User blog:StevenTheKing/PE Proposal: Mrs. Tweedy

Okay, so I have yet another villain that I'd like to propose as Pure Evil--Melisha Tweedy from Chicken Run.

Who is she?/What has she done?
Melisha Tweedy is the main antagonist of the 2000 Aardman/DreamWorks film, Chicken Run. Tweedy is a farmer who basically runs a chicken farm like a Nazi death camp. She kills chickens whenever they fail to a lay an egg, like at the beginning, and even though we don't actually get to see the act, we get to see the shadow. Fed up with the fact that her chicken farm is failing, she decides to turn the chickens into chicken pies and has her husband, Mr. Tweedy, build a machine to make that happen. The next time she inspects the chickens, she notices that Babs is overweight and orders the chickens fed twice their usual rations; it's quite obvious that she plans to kill them by fattening them so that she can turn them into pies. In the third act, when she discovers the chickens are trying to escape the farm, she chases them up the plane and literally attempts to kill Ginger with an ax. That right there shows you just how far she's willing to go to get what she wants.

Moral agency
She is fully aware of what she's doing and has no conscience whatsoever.

Freudian excuse/Mitigating factors
None. Her failing business does not excuse her actions in any way.

Final verdict
I'd say she qualifies as Pure Evil. What say you?
