Abstract

A psychopath is defined as a person who has no concern for the feelings of others and a complete disregard for any sense of social obligation. He seems egocentric and lacking insight and any sense of responsibility or consequence. His emotions are thought to be superficial and shallow, if he exists at all. He is considered callous, manipulative and incapable of forming lasting relationships, let alone of any kind of love. It is thought that any emotions which the true psychopath exhibits are the fruits of watching and mimicking other people's emotions. He shows poor impulse control and a low tolerance for frustration and aggression. He shows no empathy, remorse, anxiety or guilt in relation to his behavior. Thomas Harris's Hannibal is a novel that tells about the journey of Dr. Hannibal Lecter, a psychiatrist who is convicted of serial murder, after seven years escape from the maximum security hospital for the criminally insane. He moves to Florence, Italy, changes his name becomes Dr. Fell and has a job as a curator. No one recognizes him because he has done plastic surgery to change his appearance. He kills several people during his escape and he has some characteristics as a psychopath.
