Trope where a villain or antagonist becomes the protagonist and earns redemption. Intense reader favorite.
The villain must genuinely be redeemed through action, not just declared redeemed.
The cost of redemption should be equal to the severity of the original villainy.
A villain who regrets and fights that regret is more compelling than one who immediately reforms.
Readers who loved to hate the villain will become the most passionate advocates for the redemption arc.
