want them to exist. However, everyone can concur that pronounced villains are what makes the stories interesting; they are what makes the stories come alive. "But," people may wonder, "what makes a villain considerable?" One example is Jafar from the Disney movie Aladdin, whose wicked behavior, intimidating appearance, and contradictory to the hero produces him as the epitome of a great villain.

All of Jafar's actions and personality show just how malevolent he is. He is introduced as the ominous Royal Vizier to Agrabah's Sultan, who craves power over Agrabah. Although he portrays a charming

and respectable facade to the people and Sultan of Agrabah, he conspiratorially manipulates the Sultan through hypnosis, on the sly holds everyone around him with disdain, and is depicted as an amoral psychopath. At the beginning of the movie, Jafar kills Gazeem due to his anger and showed no remorse. In order to take control of the throne, he considers marriage with Jasmine and intended to kill her afterward. He is willing to do whatever it takes to succeed in possessing power over Agrabah and beyond, and won't think twice about destroying those he considers a threat. Full of lies and deceit, he also disguises himself as a beggar and tells Aladdin that he will help him escape. Subsequently, though, he attempts to kill Aladdin multiple times but denies ever doing so. He was abusive towards his own minions, which made them turn against him. And when he turned into a genie, he ruthlessly and sadistically tortures and torments Aladdin, Jasmine, Genie, and the Sultan through humiliation, slavery, physical abuse, and other ways, which he showed pleasure in. These psychopathic and merciless behaviors are a key component of being a truly fearsome villain.

Jafar's mere appearance makes people, maybe even those who have never met him before, cower in fear. His untrustworthy appearance and intimidating exterior give a sinister vibe. He is a tall and awfully slender individual who dresses lavishly. He is always seen carrying around a gold cobra-headed staff with ruby-red eyes, which make him seem more intimidating. He also has a black, twisted goatee and an indistinct mustache. Genie, one of the characters in the movie, even described him as a "tall, dark, sinister, ugly man." Jafar's choices of colors for his clothes are mostly very unilluminated, giving off an unsettling and mysterious aura. His spine-chilling appearance is a very crucial quality for a villain. No one would be afraid of a villain who is normal or average looking.

The greatest factor that makes Jafar frightening is his difference from the hero. His values and morals are the complete opposite of Aladdin's. While Aladdin is compassionate and selfless, Jafar is heartless and cruel. Aladdin desires to help those in need, and Jafar wants to use anyone he can in order to obtain what he wants. He wants more power and more control while Aladdin just wants to live and have Jasmine. While they are alike in numerous ways, they are the polar opposites. That is the vital quality of being a villain, opposing the hero and creating conflict.

Countless different qualities make villains an inordinate villain such as the appearance, behavior, and the contrast to the hero. Jafar, from Disney's Aladdin, has all the qualities of a powerful villain, thus making him the best villain. From the difficult obstacles he creates for the hero to psychopathic tendencies and unsettling appearance, Jafar is paramount of all villains.
