User blog comment:Queen Misery/PE Discussion: Sawney Bean/@comment-366087-20191229232842/@comment-2059440-20191229234120

so Sawney just saw his family as a means to manifest his own psychotic view of a "perfect" society? that could well be the case, considering he was a serial-killer.. the problem is more that he grew furious upon the clan being harmed.. though if what you are saying is to be true he could also of been furious because he saw it as a direct attack on himself rather than actual care for his offspring.

the main problem with Sawney is in the legend he was ALWAYS a horrible person, he left society because he did not like living in it but he took a wife with him and the pair would grow worse and worse as they isolated themselves and their kin from society, seeing other humans as prey.. the paradox is that he must of held some feelings for said wife in the first place to literally abandon everything yet keep her around, likewise she must of cared somehow for him if she was going to do similar (of course they were both disturbed individuals).
