LYRICS
"Three Voices of Fate"
FROM MACBETH ACT IV

MacBeth, MacBeth, beware MacDuff
Beware the Thane of Fife. Enough!

[MacBeth]
Where didst thou leave? Yet give warn
Why fear MacDuff? I need hear more!

Ye Macbeth you're kingship will stay
Til Birnam wood shall meet Dunsinane

[MacBeth]
Live on MacDuff, why should I fear
You too must die, My guilt to clear

I am MacBeth! I will stand strong! And forever reign

Laugh in the face of men who come to slay thee
No one of woman born may lay hands against thee

[MacBeth spoken]
"Then I will slay MacDuff and his family anon"

I am MacBeth, none will defy, even MacDuff
I seal a bond to rid this earth the name MacDuff

[MacBeth]
Time is now to strike his family down
I hear MacDuff has left them all alone
No talk of murders and dead
Retain the crown upon my head

I am Macbeth. All testify I will survive
I crush the words those who defy. None left alive.

  • In my opinion, the White Witch, Pennywise and Voldemort are nothing compared to Dracula. I mean, Bram Stocker said it: he´s the devil itself with human form.

  • I understand. ^_^

    Some of this is kind of based on the fact that most of my audience is too young to appreciate characters like Dracula the way you and I can. Then again there's Iago and Modred. I am happy with this list overall.

  • I think this list should be renamed "Top 10 villains in anglo saxon literature", because i can't see any from spanish (or hispanic), french, german, russian, italian, chinese, indian or japanese literature.

  • That's a good point ^__^. To be honest, I actually am familiar with a lot of foreign literature (because I live in the great Pacific Melting Pot of Hawaii). I'm going to leave the title alone though. I don't think it's hurting too many people.

    I don't think Twilight fans would like Dracula. He's not "sparkling" *vomits at thinking of that word*

    But indeed, Moriarty is great!

  • I'm surprised Ernst Stavro Blofeld of Big Brother from "Nineteen Eighty-Four" didn't make it.

  • Wait...but Moby Dick wasn't a villain. The whole point of the novel was that you can't make enemies out of animals simply because...they're animals.

    Kinda disappointed that Voldemort and a dude from 'Left Behind' made it on this list. Top comment has a point: Cthulhu/Deep Ones in general are great, and the Crimson King was actually good at villainy, unlike Voldemort.

  • In my opinion the White Witch is the most underrated villain of all time. If you have only seen the movies she is only “other” of the list but if you have read the books you would know of what I speak. she killed a whole world (or universe) including her sister, and she didnt feel remorse of doing that. I know about most of the villains in this list and in my opinion the only one here that can match Jadis for the first place is Sauron.

  • @Dzulumsito I'm sorry but I completely disagree with you. I hate Twilight, I absolutely DESPISE it! Twilight is not about vampires or werewolves, it's about fairies and over-sized dogs. It's a shame what Stephanie Meyer did to the vampire legacy.

  • @tiojaviss dracula is for twilight fans. the Most Badass is moriarty

  • very happy iago is on the list and one of the top 3

  • Thank god you put Moriaty on there, he has become so underated considering most other villains now must have drawn some insperation of him, I think maybe u played too much on the Othello clip though because it does get a bit long winded for viewers who probably dont understand Shakespeare

  • no lestat?

  • why is it all villians...there should be one about heros...XD this is still a nice list though
