Essays / Why do villains sin? - essay help [6]

hey gloria,
i've decided to use the Dark Knight and Harry Potter for the essay. Thanks for your help =)

Here are my points:

Reasons for sinning
1. Evil Nature
2. Circumstances - lost of loved ones / Unhappy past
3. Temptation of power/ feel powerful
4. Jealousy
5. No explanation / no definite reason

Points to explore:
a) Villains do not take a permanent form (transformation)
Villains -> good
Good -> villains
Villain-> no reasons (whim)
b) Being cursed, despised -> enjoy it despite others' disapproval
c) Result: win /lose - What does this implies?
sometimes winning or losing doesn't matter
sometimes the villain appears to lose, but actually they have won

I am thinking weather Snape is a villain... it is quite contradictory...

are there any points to add?

Thanks for your advice.

The Grinch in "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" destroys Christmas because of his unpleasent childhood experience, right? not just coldheartedness and selfishness... is it correct?

i will use "the dark knight" and "harry potter" for sure... still deciding on the third one... =)
