Talk:Gabriel Agreste/@comment-10390252-20200114093643

A point made by someone on the SubReddit and I wonder how significant it is: Gabriel is very obviously agoraphobic - He has a fear of going outside and it is also clear that he doesn't like being around crowds or strangers. To what degree does this influence his actions, both as Adrien's father and as Hawkmoth.

After all, if you instinctively react with fear to people, it's easier to be cruel towards them and hurt them.
