The Mistress of All Evil

The famous Maleficent, made her appearance in Disney's Sleeping Beauty.  She also makes appearances in her own featured Film Maleficent. If you would like a short summary of the movie, check out my post titled "A Delicate Rose."

Pros:
- Patient: She waits patiently for sixteen years for Aurora to come out of hiding.  She would have waited sixteen years from her birth anyways, but still, that's a long time to wait for revenge.
- Dramatic:  Maleficent sure knows how to make an entrance, a curse, make herself a dragon and basically everyone fear her at any point of the day. #girlpower
- Determined:  She won't let anything stop her from getting her way.  Turning into a fire breathing dragon is the lengths she'll go to get what she wants.

Cons:
- Harsh: Was this really a necessary punishment for not being invited to a party?  Maybe if she's chill out and not curse everyone for random reasons, she would be invited more often.  #chillout
- Evil: She is arguably one of the most evil Disney villains of all time.  She curses a child, and tortures basically everyone if they get in her way.  #nomercy

In Disney's live action film Maleficent, she was given more of a backstory than in Disney's original.  I think this helped develop her character and personality and almost gave a reason to feel sympathy towards her.  Heartbreak can make people do unspeakable things.  I honestly believe that villains are the most interesting characters in any story.  It shows what a person can do under the influence of hatred and pain.  Everyone has a bit of evil inside of them and its interesting to watch evil unfold.
