Some may call her the greatest Disney villain of all time but to me she is just plain evil. Not only is she hot-headed like the rest of the Disney villains but she also torments, curses, and tries to destroy everything! Some may think that just because she can transform into a giant fire breathing dragon it makes up for the fact that she captured Prince Phillip and torments him with visions of a horrific future.
Also sending a curse through King Stefan’s kingdom to have her daughter touch a spindle which sends her into a deep sleep.
Maleficent is the definition of pure evil! I mean she destroys anything and anyone that stands in her way. Is she a foul-tempered, violent sadist because she is evil, or is it something more? Perhaps the real truth is that she acts the way she does because she is lonely and pushed aside or maybe that she is mentally unstable.
I believe that Maleficent has borderline personality disorder. Some of the symptoms of this borderline personality disorder are but not limited to: Intense fears of abandonment; Maleficent not being invited to Aurora's christening could have helped that one along some.
Intense anger at perceived criticism or hurtfulness; Maleficent inflicts a curse on Princess Aurora. Obsessive personality and violent mood swings; Maleficent doesn't give up because Aurora is hidden away for sixteen years. She is consistent in her adventure for the princess, being violent to anyone who angers her, and she's a real dragon when she gets really angry.
Perhaps if Flora, Fauna and Merryweather actually dealt with the fact that an evil witch that can turn into a dragon was cursing the kingdom rather than devoting their time to hiding Aurora from Maleficent, things may have turned out very differently.
This article is not to say these disorders are any laughing matter; they are serious mental health issues. This is based on opinion not me diagnosing her.
Until next time. Live, Laugh, and Prosper my friend.
