Usually with my antagonists, I like to give them redeeming features that makes them not pure evil. So that at least one point in the story, the reader can see antagonists as vulnerable and even occasionally good.
However, in my next chapter, I wish to introduce a thoroughly unlikable character. I want the reader to be disgusted with him, to root for his downfall and curse at his victories. I think him doing horrible things isn't enough, and glee at doing horrible things for the sake of their horribleness is too cliché.
So, my question is, how would you suggest I make a character unlikable? How do you make (some of) your characters unlikable?
