Villains, monsters, evil; many people know them as these common names, but is there only one type of villain? Are they completely evil or are some that fall into the grey areas of the evil scale? Some villains are pure evil, like the Joker or even Scar from the Lion King. Others, like Doctor Evil from Austin Powers or Doctor Doofenshmirtz from the Disney show, Phineas and Ferb, are not completely evil. There are two types of villains in the world, ones that are pure evil and others that are only partly evil and many people would classify them based solely on good versus evil. Others believe that some villains fall into a category that is in between, where they are not completely evil but are not purely good either. The villains such as Dr. Evil and Dr. Doofenshmirtz are not purely evil or purely good; they are just some where in between. These types of villains have s source of humanity left in them. Meaning that they have a little bit of kindness, sympathy, and a good human nature left in their soul and are not soulless or purely evil. Most would say that all villains are pure evil, but there are a select few that still perform good acts that pull them out of this classification of pure evil. Both Dr. Evil and Dr. Doofenshmirtz help their nemeses by not destroying them completely and by giving them a head start in their plans so that they have some competition. Other villains like the Joker would destroy their enemies right away instead of playing games with them, and these types of villains have no humanity and are soulless. It is believed that some villains or evil people, and no matter how evil they might be, have some humanity in them even though majority of their actions say otherwise. This statement is demonstrated in many television shows, books, and music and is seen all around in the world today. It is shown through metaphors and even is flat out stated. Many people would disagree with this, but others, like Anne Frank, would agree that everyone is basically has some good in them. One show displays this idea that no matter how evil the person may be, that they still have some humanity left in them and this show is titled Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The particular season is season two and the episode “Surprised” does a good job in providing examples of how humanity is present in the evil villains or vampires. The scene involving Drusilla and Spike, also known as vampires, and a terrible monster really proves how humanity is present in some of the worst creatures.
