Re: Bellatrix Lestrange

[cupcakery.livejournal.com]

Bellatrix Lestrange is a mission-based killer; however, she is different from the usual classification in that mission-based killers are rarely psychotic. The problem that we face here has to do with her stay in Azkaban, which certainly would have acerbated any prior psychiatric conditions, whether they were underlying or were in plain view. She appears fully in control of herself in the images we've seen in the Pensieve, but that was only a short while.

Given what we have seen of the way pureblood families operate, we can surmise that as a young woman, Bellatrix was expected to do nothing more than to marry and have children that would continue the existence of pureblooded wizards, much like her younger sister Narcissa. As a female child, she would have only had the chance to inherit any of the Black family’s titles and possessions if the male line died out. This existence would not have been neither a very happy one nor one a comfortable one for the likes of Bellatrix. This lack of power within her personal life has translated into her professional (if we presume to think of being a Death Eater as a profession), chosen life, wherein it appears that there is only one who holds power over her - Lord Voldemort. Her own husband appears to be of minor use, barely mentioned, and could simply be there due to the marriage being contrived by others.

I would say that Bellatrix Lestrange is a sadist in the truest form of the word, given the pleasure that she takes in the torture of others, in the power she holds over them, and might well have some hybristophiliac tendencies, given her relationship with Lord Voldemort.
