Besides it, he also has the paranoid personality disorder, the schizoid personality disorder and the obsessive-compulsive personality disorder.The author thinks that these morbid personalities are caused by many factors.Such as his early time's childhood experience, love's flaw, bad growth environment, the rank difference and so on.This thesis, mainly from the psychology angle, empolying the psychoanalysis strategies, explores causes of Clegg's morbid personality and reveals the emotional emptiness and morbid mind of the post-war people.
