imagine them as the good guy. it’s only perspective that makes the viewer perceive them as the good guy after all!

Hey, Dwayne Williams 2. I give the antagonist a reason for the way they are/what they're doing (they were raised that way, they believe what they're doing is right, etc.). The audience might not agree with the way the antagonist is or what they're doing, but they'll understand why.

That’s a great point Mandi Allen! What exact aspects do you usually take from the good guy’s perspective and give to the antagonist? Or what traits do you think work best?

Perfect set up Maurice Vaughan! That’s a nice template for writers to learn from.
