One character archetype essential to any tale is the villain . Yet, despite being crucial to the story, this character is often less developed and two-dimensional.

In his book, The Writer’s Journey, Mythic Structure for Writers , Christopher Vogler discusses how the villain of a piece represents  the shadow . The enemy injects the narrative with the momentum of dark energy, powering the plot.
