Fanatical Serial Killer

**John Doe** is the main antagonist of the 1995 psychological mystery-thriller film *Seven*.

He is a serial killer bent on savagely punishing those who have committed the seven deadly sins and bring attention to evil in a world that he claims is apathetic.

He was portrayed by Kevin Spacey.

## What Makes Him Pure Evil?

* He tortured five people to death for his seven deadly sins serial killing project:
	1. **Gluttony:** Overfed a man to near death and then finally kicked his stomach to make it burst.
	2. **Greed:** Forced a lawyer at gunpoint to remove a pound of flesh. While he deserved it for letting killers and rapists back on the streets, it’s still an act of murder.
	3. **Pride:** Drove a woman to overdose after cutting her nose off.
	4. **Sloth:** Strapped a man to his bed, malnourishing him for a whole year and cutting off his hand. While he certainly deserved some of it as he was a drug-dealing pedophile, the sheer level of cruelty and suffering the man was put through makes it hard to justify overall. What makes this act even more heinous is that John Doe appeared disgusted by the fact that he was a pedophile, but at the same time murdered Tracy's unborn child once he killed her, making him a hypocrite.
	5. **Lust:** Forced a man at gunpoint to rape a woman to death with a dildo made from a knife.
* Although he spared David Mills' life, he only did it so he could torment him later.
* He murdered a pregnant Tracy Mills out of **Envy** and putting her decapitated head in a box for her husband David Mills to see, which is low even for John as she wasn't sinful in the slightest. He also corrupted Mills by letting him avenge Tracy's death, thus causing him to get arrested for **Wrath**, as well as putting the poor man in a near catatonic state.
	+ It's implied that he raped her too, judging from his "I tried to play husband" line.
* Overall, he is way too sadistic and hypocritical to be the extremist he claims to be, as he despises people who commit deadly sins despite himself displaying a fair amount of wrath (being a serial killer), pride (enjoying being one), lust and envy (raping and murdering Tracy out of jealousy for David's normal life). Even Mills points out John's hypocrisy when he scorns the Greed victim for keeping murderers and rapists on the streets despite being one of each.
