There isn't a clear-cut villain in Charlotte's Web. While the story features some characters who might initially seem antagonistic, the overarching theme focuses on friendship, loyalty, and the cyclical nature of life.
- The Farmer: Though he initially plans to slaughter Wilbur, the pig, he ultimately grows attached to him and understands the value of life. He even helps Charlotte and Wilbur in their plan to save Wilbur's life.
- The Templeton Rat: While Templeton is selfish and greedy, he ultimately helps Charlotte and Wilbur by providing them with food and supplies. He also plays a crucial role in the final act of the story.
- The Other Animals: While some animals might initially be skeptical of Charlotte and Wilbur's friendship, they ultimately come to appreciate their bond and support them.
Instead of a singular villain, the story emphasizes the complex nature of relationships and the importance of understanding different perspectives.
