also evil is in itself a tragedy.. a character that is obsessed with doing evil is a tragic being, completely unable to understand the world around themselves and glorifying wickedness..

they may cackle and rape and pillage with glee but they are tragic, no one is *born* evil.. they are either shaped by society or deliberately reject society to pursue a tragic life of self-destruction and delusion.

we laugh at most over-the-top "evil" villains but they are still tragic souls, completely unable (or unwilling) to exist in peace with the world around themselves..

a mentally ill character believes they are doing good.. an "evil" character simply rejects doing good and pursues a tragic life of petty crime and stupidity.
