In this episode of the Write it Scared podcast, we discuss the distinction between villains and antagonists, emphasizing that while all villains are antagonists, not all antagonists are villains. We also discuss how to dig into villains' motivations and backstories, suggesting they are complex characters shaped by their experiences rather than inherently evil.
We touch on fifteen specific questions for writers to consider when developing their villains. These questions ensure that writers create conflicts and plots that engage readers and highlight the necessity of understanding a villain's entire life story to make their actions credible and interesting.
And bonus! I also include a link to a free resource to help you nail your villain’s backstory, wants and motivations.
