Books have given us so much in our lives. Lessons we will remember, heroes we will love, and couples we will always adore. And these same books also gave us villains that we will never forget. And here we mention 8 of them.

Voldemort is one of the most feared villains in modern fiction, and he is the Dark Lord who must not be named. With no nose, red eyes, and a snake-like face, he was terrifying in every sense, and is both scary and hated by people.

A circus clown is usually thought of as creepy and weird, but Pennywise takes everything a notch higher. He is a shape-shifting creature that feeds on children’s fears, and eventually, children too.

A character Potterheads hate with all their might is Umbridge. She is truly evil in disguise, trying to cover her intentions by wearing all-pink attire, but is really a cruel and power-hungry woman.

From Stephen King’s ‘Misery’ is Annie, a nurse who finds her favorite author, Paul Sheldon, injured and helpless, and then holds him hostage in her home. She forces him to write things she wants, and when he doesn’t, the torture is unexplainable.

From Shakespeare’s ‘Othello’ comes Iago, a man who is hated by the literary community for his manipulative ways. In ‘Othello’, he ruins lives by planting seeds of doubt and lies, and his selfish motives make people feel repulsed by him.

A man who is greedy, selfish, and hungry for money is Count Olaf from ‘A Series of Unfortunate Events’. He is the man who just wants to take the inheritance and riches of the Baudelaire orphans, and does compromising things to get hold of wealth.

President Snow from ‘Hunger Games’ is not your average villain who huffs and puffs around, or says mean things. He is just a man who keeps people in fear and forces children to kill each other in the Hunger Games.

Joffrey, from ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’ is a young king with too much power and no compassion. He is sadistic, violent, and hides behind the power of his throne whenever things don’t go his way or go wrong.
