Why did Lisa hate Daisy?
Why did Lisa hate Daisy?
shareI don't think she really hated Daisy, it was Lisa's mental illness, sociopathy. Sociopaths have consciences (unlike psychopaths) but they're weak. Sociopaths know the difference between right and wrong but feel little to no remorse but can't stop.Sociopaths like psychopaths lack empathy, the ability to stand in someone else’s shoes and understand how they feel. In movies and TV shows sociopaths are usually the villains who kill or torture innocent people. In real life, some people with antisocial personality disorder can be violent, but most are not. Instead they use manipulation and reckless behavior to get what they want.
Sociopaths tend to be nervous and easily agitated. They're volatile and prone to emotional outbursts, including fits of rage. They're likely to be uneducated and live on the fringes of society, unable to hold down a steady job or stay in one place for very long. It's difficult but not impossible for sociopaths to form attachments with others. Many sociopaths are able to form an attachment to a particular individual or group, although they have no regard for society in general or its rules. In the eyes of others, sociopaths will appear to be very disturbed. Any crimes committed by a sociopath, including murder, will tend to be haphazard, disorganized and spontaneous rather than planned.
However in Lisa's case she had formed attachments to Susanna, and Jamie (Georgina's roommate who killed herself); with Daisy (a closet bulimic with laxative addiction) as with many others, she liked to push the boundaries and reach into people seeking their secrets and using that to hurt them as emotionally hard. She used Daisy's addiction to her chickens and the incestious relationship Daisy had with her father as a means to an end. Whether that was to push Daisy towards suicide remains to be seen. Because as Lisa said, 'she [Daisy] was just waiting for an excuse.'
You mustn't give your heart to a wild thing
Actually, sociopaths do not have consciences. If they had one, they cannot be classified as a sociopath.
Lisa was NOT a sociopath, that was revealed in the film. All evidence pointed to her having the same diagnosis as Susanna: Borderline Personality Disorder.
Lisa was also intensely selfish, extremely lonely, and an attention-fiend.

Penfold, shush.
Lisa was a sociopath. When she blew smoke in that one ladie's face on purpose, she knew, but shluffed it off like it was nothing. She was charismatic & twisted. Daisy was like a thing she could screw with. Lisa didn't give two *beep* that Daisy hung herself. She was definitely attached to others though, in her own twisted way.
shareNo, she was cruel & intensely jealous of others.
She did mean things sometimes.
But being cruel at times & not caring about what you just did is not an automatic indicator of sociopathology.
If it was, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US is a sociopath, and we certainly know that is not the case.
Lisa clearly shows she cares for others sometimes. Remember how she used the hand puppet to cheer up one of the very sad patients?
Then also joined with the others to cheer up Polly?
Once more, when she kept the nurse occupied so Susanna & her boyfriend could be alone.
Lisa was a bitch, not a sociopath.

I absolutely think Lisa's character was a sociopath. She used the puppet to control others. She may have played nice to gain control.
She had no conscious and was dangerous to the others.
She had other problems, but had no understanding why she felt nothing towards the end.
Whenever someone else got well, she targeted them. That's why they wanted Susanna drugged her last night. They didn't want her talking to Lisa. She'd get psychotic and try to push others to relapse, or death.
