Top 5 Tuesday: Bookish Villains

Top 5 Tuesday was created by Shanah at Bionic Book Worm, and now being hosted by Meeghan reads.

Hello!

It has been ages since I took part in a Top 5 Tuesday so I thought it was high time I took part again. I also love this weeks topic as who doesn’t love a good villain!

So here are my villains…

Cruella de Ville from 101 Dalmatians by Dodie Smith – I read this book as an adult and loved it and I have since read it a few more times as it is an absolute favourite. Cruella is the perfect villain in this book.
Alec D’Urberville from Tess of the D’Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy – Now this villain is a real baddie and one I hated whilst reading the book. Sometimes you can get a soft spot for a villain but I had no soft spot for this monster.
Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte – I’m sorry but they were both as bad as each other so I have put them together. These two deserved each other as they were both masters of destroying peoples lives.
Mr Rochester from Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte – I’m sorry but he was a mean man. He had no qualms about dressing up as a gypsy and messing with Jane’s mind. He lied to Jane and mentally tortured the poor woman.
Agatha Trunchbull from Matilda by Roald Dahl – This is a childhood favourite of mine but one I have also read as an adult. Trunchbull is such a meanie beanie and I think she is great. Dahl was so good at creating villains it was hard to just pick one.

Who are your favourite bookish villains?
