   Summary

   This essay aims to analyze each of Castlevania’s primary villains, what exactly they represent in their roles as antagonistic forces, and explore the thesis that their capacity to embrace evil and also reject it is what makes the characters inherently human despite their inhuman origins. Each section will also compare and contrast both depictions from the animated universe as well as their video game counterparts.
