A classic Villain Speech must accomplish at least two objects: 1) It must allow the antagonist to state his or her point of view as clearly and powerfully as possible. 2) It must be so rationally stated and so compelling in its logic that we in the audience (or at least a part of us) find ourselves thinking, “Hmm, this villain is evil as hell—but we have to admit, he/she’s got a good point.”
