I have read many fairy tale that the antagonist ends up being killed or vanished into eternal darkness. Never once have I seen a villain being understood and saved by the protagonist. All they ever did was try to kill them. Are there any stories that end in a truly happy ending?
Villains have been in many fairy tales and books. They can be seean trying to get in the protagonist happiness. They are described to be the most ruthless, merciless and most evil of all. But what we don't know is their story. Once they were people too, who got scared and everthing was taken from them, their most price possession even the ones that they care about the most. They were wounded and thrown away like garbage. They suffer more that we can emagine, the torture they have been through is nothing compared to the protagonist sufferings.
They become someone that injure others because they have been hurt and still hurting. They're waiting for someone, someone that can save them from the darkness that keep on swallowing them. The abyss that keep on pulling them further and further away from the person they were once before. And in spite all of these we still hate on them, we hate on them not knowing the suffering they have been through. Why do we hate on them? Is it because they're evil? They are also a person who has feelings, they get hurt from time to time. They experience being born and being loved and they also experience betrayal that some of us have. So why hate on them? We are all the same , so why do you despise them?
Imagine this, the hero and the villain are both in danger. You got a day to choose who will you save, and within that day try to save the person you choose. Who will you choose to save? The villain who has experience unimaginable pain their whole entire lives or the hero who will someday save the earth from evil and will be given blessings if they one day save the earth? If I were to choose, I would like to save both of them. Why save both, you ask? They have both suffer the cause and effect of their actions. They have both suffer but not equally. The other has experience some good thing in his life, then the other has experience nothing but pain and torture. Isn't it unfair to just save the other one? Why not save both? I have a lot of time to say both of them. That is my answer.
How about you? Who will you save? The hero or the villain or maybe both?
