Why did Anakin become evil so quickly?

Anakin Skywalker's rapid turn to evil stemmed from a combination of profound fear (especially of losing Padmé), deep-seated trauma (his mother's death), a sense of betrayal by the Jedi Council (who denied him power and mishandled his life), and masterful manipulation by Palpatine (Darth Sidious), who exploited his insecurities and promised the power to save his loved ones, ultimately pushing him to betray the Jedi and embrace the dark side for a twisted sense of control and order.

In current canon, Plagueis is a legend Palpatine uses to lure Anakin, and the exact nature of Anakin's conception by the Force remains a mystery, though he had no conventional father.
