"Villains make the story. Without villains, all heroes would be at home sulking."
-Conversation with a Friend
I think this quote would be a great springboard for flipping the stereotypical idea of the hero/villain relationship. Really, villains seem to have much more weight, power, and charisma than the heroes. I would be interesting in tackling a poem where the villain was essentially the hero and vice versa. This actually reminds me of Joker's character in the most recent Batman film as well. Developing the reflexive/unseen side of an idea is a great creative outlet for a poem.
