: Re: Antagonist lacks motivation - where do I find it? My triller has an Antagonist who is classified as a sociopath and narcissist. He becomes infatuated with my MC who is an Ex-Army sergeant making

"... the event that triggered his sociopathy and what could motivate him to do what he does ..."

Questions to ask yourself:

Do you have sociopaths in your life? (if so talk to them)
Do you have sociopathic tendencies? (if so have a word with yourself)
Do you have an interest in sociopaths? (if not why are you writing
about one?)
Do you see the benefits of being a sociopath? (if so use
this to inform your writing)
Do you wish for all sociopaths to die? (if so see question two)
Does every effect need to have a cause in this lifetime? (if not don't worry too much about motivation - concentrate on colouring in your story as it is - and don't be afraid to stray outside the lines every now and again).
