Recommended: Characteristics of a villain in literature

I'm not a very big fan of villains, but without villains shows,movies,and books wouldn't have much of a plot. villains are characters whose evil actions or motives are important to the plot. I've never really had a favorite villain, but if i were to choose one I'd choose Gothel from the Disney movie Tangled. Unlike other villains, Gothel successfully captured what she wanted in the beginning of the movie.

She raised her and used rapunzel's hair to stay young, and beautiful. Gothel's personality was very

    A villain is a person that poses a threat to the main character and Minor characters in the story. The villain in Nacho Libre (a fellow luchador champ named Ramses) is what the plot in the story revolves all around. Nacho is trying to raise money for the orphans and buy them some salads or something but Ramses is the person that stands in his way. But if you think about it Ramses weren’t there Nacho can’t win the money. Ramses is a key person in the movie, without Ramses Nacho would just be a sneezing cook at an orphanage with only Incarnasion to talk to and that guy who’s had diarrhea since Easters to make fun of and insult. (I think his name is Senor Ramon)

    She had not known of the prince’s visits to the tower or of Rapunzel’s affection for the man. It wasn’t until Rapunzel said to her: 'Tell me, Dame Gothel, how it happens that you are so much heavier for me to draw up than the young king 's son—he is with me in a moment. ' Dame Gothel was infuriated. ‘Ah! You wretched child,’ she cried. ‘What do I hear you say? I thought I had separated you from all the world, and yet you have deceived me! I swindled your fool of a father only to be tricked myself?’ Dame Gothel looked down at Rapunzel’s large, sad eyes. ‘What do you mean “swindled?” Have you been lying to me about my parents?’ In her anger, Dame clutched Rapunzel 's beautiful tresses, wrapped them twice round her left hand, and seized a pair of scissors. ‘Yes, I lied! That shrewd, fat young fool stole food from me eighteen years ago for his ghastly wife! My beautiful rampions, turned into a salad!’ And with a snip and a snap, Gothel cut off the lovely braids that once flowed from Rapunzel’s hair. So pitiless was Dame Gothel that she took the unfortunate Rapunzel to a desert where she was forced to live in great grief and misery. On the same day that she cast out Rapunzel, however, the enchantress, Dame Gothel fastened the braids of hair, which she had cut off, to the hook of the window, and when the king 's son came and cried: ‘Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your

Oh and look, you’re here too!” Gothel tends to her own wants and needs, neglecting the wants of Rapunzel. The adolescent stage of life is a period of time where teenagers need to find a personal identity and sense of self.
