	~ The reason Beverly Hofstadter is never proud of her children

Dr. Beverly Hofstadter is a famous neuroscientist, author of psychiatric books, and the overarching antagonist of The Big Bang Theory.

She is played by Christine Baranski.

Personality

Beverly's overly analytical nature turned her into a cold and bitter woman, who diagnose the behavior or neuroses of those to whom she's speaking while breaking them from the inside. She's completely lacking of empathy, as shown when her analysis of Penny's relationship with her father prompts Penny to burst into tears within minutes, but Rather than attempt to console Penny, Beverly merely continued to psychoanalyze her.

Her cruelty and blindness to other people's feelings seems driven less by sadism and more by the fact she tend to force clinical analysis on people around her, distantly insulting and abrasively mocking people around her before using psychological jargon to distance herself from the antagonism which she has created. She see not problem, or even any moral faults, in humiliating and belittling people around her.

Despite her high intelligence, Beverly's extremely arrogance and narcissism makes her very ignorant at times. Leonard's multiple attempts to have a mother-son relationship with her are interpreted by her as absurd and unnecessary, even an Adipose complex. Beverly also insensitively rebukes Leonard's attempts to impress her, or even communicate with her at all. She also have the bad habit of projecting her own narcissistic personality disorder into Leonard, and overall blaming him for her own faults.

Perhaps the most prominent example of Beverly's extreme ignorance is represented by her own husband, Alfred. Despite being just as accomplished and brilliant as her, she showed just as little emotion to him as she did toward their son Leonard, which eventually led Alfred to have an affair with a more loving and caring woman. Beverly showed a self-righteous rage about their inevitable divorce, believing they went to separate ways before of Alfred's affair, refusing to acknowledge her own emasculating and misanthropic behavior that led to the end of their relationship.

with all of her faults and psychopathic nature, Beverly showed a true bond with Sheldon Cooper, Leonard's friend and roommate. She had no such bond with Leonard himself, but their reconciliation in the final season showed that deep down, Leonard's respect and acceptance were important to her.

Trivia

• As the direct responsible for most of Leonard's misfortune, from unsolved self-esteem problems to hang out with underappreciating people, Beverly is ultimately the heavy of the whole The Big Bang Theory franchise.
• Beverly is based on Sofia Lamb, as both looks almost the same, and while not sadistic, are abusing toward their protagonist children. However, unlike Sofia, Beverly have an honorable side and genuine connection to a selected few.
