It’s difficult, though. If you write them as too likeable, the reader may no longer want to see them fall, or even root for the villain instead of the hero. Which can be interesting if that’s what you’re going for.

Ahh I think you should pat yourself on the back if you make a villian likeable/respectable. The villian is the person who will make your hero shine. If he's likeable, your hero has to prove themselves more. :lol: It's 2am in the morning so I can't think of any more common examples, but Colonel Jessup from 'A few good men' comes to mind. For the entire movie I hated this guy, but this one scene I linked here made me understand him so completely that I have to begrudgingly respect him as a good villian and sympathise his position. (Though for the purpose of this discussion he is nowhere near 'soft' villian) But I like him as the villian. :lol:

Skip to 1:17 for immediate conflict scene. :smile:
