Jafar

http://obsessed.simple-dreams.com/villainous/jafar.jpg

Jafar is the ultimate in cunning and treachery. A man who lives with a kindly sultan all the while just waiting to overthrow him. He is susceptible to excessive delusions of grandeur. His schemes range from marrying the princess, to finding a magic lamp which will make him all powerful. While pretending to be fawning and obsequious he fumes under the idea that a fool like the Sultan should rule instead of him, (The Sultan's real name is never given). And his diminuitive henchman Iago is a whole other story. Jafar, like most Disney Villains, is cruel and manipulative, using others to achieve his own ends. Why does a man like Jafar lust for so much power? Well, I think it has something to do with the fact that he's so damn ugly. Now really, every character in the film seems to agree on that fact. So, when your ugly, and you cant get women to like ya, at least you can try and become all-powerful and see if that makes a difference. And there is a kernal of truth to this because after he becomes an all powerful sorcerer he tries to seduce Jasmine, and even wants the Genie to make her fall in love with him. Unfortunatly for Jafar, Disney didnt have time to let him find his significant other and he and Iago were cast into a lamp and thrown into the desert. One thing you just gotta admire about him though, is that although he had so many downfalls he kept on truckin through and never gave up, until he died of course, I give this Bad Boy an 8/10
