27 min - E037 - Interview on Villains With Sacha Black
In this episode, V.E. Griffith and Miss Catherine M.H. welcome guest Sacha Black to discuss the nuances of creating compelling villains in storytelling. Sacha emphasizes the importance of humanizing villains, challenging the notion of them as caricatures of pure evil. According to her, villains, like protagonists, need strong motivations and a connection to their past wounds. Furthermore, their actions should reflect their unique perspective on morality, usually involving a critique of accepted societal norms.
The discussion provides valuable insights into the craft of character development, particularly the need to approach villains as nuanced, multifaceted characters with their motivations and vulnerabilities.
