The truth of the matter is, we really don't know. I wouldn't categorize her as psychotic because she doesn't fit the bill. She doesn't have false beliefs that are not based in reality nor is she hearing, seeing, or feeling things that are not there. She knows exactly what she's doing. She's just trying to figure out how to get to that point. And, well, she maybe psychopathic, but there's just as a high percentage if not higher that she isn't. Psychologists actually are arguing about psychopathy and what it is and what personality elements should be included in its definition. If the experts are having a hard time figuring it out, how are we supposed to know. The truth of the matter is we don't. She may have certain behavioral characteristics that fit in within the current psychopathic definition, but we still can't say that she's a psychopath because all we're given is the witness and stories told of her bad actions. We were lucky to get a bit of back story from Scratch (thank you Kc!!!) that wasn't inherently shown in a negative light. But I'm afraid those moments will be few and far between. But it is understandable why she's accused of it because psychopathy tends to be used as a label for people we do not like, cannot understand, or construe as evil. And I understand why people hate her. Heck, the only villain I loathe is Iago from Othello, and I wanted to take a knife and run him through. But I just can't see Scratch in that manner.

    Sorry for the long post. I just wanted to add my 2 cents.
    I'd say closer to sociopath. My 2 cents. I hated Iago, too. Jafar should have killed him. Wait...

    Scratch isn't psychotic or sociopathic/psychopathic. People throw those terms around when what they really want to say is they don't understand why someone would violate a social norm. It's a way of saying "We believe x, y and z; right guys?" and everyone can agree that that person isn't following the rules and so affirm what the rules are.

    Scratch has survived under very different rules than you or I.

    I don't know about terms or what actions and qualifications she has to meet to be called a sociopath or psychopath but all I know is that she is unstable. She kills for the slightest reason, and as Lizzy said, sometimes for no reason at all. She's crazy in my book.

    I don't think you read the Evi's post very carefully.

Of course, others will disagree, which is fine.
    I see where your coming from, but, did u ever think that maybe he has a psychological problem, kinda like the movie castaway with Wilson the volleyball?
    . Maybe he believes or somewhat believes that shirley(the desert eagle) is in fact shirley(his deceased wife)
