at first
    seems a somewhat sympathetic character, if only because he knows initially that what he is doing
    is wrong. In other words, he is not a psychopath: he has some moral sense.
    If he were a psychopath, we would not sympathize with him. If he were a total victim, he could
    not be a tragic figure. Instead, he is a complicated human being with a complex moral nature,
    although by the end of the play he becomes one of the least morally attractive of all of
    Shakespeare's tragic figures.
