The idea that 'something bad' happening to an otherwise well-adjusted person can turn them into a psychopath has never been convincing for me; psychopaths are born, not made. However, the path from psychopath to cannibal seems fairly straightforward and reasonable to me.

Were Patrick White's cannibal characters equally convincing?
