When we talk about villains forced to choose the wrong path, Shere Khan from The Jungle Book appears in our minds. He is one of the earliest villains we are introduced to as kids. We know Shere Khan hated humans, even harmless children like Mowgli. But his hatred had valid reasons behind it. He was traumatized by the destruction that the humans incited to the environment, including the jungle making him hate humans with all his might.
