We all know that a great villain makes a hero look even greater. I mean don’t we all agree if there will be no villain, the hero wouldn’t have the chance to be a hero? Well although in this good vs bad duel, in the end, the hero or protagonist gets everything, the fame, appreciation, wealth, respect, love and win of course but if it wasn’t for the antagonist, the protagonist will have none of these things.
A brilliant antagonist makes a movie effective than ever and you can’t deny that a villain brings out the courage of the hero in the movie. You may not need them in chick flick romantic movies but in a captive, engaging suspenseful movie, a great villain is required to blow the breath of excitement.
I mean if White Witch of Narnia as a merciful Queen, or Snow White’s Stepmother as a loving parent or Kaikeyi or Ramayana as a secure and giving stepmother to Ram, Can you? No. In case you are wondering why am I alluding specifically female antagonists, well, that’s because a male protagonist brings rage but a female protagonist brings wrath.
When a movie includes a female antagonist, the plot of the movie doesn’t only sounds exciting, it also becomes dangerously interesting. And we all know, nobody wants to mess up with this baddie, because only GOD knows what she up to.
A woman with a revengeful mission is evil but sexy and there are some Bollywood movies have given us some of the best female protagonists of all times.
