The Grinch

Grinch is the titular main protagonist of the 2000 live-action adaptation of Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Similar to his original counterpart, the Grinch is shown to be very grouchy, selfish, and wrathful in nature. To that end, he would play harmful pranks on the citizens of Whoville, such as tampering with their mail, making crank calls, and scaring intruders from entering into his lair. However, the true reason behind his wrathful and sadistic nature was due to being bullied by other kids for his appearance. As a child, he was an outcast at school and was bullied by his classmates, especially by Augustus May Who and that the horrible treatment is what drove him off the edge to become the Christmas-hating person he was known.
