Sociopaths in film: Paper Towns?

From a reader:

Hello, I've been a reader on your blog for a while now and find it mostly very insightful, so thanks for that. I'm writing because I just saw the movie Paper Towns (haven't read the book) and I found the character Margo quite relatable. If you aren't familiar with the story it's just a teen coming of age story about a boy who likes a girl (Margo) and decides to chase after her when she leaves unexpectedly. Margo growing up in the movie had few friends, and ran away from home five times on impulse. She would also always leave clues just to toy with the people she left behind. Later during high school she seemed to act quite impulsively, and liked to live on the edge as she described it. When she found out her boyfriend cheated on her she had no problem cutting off him and her friend group, getting a quick revenge, then leaving town again. 

At the same time she was dragging along an old childhood friend who is the main character of the story, and just seems to use him for the poetry of him being her first and last partner in crime. She also tells him that she thinks Orlando is a "paper town" and the people are paper, basically she means that she doesn't think anything of them. She also talks about how she just created a persona of herself for everyone to know and like. Then she leaves again, and the whole coming of age teen thing plays out while the boy follows the trail of clues and finds her. But in the ending when he finds her she seems surprised to see him simply because she didn't think he'd come looking. Then they have a romantic moment, but he ends up returning to Orlando and she just continues with her own adventure. 

Overall the movie was so-so, but I found this character of Margo most interesting. So after the movie I realized from relating myself to Margo that she might be a sociopath. I don't know if the author had that intention when creating the character, but I definitely think she has quite a few traits of one. I was wondering if you had seen this movie and had any thoughts on it? If not, I think it's worth watching to analyze the character.

  1. I know two Sociopaths who are in a kind of limbo.
    Neither one of them are has happy as they proport to be.
    One's name is M.E. Thomas. The other's name Casey Anthony.
    Each can do for the other, what they can't do for themselves.
    Hum. Maybe they should get together.

    1. Thank you for making my wish true Dr Osauyi I was totally devastated when Hill left me. It was like all my world vanishing into sorrow and pain. But your kind words when I first emailed you gave me hope. I felt how sincere, honest and authentic you were from your first email. I know it sounds weird but out of all the casters I contacted, you were the only one to give me that impression of being so true and caring. More than your words, it’s the fantastic work you accomplished for me that I will keep in mind. You brought my lover back and you made all my wishes come true. He’s now loyal, pays attention to me, he offers me flowers every Sunday, and we often go out at the cinema or at the restaurant. I will be forever thankful for turning my life from hell to heaven!” Patricia, USA. You can contact Dr Osauyi for any help via email Osauyilovespell@yahoo.com or Telephone number +2347064294395

  4. Margo definitely has many of the traits of a sociopath. The movie's pretty average, but it is a good character analysis of a sociopath for those interested.

  8. I'm very excited sharing this amazing testimony about how i save my marriage and get my husband back today, My name is Becky Miller , I live in Los Angeles, California, I'm happily married to a lovely and caring husband ,with three kids. A very big problem occurred in my family seven months ago,between me and my husband .so terrible that he took the case to court for a divorce.he said that he never wanted to stay with me again,and that he didn't love me anymore.So he packed out of the house and made me and my children passed through severe pain. I tried all my possible means to get him back,after much begging,but all to no avail.and he confirmed it that he has made his decision,and he never wanted to see me again. So on one evening,as i was coming back from work,i met an old friend of mine who asked of my husband .So i explained every thing to him,so he told me that the only way i can get my husband back,is to visit a spell caster,because it has really worked for him too.So i never believed in spell,but i had no other choice,than to follow his advice. Then he gave me the email address of the spell caster whom he visited.{salvationlovetemple@gmail.comm}. So the next morning,i sent a mail to the address he gave to me,and the spell caster assured me that i will get my husband back the next day.What an amazing statement!! I never believed,so he spoke with me,and told me everything that i need to do. Then the next morning, So surprisingly, my husband who didn't call me for the past seven 9 months,gave me a call to inform me that he was coming back.So Amazing!! So that was how he came back that same day,with lots of love and joy,and he apologized for his mistake,and for the pain he caused me and my children. Then from that day,our relationship was now stronger than how it were before,by the help of a spell caster.

  11. TREMENDOUS AND WONDERFUL THINGS THAT HAPPENED IN MY MARRIAGE
    Hello everyone out here, am here to tell the world how a spell caster brought my husband back Home, i never thought that spell casters are real, until my husband left me. My name is Serena Williams, i work and live in UK, i got married to my husband 12 years ago, we have 3 kid together, we never have any misunderstanding all this years we lived happily,but all of a sudden he changed and started treating my kids and i very bad, later he stooped coming home, he dose not come home at least month, this really bothered me.

    I was browsing through the net one day when a came across on how Lord Micheal saved a woman called Mandy Diana marriage, i aid let me give him a try on this, i never believed in spell casting before i thought that they were all scam, when i contacted him, he told me not to worry that he will help me, surprisingly he told me that my husband will come back to me in the next 24 hours, with a heart full o doubt, it was a shock that my husband came back to me and started begging that he is sorry, and now we are happy once again. Thank you LORD MICHEAL, and if you are going through this kind of problem, here is his email LORDMICHEALSPELLCAST@GMAIL.COM.He can help you solve your problem.Thank you LORD MICHEAL for restoring my marriage.
