Abstract
Both nature and nurture have a great impact on a child’s development. Nature includes everything a child inherits from their parents; personality traits, behaviour, predispositions for diseases and physical traits. Nurture consists of all the environmental factors and the traits a child develops throughout its life. The discussion on whether nature or nurture has a bigger impact on the development of a child has been going on for years. The aspect of the discussion that this paper explores is the influence of nature and nurture on the development of a child into a villain as exemplified in Harry Potter fantasy novels, specifically through J.K. Rowling’s character Tom Marvolo Riddle (Lord Voldemort). In the first chapter, the paper provides a general overview of the nature vs. nurture discussion and the theory behind both concepts giving a basis for the in-depth analysis of Tom Riddle’s becoming a villain presented in chapter two. Chapter two deals with Tom Riddle’s nature and nurture, his heritage, parentage, years in school, friendships and so on, intertwined with possible theoretical explanations of his behaviour, the reasons for his misbehaviour and his eventual villainy. The final chapter completes the first two chapters and leads to the conclusion that Tom Riddle’s nature and nurture combined led to him becoming one of the most notorious wizards of all time, Lord Voldemort.
