I've never liked Saruman, I don't know why. On the movie on or the book, I did tend to cry for Gollum but I don't think i really liked him either.
Shall these bones live?
It is hard to like down and out Evil character!!!
It is those that have a thread of "goodness" still that makes them intriguing and interesting...
I sent my Soul through the Invisible,
Some letter of that After-life to spell:
And by and by my Soul return'd to me,
And answer'd "I Myself am Heav'n and Hell :"

The main problem I have with villains is that they are all stupid and violate the "Evil Overlord Rules" (http://www.evilrulers.com/eviloverlord.htm and/or http://www.eviloverlord.com/lists/overlord.html)... It makes me want to smack them... So, any "liking" I might have had for them vanishes... *sigh*...
Well, I am one of those mentally ill people that didn't like Sirius and cheered when he died... But, I dislike her because she's insaneMy favorite character was Snape (although he wasn't technically a villain)
The first time I read Dragonlance, Raistlin was my favorite character (I thought he was cool and powerful and in a crappy position)... Then I tried to re-read it a year or two ago, and realized he was a whiney jerk... It kind of ruined the book.
I admit that you have to feel sorry for Sauron. Here he is, an uber powerful demi-god thing (I think he was a demi-god) and this little insignificant halfling kills him...
While there are villains who fail to follow the evil overlord rules, there are other villains who are just plain nasty, and who are so rude that they do evil things without informing the victim what will come next.
Yes, it's a bit bothering, but I think otherwise she would be too intriguing or too unreal (depends of what the madness would be changed with). I like Snape too and I think that somewhere in the first books he could be considered as one.Well, I am one of those mentally ill people that didn't like Sirius and cheered when he died...

Oh and I loved reading about Gollum too!

Gustav Gründgens as Mephisto in Faust.
it's been ages since I watched it, though. I don't remember what it was I liked about him
I thought about her, too.
I was actaully going to mention another Dickens character, though, that I LOVE. It is from his unfinished story, The Mystery of Edwin Drood. It is Drood's Uncle Jasper. He was just brilliant!! Of course, as the story was never finished, we will never know what the outcome of his character would've been (maybe he wouldn't have been the evil one after all - though I highly doubt it!). He was so sneaky. I like those sorts of guys!
Yeah, and doesn't the name of Philip Tempest (from a character I mentioned earlier) just stick in your head?!??!!
He scares me for some reason.
Shall these bones live?
Well, if you read the book, he will linger in your mind a little longer. After all, he psychologically messes with the leading lady, and I think that is why the thought of his character seems to stick in the mind for awhile.He scares me for some reason.
I think villains who go after their "prey" in the psychological sense make the best villains of all. They are the most clever.
I made my mother read this book and I'd ask her how she was liking it. Whenever I'd do that, all she'd ever say was "Tempest, Tempest, Tempest", and leave it at that. She did mention, though, that at the time while she was reading the book, he would pass through her mind during the day. He seems to have that sort of affect on people!
