I guess I’ll say Darth Vader. Intelligent, scheming, intuitive, imperious, dreaded, nearly irresistible but mysterious powers, bows to almost no one, has his own style, speaks entertainingly with contemptuous authority, a force of one with a sword, takes matters into his own hands, flies around the galaxy in giant warships, plenty of minions, feels no need for safety railings, not concerned with public opinions or much of anything. What’s not to love?
I relate to Darth Vader as an icon of intentional evil villainy and doubtful possibility of redemption or forgiveness, which has actually seeped into my own morality in the form of that which I dread to judge myself as. That is, when faced with a moral dilemma, I realized that I was paralyzed from taking the hard choice I probably needed to, by the underlying idea that if I did, part of my feelings felt like it might judge myself as being “like Darth Vader”, if found myself saying to myself.
