Villainous characters in literature often use flattery to win the trust of others, eg Iago in [[Shakespeare]]'s ''[[Othello]]'' and [[Grima|Grima Wormtongue]] from ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]''. In [[Dante's Inferno]], flattery is considered a form of [[fraud]], and flatterers are punished by being buried in filth.
