TTT: Best Literary Villains

Quick post for me this week! Thanks to That Artsy Reader Girl for highlighting the evil fictional characters right before Hallowe'en! I chose to focus on literary classics, because there are some truly delightful villainous characters in those stories. Here is my list of...thirteen!

2) Alec D'Urberville - Tess of the D'Urbervilles, by Thomas Hardy
3) Mr. Brocklehurst - Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Brontë
4) Morgan Le Fey - Arthurian Legend
5) Cathy Earnshaw - Wuthering Heights, by Emily Brontë
6) Henry Crawford - Mansfield Park, by Jane Austen
7) Lord Henry Wotton - The Picture of Dorian Gray, by Oscar Wilde


8) Nicholas Skinner - Black Beauty, by Anna Sewell
9) Magua - The Last of the Mohicans, by James Fenimore Cooper
10) Miss Minchin - A Little Princess, by Frances Hodgson Burnett
11) Miss Havisham - Great Expectations, by Charles Dickens
12) Mr. Wickham - Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen

    This is a most excellent list of classic villains, I think.

    I like how you did 13!

    Alas, even for the books here that I read, I don't remember them well.

      Haha, thanks! I was having a hard time narrowing it down, but then I realized it was the perfect number for this list.

    Ooh, I like that you chose classics! I’ve actually read most of these. I agree with Mrs. Danvers. She’s so creepy.

      I'm a huge classics nerd, so it was too tempting to pass up!
