Well, in general, if we were to hypothetically analyze it, a sociopath in an 'erotic story' might be depicted in a very distorted way. Sociopaths in real life have serious issues related to how they interact with others. But in such a fictional and inappropriate context, it might just be used to create some sort of 'edgy' or 'taboo' narrative which is not a proper way to represent mental health conditions.
No. Naruto in the original series is a character full of positive traits like determination and kindness. While fanfiction can take different turns, most fan-authors still try to stay true to his core nature and not make him a sociopath.
One of the well - known ones is 'American Psycho' by Bret Easton Ellis. It delves deep into the mind of a yuppie serial killer, Patrick Bateman, presenting a disturbing yet fascinating look at his sociopathic tendencies, excessive consumerism, and the emptiness beneath the surface of the high - society life he leads.
One sign is a lack of empathy. They don't seem to care about the feelings of others in the family. For example, they might laugh at someone's misfortune. Another sign is manipulative behavior. They will often lie or deceive family members to get what they want. Also, they may have a disregard for rules and social norms within the family, like constantly breaking family agreements without remorse.
One aspect of 'Story of a Sociopath: A Novel' could be the psychological study it presents. It may take the reader through the development of sociopathic traits in the character. Maybe the story starts with the character's childhood, showing early signs of this disorder, like cruelty to animals or lack of emotional response to others' pain, and then progresses to how it affects their adult life.
It's possible that in some very niche or dark fanfictions, Naruto Shikamaru could be presented as a sociopath. But this is a huge deviation from his canonical character. In the original series, Shikamaru is known for his laziness on the surface but deep down he has a strong sense of duty and connection to those around him. Fanfiction writers may use the idea of him being a sociopath to add an edgy or different perspective, but it goes against the essence of who he is in the official story. For example, his relationships with Naruto, Choji, and others show his capacity for friendship and loyalty, which is the opposite of sociopathic behavior.
Yes, in some fanfiction, Harry can be portrayed as a sociopath. This might be due to certain plot twists where he has endured great trauma, like the loss of his parents in a more extreme and dark way. It could also be an exploration of how power and isolation in the wizarding world could potentially warp a person's personality, turning them into someone who lacks empathy, which is a key trait of a sociopath.
Manipulation is another theme. Sociopaths are known for being manipulative, and Azula is already a very manipulative character in the original series. So in fanfics, this aspect can be explored further, like how she manipulates those around her to achieve her goals.
