Thomas Hewitt
"You both have a baby"
Here are its key features:
---
1. Infantilism / a child in an adult's body
Thomas remains emotionally and mentally at the level of a small child.
He does not understand that his actions cause pain or death — he does what his family "tells him", like a toy or a tool.
In some scenes, he's even afraid of being punished if he does something "wrong," like a little boy who's scared of his parents.
---
2. Deep attachment to family
Family is his only source of support, even if it is abusive.
He does everything he is told: kill, torture, wear masks — because otherwise he will be punished or rejected.
He is often portrayed as just a "performer" rather than an initiator of atrocities.
---
😔 3. Isolation and loneliness
Thomas doesn't know the outside world. He does not communicate with other people, did not study, did not have friends.
His mask is a shield from the world, his way of "being someone else."
He shows awkwardness, fear, and aggression if someone gets too close to him—especially strangers.
---
🔪 4. Uncontrolled aggression (under stress)
If he is scared, provoked, or sees a "threat to the family," he becomes extremely dangerous.
In a state of rage, he acts reflexively and extremely cruelly, without empathy or regret.
This is not anger in the usual sense, but rather a panicked, primitive reaction: to run or attack.
---
🎭 5. The search for identity
He doesn't know who he really is, and therefore "puts on other people's faces."
The mask helps him to "become" someone else - for example, a mother, the head of the family, a "good boy."
This may be perceived as a form of dissociative identity disorder (not clinically confirmed, but visually similar).
---
❤️ 6. Potential for empathy (in rare moments)
Thomas is able to show empathy, especially for those who do not harm him.
There are scenes where he hesitates before killing or even defends a person.
This makes him not just a villain, but a victim of circumstances, a broken psyche, and isolation.
