The personality that is developed in the film, it is
evident that from the beginning of the film he wanted to make himself known no matter who was next to him, in order to work on cases that were more important and interesting. The film presents very extreme cases in which knowing how to make a decision is something very relevant, knowing how to accept the information received at all times. He is prone to lose his temper and behave violently when he feels frustrated. Although this does not always serve him well, it also makes him physically courageous and a very stubborn adversary. This is why I believe he is in the vanity winners group, as there are very similar attitudes to those described.
FEAR-LOYAL SKEPTICAL (WILLIAM SOMERSET)
He is a character that in his personality of a very
experienced and efficient homicide detective. He was very intelligent and thorough, always attentive to the smallest details and never missed a clue, in which always his conversations in order to draw an analysis. Although throughout his career he saw so much human suffering in his thirty-seven years in the department, that he has become cynical. This, which is a danger for anyone involved in a police career, is particularly poignant in his case because he is also, by nature, a philosopher. He presents a level of distrust with all people, tries to understand the emotional underpinnings of every deviant act he is forced to witness. LUST-LEADER (JOHN DOE)
He was a cold, manipulative, obsessive, detail-oriented and
cruel to the extreme and with a marked narcissism (he is considered a vigilante who seeks to immolate and culminate his masterpiece of the seven deadly sins), on the other hand it is noted that he was a psychopath who kills by divine order to people who have abandoned any of the seven deadly sins: gluttony, greed, envy, pride, lust, laziness and anger. I consider him in the group of leader because I found many characteristics as he expresses anger for society, the way he manages his strategies and language to achieve his goals.
ENVY- ROMANTIC TRACY (GWYNETH PALTROW).
She was very sentimental and tries not to be a
burden to her husband. At one point in the film it becomes clear that she is not happy to move to the city. The veteran detective becomes Tracy's confidant, whom he meets one day. She confides in him that she is pregnant and has not told her husband, while he confesses his distaste for the city, which he does not see as a good place to raise children. She also tells him that she was on the verge of marriage a few years earlier.
