" With the character Ronny McGorvey, Perrotta said, "I wasn't trying to portray a 'typical' pedophile or child molester, if there is such a thing, but to imagine a very specific character, one who happens to be a sociopath as well as a pedophile, though this isn't clear until well into the novel.
And the timeline on Maeve's death doesn't make any sense to me — young William slaughtered entire camps full of people and discovered his inner kill-crazy sociopath and started murdering Dolores regularly, but he waited 30 years to kill Maeve and her child, and that was some sort of turning point of shattered innocence?
The black comedy, about a teen (Winona Ryder) who teams up with a sociopath (Christian Slater) to kill the cool-girl clique in school, is being reimagined for the small screen as a modernized, anthology series that will present each new season with a new heroine attempting to deal with her own set of Heathers.
Benedict Cumberbatch has rarely had quite as much fun playing Sherlock as he does here, pushing his character to his mental and emotional limits, appearing for all the world like a firecracker fizzing down at both ends until he suddenly explodes into the in-control, 12-steps-ahead high-functioning sociopath we came for.
It makes total sense that he'd be on the soundtrack to 50 Shades of Grey—a sexual fantasy about a 21-year-old college graduate and her sadistic relationship with an older man that's framed as an expression of hidden desire but is actually about a young girl being objectified by an abusive sociopath.
Ayer also isn't blind to what Waller needs to be to succeed: he undermines all his supervillains by giving them secret sentimental sides and soft hearts, but she's the full-on murdering sociopath who's colder than all of them, and she gives the film a spine and a dark edge that isn't blunted by comic relief.
By that equation, Luke is the Barney Stinson stand-in, though where even Neil Patrick Harris's ineffable charms were not enough to disguise the fact that Barney was basically a sociopath, Daniel Ings brings a vulnerability and genuine sense of caring to his character that displays the beating, (somewhat) morally conscious heart underneath the open-collared polo shirt.
If you felt Kobe Bryant was overrated as a player or a smarmy, sniveling dickweed as a public figure or a sociopath as an actual person, it's pretty inarguable that he excelled at pretty much all the skills that build a basketball player's reputation—and which protect a public figure from any serious reckoning with his sins.
Other voices ring out, too: in "Becky and Me," the voices of her girlfriends who find it nearly impossible to trust white women; in "Maurice's Blues," her sister's voice as she grapples with her son's prison sentence; and, in "The Upside to Loving a Sociopath," the disembodied perspective of the D.S.M.-5 shedding light on a dysfunctional relationship.
Grooming, she explained, can be very difficult to identify when you're under the spell of a sociopath like B. He slowly and subtly brainwashed the entire family, including igniting sexual affairs with both Broberg parents — a detail that helped arm the pedophile with blackmail fuel and possibly acted as the reason the Brobergs waited three days to report Jan's first abduction to authorities.
"hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have - but i have it" is beautiful, pained, and ostentatious in a way that only Lana can really pull off—it includes the line "I've been tearing up town in my fucking white gown like a goddamn-near sociopath"—and it's a fine addition to Lana's collection of great NFR tracks.

A quirk of most horror movies is that the people in them tend to move on from violence much quicker than they do in real life, in part because they need to (no time to pay your respects when a sociopath is chasing you) but also because of the mechanics of scary movies: Horror directors like to keep frights at a brisk pace.

The next time you sit down with your family to a nice game of Monopoly — and to determine which of your siblings is secretly a cold-blooded sociopath who would shiv you in your sleep for Park Place — you will no longer have the option of dueling to the death over who gets to be the thimble, the wheelbarrow, or the boot.
He still believes that politics is inherently rational—as if Mitch McConnell had spent his years as Senate majority leader strolling the floor in search of consensus from his pals across the aisle and not pledging to make Barack Obama a one-term president, killing the Supreme Court career of Merrick Garland in utero, or carrying water for the racist sociopath now sitting in the White House.

The effort by the Institute of Contemporary History in Munich to publish the new, critical edition was the subject of debate almost as soon as it was announced, with some seeing it as an important step toward illuminating an unsavory era in Germany, never to be repeated, while others argued that a scholarly edition would legitimize the rantings of a sociopath who led the country down the path of evil.
"Some mental health professionals report [sociopathy and psychopathy are] essentially the same thing, but some forensic psychologists and criminologists say there's a difference between a psychopath and sociopath," says Amy Morin, LCSW, a psychotherapist and author of 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do. Morin says that both sociopaths and psychopaths lack remorse or guilt, disregard laws, social norms, and the rights of others, and may show violent behavior.
Under the sure hand of the director Christopher Nolan, Ledger creates one of the scariest villains in all of cinema — and one that's frighteningly real, an honest-to-goodness sociopath whose nihilistic philosophy (as Michael Caine's Alfred memorably puts it, "some men just want to watch the world burn") invests the character, and the film, with a terrifying feeling that all bets are off, and that good may not prevail.
Wanda and Vision were weird and he's dead, Thor and Jane broke up, Peter Quill and Past Gamora have a lot of work to do, Scott Lang just got Hope Pym to be nice to him again, Peter Parker's first love interest was the daughter of a flying sociopath and also moved away, and T'challa and Nakia's surely fascinating romantic history is only ever alluded to in the course of Black Panther.
And then there are other factors, like frightened but decent front-desk security guard Evan (James Earl); tight-lipped Dany (Melonie Diaz), who's just started her first day on the job; dismissive stoner Marty (James Gunn's brother Sean), who blames hallucinogens in the water coolers for the whole mess; and grinning sociopath Wendall Dukes (John C. McGinley), who seems to have waited his whole life for a catastrophe to let him off the chain.
The sad lesson here, children, if you haven't yet written me off as a complete sociopath, is that falling in love with your straight best friend is perhaps the worst, most self- destructive idea you could possibly have, because not only will they never love you back in the same way you love them, they'll serve as a constant reminder that you are putting off the thing you should've done years ago but cannot escape.
It's a demented relationship, but Macfadyen is so good at playing a sociopath, and Braun is such a delight, that it's impossible not to laugh while watching as they navigate everything from a corporate "death pit" to eating ortolan, a delicacy that was also notably featured on Billions as a marker of wealth, as it involves consuming a protected species of songbird whole (and which Tom gleefully tells Greg is "kinda illegal").
This should not really come as a surprise, as one of her first music videos — for the 2012 song "Give Your Heart a Break," which you might remember as the soundtrack to a confusing suburban summer when you were 19 and romantically obsessed with a sociopath, I don't know, I don't know your life — ends with Demi constructing a many-story-high shrine to her love interest, made up of thousands upon thousands of photos of them together.
Adding to that fantasy are the various kids Marcus comes into contact with: Condor's aforementioned Saya, the school's most gifted student and its most skilled assassin; Maria (María Gabriela de Faría), a talented killer from a powerful Mexican crime family; Willie (Luke Tennie), the son of an infamous gangster; and Billy (Liam James), who, like Marcus, is a fellow rat but might also be both a sociopath and the most emotionally honest character in the series.
We have the slow, painful death of romance ("Marriage Story"); a dour, near-funereal shaggy-dog story about a phlegmatic hit man ("The Irishman"); a blackly funny but agonizing depiction of contemporary social polarities culminating in gore and gristle ("Parasite"); a wish-fulfillment fantasy of an alternate-universe 1969 whose climax is no less bloody ("Once Upon a Time in Hollywood"); a harrowing odyssey through the muddy, corpse-ridden battlefields of World War I Europe ("1917"); and an origin story of a comic-book sociopath ("Joker") that seems almost nostalgic for a dingy, crime-ridden urban landscape straight out of the Bronx-is-Burning era of 1970s New York.
