Who has the story set up to be Sweeney Todd's enemy?
I assume you are referring to Stephen Sondheim's musical Sweeney Todd, which was made into a movie starring Johnny Depp and directed by Tim Burton.There have been quite a few totally, completely different versions of the Sweeney Todd story. For example, Ben Kingsley stars as Sweeney Todd in a version that could not be more different. There's no revenge story, no Lucy and Johanna, no Judge Turpin, etc. In the Ben Kingsley version, Sweeney is a greedy villain, rather than a tragic character motivated by revenge.Anyway, in Stephen Sondheim's Sweeney Todd, Judge Turpin is Sweeney's principal enemy.
