If someone was mostly honest and kind to others and has good morals would he/she ever turn into one of the worst villains ever? If you read Macbeth, it shows that a hero becomes corrupt because he is tempted. Some people I've known in the past were good before but then changed into something totally different. DO you think love issues could have cause this?
Do you think it was because they were betrayed by their friends? What makes a good person go bad? Also why is the good person who goes bad seems stronger when they are bad?
Thank you for reading.

kind people become bad and corrupt for different reasons...some become that way because of hardships they experience in life...some because they've been betrayed and hurt by those people who love them...some become that way as a defense mechanism....you mentioned that bad people are stronger...it is because they have to be that way to survive....love is a strong emotion but unlike hate, violence is usually associated with it...making it seem a stronger emotion than love....probably because it is destructive in nature....and yes love can make people bad...especially if the people they love are the ones who betrayed them and let them down....

Deidara is exactly right. It's very spiritually influenced. You probably don't want to read into the website she posted, just take a look at the homepage.
A person holds grudges, bitterness, hurts,etc. for a long time, and these things rot the soul. Then when that dam breaks in the soul because he can't bear it anymore, an evil spirit has a great doorway into the soul, bringing others with him. The person is now bondaged to evil, and is constantly thinking about evil, becoming more and more evil, because a person becomes what he thinks. The strength also comes from the spirits in and around him. This is the reason some people just ooze darkness when they're around. They don't have to say anything. It's just their "aura." You know what this "aura" is? It's actually the evil spirits with the person. If you know anything about being around a godly person (i.e., the person is very inviting, comfortable to be with, kind, etc.), it's the same concept, except in the very opposite direction.
Is this part of your homework?

Well it goes on belief and thought. Your thought(s) influence you more than your beliefs. What ever you magnify in your heart becomes of you. Ex. You can believe it to be bad and not wise to drive fast. You might actually acknowledge that it is against the law after a certain speed. But if you get tired of people hoping in and out of your lane. And You decide, key word decide (A decision is an acceptance of a thought made into action or put into motion) to speed. You are acting on a thought despite your belief. You gave into the circumstances.
As far as good and bad. Life is full of challenges. But w/Christ we are all over-comers. Somethings that people do to us are not right. But that which happened to us is challenging the character of who we are (the real us). A person who seems to become stronger when they are bad is actually displaying the pain they went through. They are not necessarily stronger especially if the now commit the offence that was committed against them. The stronger person never gives in and actually helps the next person they see in the same situation, and keeps to the right path no matter the cost. The reason they stick to who they are is because of character not their reputation.
" Be more concerned with your Character than your reputation. Because your character is who you are, while your reputation is who people think you are."
Shakespeare says it like this--"To thine oneself be true."

No-one wants to turn bad unless he is ggiven the push for it. An honest and kind person can turn Corrupt and Bad when he see no good result of his goodness n everyone is making a fool of his goodness. He still try to maintain the integrity in his behaviour but when u go opposite to the system the system oppose u making u feel hate for the humanity for whom u were expecting good but gave u nothing. At last to stand tall in this world there remains no other option for him to do the same as other does.

An interesting question. People who are moral and honest cannot blame anyone or anything for becoming an undesirable person. We have choices to make and we need to be ourselves without influence from others who will gladly take us down the wrong path with them. Be strong and know that we can be what we choose. Good luck and God Bless.

In literature and comic books, a good person usually turns bad when he's motivated by revenge for some injustice.
They seem stronger when bad because bad characters are more interesting than good ones.

How?
Temptation, greed, selfishness, drugs, heartbreak, depression, mental illness, chemical imbalance, brain tumor, mis-treatment, etc...
Yes, being betrayed and dwelling on it could cause someone to change.
Just as bullies present a front of strength and bravery, when the opposite is closer to the truth, evil people appear to have strength.

Temptation is one of the deadly 7 sins. As a human being with brain, u should be able to put in in good use.
Watever the reason may be, think of the consequences.

I think everyone has a breaking point and I don't think they necessarily turn bad from good, but I think that they may be out for justice or vengeance and being strong may coincide with seeming bad or ruthless as they need to protect themselves from being hurt again.

well that is a huge question. most people will make fun of me but i will say it anyway. the truth is that we were all born with a nature of sin. sin means that we are falling short of God's glory. God sent his son Jesus to die and rise again so that we didn't have to be slaves to sin anymore. we can now live the way we were intended to because we believe in the sacrificial death of Jesus.
i know most people think i am crazy for saying this but i must. the person you mentioned is merely living up to their sinful nature.
