Complete Development Of Mr. Sweeney Todd

This paper explores the complete analysis of the complete development of Mr. Sweeney Todd. Mr. Todd, who once was London’s most skilled barber and loving husband and father, has recently been revealed as an evil mastermind responsible for killing of hundreds; including his own wife and accomplice Miss Lovett. Todd had lured his victims into his shop for “a clean shave”, he would claim, and thereafter slit his victims throats with his shaving razors and thereafter disposed them into the hands of Miss Lovett's bakery. Unsuspecting lovers of the bakery would be presented with goods containing human remains. Todd displays many characteristics of someone with a mental disorder, especially in the sociopathic range.This paper presents a detail look
Todd had never experienced such traumatizing events until he was wrongly imprisoned. Knowing that his wife and daughter were in the hands of such a powerful vile beast left him paranoid and petrified. He was clueless to what would happen to his family and suffered deeply everyday for the past 15 years. Physically, Mr. Todd has always been a handsome and well built man. Although his mental state deteriorated, he still kept his physique. Unfortunately, he did not keep his body well kept for Lucy or Johanna, rather, he wanted to be fully prepared to murder the man that ruined their lives. Always the clever and strong man, he exhibited his capacities when he returned to London and easily murdered his victims.

No attempt from Miss Lovett or from anyone else could clear his clouded mind. He is completely loss in the visions of his shaving razors. Although Miss Lovett sings for him and wishes for an emotional bond, he only ever dissociates and focuses mainly on polishing his beloved

Todd could be seen pushing around Johanna's carriage and showing her around the local gardens. He was absolutely in love with his offspring and would see to it that no harm would come near his sweet angel. It would be impossible for him to be seen as a neglectful parent. Sweeney’s cold dead heart warmed up when he had heard that she was still living after his return. He had spent fifteen years apart from his beloved daughter and only sought a way to bond with her once more. Had they lived a normal life, Todd would have been an authoritative parent for certain.

Sweeney Todd would and has tried to do what he thought was in the best interest for Johanna, but now they will never meet
