Richard Vernon
Richard also known as "Dick" is the main antagonist in the movie. The five students share a common hatred for him which acts as a starting point for them to relate to one another. He is portrayed as a poor teacher with a short temper and his actions show us that he is a "Dick" like his name suggests.
Firstly he calls the students "Smug little pricks!" which is an insult. Even though he is in the authoritative position, he shouldn't be using such language. He clearly isn't a good role model for the students. He also threatened to hit Bender. Such actions are unacceptable and causes the audience to dislike Mr Vernon.
