Bigger Thomas did horrible things that most people in this world could never do. A personality comprised of violence, compulsive lying, and no emotional connection to other living things are three pieces of evidence that can prove why Bigger may be a sociopath. Throughout the book, Native Son, Bigger takes the lives of two people without any sense of guilt or remorse. This could be because of fear and the way he was raised, or Bigger could be suffering from a very serious psychological disorder. A sociopath does not feel emotion towards others, and only looks out for the good of himself, which perfectly exemplifies the protagonist in this novel.
The videos showed me that these serial killers have no structure in their personality; they are all over the place, constantly changing their emotions and feelings. Also, none of them are honest, and it is impossible to learn the truth from any of them. It also seems like they are addicted to killing. They aren’t just killing out of revenge or for any reason at all; it is a habit that they cannot
He did create life, however he never took flu responsibility, always took the easy way out and was the force that created the suffering of the novel.

Tom Joad is not a bad man, and Jim Casy was not either. The latter was brutally murdered and Tom, in rage, killed Casy’s murderer in response. These people, including Tom, were never meant to be stonehearted and cold, and they should not be regarded as such. They are misjudged and looked
Physically speaking, the monster’s character is built by combining raw materials from dead and useless body parts; although, secrecy is how the monster’s mental character is built in both the film and book. It made him as a good-hearted fellow, which eventually was turned to a darker side due to the treatment he received from every person who laid eyes upon him. Society rendered his presence nothing but a relentless creature; even his own creator could not tolerate the look of the
The creature’s character and traits change throughout the novel. To begin with, the creature is shocked and ignorant about life and doesn’t understand the simple things that make up a person’s day. He also becomes very upset with the fact that his own creator or ‘parent’ had decided to abandon him and deny his existence. Because of this, the creature acts in an outrageous and ridiculous manner and goes about killing members of Frankenstein’s family and friends. “There was none among the myriads of men that existed who would pity or assist me; and should I feel kindness towards my enemies?
Even after hearing the creature’s tale of his hardship, loneliness, and rejection, Frankenstein still refuses to accept the creature’s request for a female companion, which is its one wish in life.
