Died in Disgrace

Died in Disgrace is a common theme for certain villains and is linked to Self-Destruction, Hubris, Cowardice, and Villainous Breakdowns - it is reserved for villainous or antagonistic characters who tarnish their last moments with acts of dishonor or malice (usually to show they are unable (or unwilling) to redeem themselves).

While some examples of Self-Destruction are non-fatal ALL examples of Died in Disgrace are lethal, by its very definition - also not all villains who die in disgrace are directly responsible for their own demise (for example a character may not know they are about to die, yet their last action was one of cruelty or spite - thus making them an example of this theme).
