     #3:  I think Templeton is at first a villain, but throughout the story he becomes a hero.  When he first mets Wilbur, he's rude and doesn't wait to mention the smokehouse.  However, he becomes good friends with Wilbur and Charlotte, too.  Templeton and Charlotte help Wilbur from ending up as Christmas dinner by thinking up and writing inspirational words about Wilbur.  Templeton saw what an impact Wilbur had on the town, and this caused him to have change of heart. Due to his change of heart, and his actions in the later parts of the story, I find him to be more of a hero than a villain.
