Javert is NOT a villain! Read the book -- he's the most moral character in there, just as was previously said, misunderstood. The Thernardiers, on the other hand, are most definitely villains. I even wrote a paper about this college. Same with Sweeney actually - not REALLY a villain - he actually isn't in the most classic sense -- he's actually the protagonist of the piece. If anything, Judge Turpin is the villain. Just as the witch is not a villain in Into the Woods. My vote for favorite would go to either Gaston in Beauty and the Beast (I LOVE the song Me) or Jud Fry or Bill Sikes from Oliver! ("Me" is almost as good as "My Name"). I know he's been criticized, but I also like Chauvelin's two songs in Scarlet Pimpernell a lot.
Hi, Shirley Temple Pudding.
