Valentine is the villain in the novel because he kidnaps Clary's mother and seeks to find the mortal cup, which turns humans into shadow hunters. Valentine sets out to purify the human race by killing all demons, half demons, and turning humans into shadow hunters. However, turning humans into shadow hunters can possibly kill humans. Valentine sets out to complete his mission by building an army by dangerous means. He even builds a following with other shadow hunters, which he names the Circle. Valentine reminds me of Hitler because his views of purifying a race, building an army, and having an inferiority complex towards other races is similar to Hitler. This parallel portrayal of Valentine to Hitler helps the reader dislike Valentine and also shows Valentine's strength.
