Psychopath vs Sociopath The article refers to the example of the Mr Hyde alter ego character as opposed to the Dr Jekyll character as being a psychopath If I m not mistaken I believe Hyde actually represents more of a sociopathic personality I could be wrong there but this seems to be the case The difference would rest on whether the alter ego was operating in a delusional state of reality or not vs simply being an amoral monster who understands the reality all too well
