[gondremark]

A little while ago I read a sympathetic villain character in a readthrough of a play. For myself, I wholeheartedly side with the other characters and like to downplay the villain's sympathetic aspects, but getting into character as him and seeing everything from his vastly different point of view was really fun and really interesting. I don't agree with anything he says in the text, but to read him I of course had to understand why he himself agrees with what he says. It was a fun thought experiment, and it gave me a lot of new insight into the text that wasn't accessible to me when I only came at things from the reasonable and kind perspective of someone who sympathises with the other characters. There is a tremendous gulf between understanding the baddie from inside his own head, and understanding him as an outsider who sees him as the baddie he really his.
I think a LOT of people, in this thread and in general, just don't quite get this, but it's something actors and authors have to understand.
