Heroes and Villains

Later in this topic, you will learn about two archetypes known as the hero and the villain. You are likely already familiar with these characters and may have referred to them as the "good guy" and the "bad guy," respectively. Before exploring these archetypes, take a moment to ask yourself the following questions about some of your favorite movies, TV shows, and novels:

• How many of these stories have obvious heroes and villains?
• What makes an ideal hero and villain?

After considering your responses to these questions, discuss the characteristics of your favorite hero and villain in a journal entry. If you need assistance on writing a journal entry, please visit the Developmental Module for more information. Once you have completed your journal entry, please save it with a file name of mod3top2_characters and submit it to the journal dropbox.
