Psychological depth of characters: male.

To understand the characters from our thriller better I've also looked at the male, trying to understand his reasons for aggression towards his wife. Of course, we never know the real reason why he did it and even why males in real world sometimes act aggressively towards their women, however I've read a couple of articles on that subject and here is what I've found:

- 'Some scientists say that domestic violence is a maladaptive byproduct of the husband’s inclination and tendency to guard his wife to make sure that she did not have sexual contact with other men.'

- 'Those, who use violence against their girlfriends or wives just desire to have total control over their loved ones. That's why, before they actually start using physical violence, they are often constantly phoning and text messaging the object of their affections so they know exactly what she's doing at all times, who is she meeting with and what she's wearing.'

- 'Wife-beaters are often obsessively in love with their wives, which makes them even more jealous and controlling — they just don't know the proper way to express it. They most likely grew up in a home where there was violence.'

- 'A batterer will tell himself and his girlfriend that SHE provoked the violence by looking at another guy, wearing a skirt that's too short or not cleaning up the kitchen fast enough.'

- 'Most batterers don't get the treatment they need in order to stop. They don't want help because they believe they are in the right. Furthermore, the beatings are likely to escalate over time.'
