Lecture: Something about villains and why they are so fascinating

What to know

We have invited journalist and reviewer at Politiken Henrik Palle to help us delve into what actually constitutes a villain - and when a villain becomes a monster - based on the book "Fra Odysseus til Olsenbanden - en introduktion til "The villainology."The German actor Udo Kier has said that it is almost always the villain who is remembered when the story is over. The hero may be likable, but it is the evil one - the monster - that sticks.The hero may be remembered as a somewhat fresh, albeit sweet, experience, but it is the bad guy, the supervillain, the monster that sticks in the cerebral cortex.Villainology is about these characters - the fictional Bohemians and women of all kinds.
