Abstract We examine three basic tropes—villain, victim, and hero—that emerge in images, claims, and narratives. We compare recent research on characters with the predictions of an established tradition, affect control theory (ACT). Combined, the theories describe core traits of the villain-victim-hero triad and predict audiences’ reactions. Character theory (CT) can help us understand the cultural roots of evaluation, potency, and activity profiles and the robustness of profile ratings. It also provides nuanced information regarding multiplicity in, and subtypes of, characters and how characters work together to define roles. Character types can be strategically deployed in political realms, potentially guiding strategies, goals, and group dynamics. ACT predictions hold up well, but CT suggests several paths for extension and elaboration. In many cases, cultural research and social psychology work on parallel tracks, with little cross-talk. They have much to learn from each other. Journal Information Social Psychology Quarterly (SPQ) publishes theoretical and empirical papers on the link between the individual and society, including the study of the relations of individuals to one another, as well as to groups, collectivities and institutions. It also includes the study of intra-individual processes insofar as they substantially influence or are influenced by social structure and process. SPQ is genuinely interdisciplinary, publishing works by both sociologists and psychologists. Published quarterly in March, June, September and December. Publisher Information American Sociological Association Mission Statement: Serving Sociologists in Their Work Advancing Sociology as a Science and Profession Promoting the Contributions and Use of Sociology to Society The American Sociological Association (ASA), founded in 1905, is a non-profit membership association dedicated to advancing sociology as a scientific discipline and profession serving the public good. With over 13,200 members, ASA encompasses sociologists who are faculty members at colleges and universities, researchers, practitioners, and students. About 20 percent of the members work in government, business, or non-profit organizations. As the national organization for sociologists, the American Sociological Association, through its Executive Office, is well positioned to provide a unique set of services to its members and to promote the vitality, visibility, and diversity of the discipline. Working at the national and international levels, the Association aims to articulate policy and impleme nt programs likely to have the broadest possible impact for sociology now and in the future.

A hero will choose the world over you, a villain would kill the world for you. А hero would sacrifice you to save the planet, but a villain would sacrifice the planet to save you. докопаешься до своей глубины, до седой сердцевины, отворяешь сокрытое там, словно ящик Пандоры, понимаешь: теперь это ямы, не звёзды, не горы. понимаешь, что от тебя не осталось и половины. скажешь: «Господи, я же хотел летать и лечить зверей, я хотел говорить убедительно, важно молчать, возлюбить человечество, будто недельных волчат, тех, которых охотник отрывает от матерей. я хотел жить у моря, влюбляться в бушующий пульс, а живу у развалин убогого городка. всё, что есть у меня – одичалость, душа и строка, да и те не продать – у валюты высокий курс». докопаешься к этим мыслям в бессонную ночь, как сводящий с ума ультразвук, они будут в ушах очень долго, останется вытерпеть, не дышать, утро склеит тебя обязательством жить, словно скотч. хорошо, что ты сносный актёр и не выдашь надлом, будешь тайно надеяться, что не придёт рецидив. «хорошо, что летать не решился, поэтому жив», – говоришь, потолок задевая зажившим крылом. (с) Дарья Соль
What is it called when your a hero and a villain?An antihero is kind of like a villain, or a mix of a hero and a villain. Antiheroes are complex characters, which is why they're popular. Definitions of antihero.
Can a hero become a villain?Short answer: yes, a protagonist can be evil. Villain protagonists are nowhere near as common as heroes, but can be done well if you do the necessary character-building, which we'll go into shortly. Sometimes the villain protagonist will start evil and become a better person at the end.
What separates a hero from a villain?Hero seeks Outcome X; Villain seeks Outcome Opposite-of-X.
Why does a hero need a villain?In almost any story, the villain plays just as vital a role as the hero. The antagonist is often the primary reason why the hero's story is even worth telling. Without the villain, good has nothing to triumph over, nothing challenges the protagonist, and everyone just goes about their average lives.
