When "Gone Girl," the book, came out, friends
wondered if I'd ever worked with anyone like the main character, psychopath
Amy, aka, Amazing Amy. Not to be confused with the garden variety narcissist,
the psychopath has a much darker side.
The narcissist will exploit anyone for their own gain,
believes in their superiority to others in all things and is vain, self-involved
and infuriatingly entitled…kind of like Amy's husband Nick.
Gillian Flynn's Amy has the hallmark signs of the
psychopath—her outwardly normal appearance masks her utter lack of conventional
morality and the absence of all concern for the welfare of others.
Now that the movie is out, I'm faced with the question
again. In answer I decided to post my own questions, including the important
one everyone asks themselves: Am I as
crazy as Amy? You be the judge.
1. Thought your partner might be cheating and:
a. Looked
through her phone—harmless enough, right?
b. Followed
her— if she's got nothing to hide...
c. Installed
spyware on her phone—she'll never know.
d. All
of the above
