Abstract

In order to achieve a more credible evilness in the villains, they are provided sometimes with a complex personality, increasing their humanity. This humanization can create some identification from the public and this would concern directly the responsibility of this character of being hated and been afraid, and so of being capable to create dramatic tension on the main conflict. The risk of the humanization of the villain and his repercussion in the main plot will be studied, analyzing the emotional implications of his acts in “Red Dragon" (Brett Ratner, 2002).
