Sweeney Todd: Sweeny Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

Benjamin Barker, better known as Sweeney Todd, once lived a happy life with his wife and baby daughter. Then, one day, a judge had him shipped off to prison because he wanted his wife for himself. So, when Todd got out, he came back with a murderous vengeance and a disgust for all humanity. So, he began killing every man that came into his barbershop for a shave, waiting for the judge to come in one day. While this can be seen as highly unethical and fully psychopathics, Todd was running on his own ethical codes which he believed called for his actions at the time. Because of what Todd went through, the audience can sympathize with what he’s going through and long for him to get his revenge as well.
