Re: Your ideal fictional antagonist/villain?

[dreemyweird]

Original ones. Honestly, for some reason it is so much harder to find a villain that isn't just a walking trope than it is to find a good hero. Freudian villains in particular make me think ill of any modern writer who uses them.

Favourites? El Supremo from the Hornblower series would be one (mostly because he's genuinely and obviously mentally ill and this motif is explored in depth, as well as the issue of whether he's really guilty); then there's Moriarty (arguably the first of a kind, hence very non-tropey); Mr Rucastle; Thomas Neill Cream (his reliance on the major historio-psychological conflicts of the Victorian era - very smart!); Lt. Daniel Blaney (one of the finest grey-area antagonists I've seen); Heather Grace; the protagonist of The Collector by J. Fowles, F. Clegg; Capt. Anson from Arthur&George (although that's kinda RPF). Pretty much all the antagonists of Catch-22, but notably, Aardvark. Ugh.
