Villains and hero's are two different characters with very opposite traits. Villains are usually obnoxious, selfish, cruel, and ruthless while hero's are brave, strong, and honorable. For this essay I chose to write about the movie Cinderella and the evil step-mom, Lady Tremaine.

Lady Tremaine just wants her daughters to get married to the prince instead of Cinderella getting the opportunity to marry
