Cluster A

1. Schizoid Personality Disorder (e.g. Belle from Beauty and the Beast)

a. Belle is a beautiful, independent and headstrong bookworm who is unfairly ostracized by

the other inhabitants of her little French village simply for being "odd."
b. She ends up befriending and falling in love with a beast before she knows he's secretly a
human prince under a spell. In reality, Belle would have probably preferred he stay a
beast and all his servants stay candlesticks and clocks, though she'd never admit it.
c. Belle is pursued throughout the film by Gaston, who wants to marry her, and while her
staunch refusal to entertain any of his advances only because he is handsome seems
admirable, she is more likely exemplifying the quintessential behavior of someone who
has no interest in sex at all.
d. Belle develops a relationship with a beast instead of a man. In addition, her friendships
with anthropomorphized teacups and footstools are stronger than any she's ever had with
a human (outside of her father).
e. The seclusion of the castle along with the nonhuman inhabitants and a relationship with a
beast that isn't a sexual threat is like a dream for anyone with schizoid personality
disorder.

2. Schizotypal Personality Disorder (e.g. Willy Wonka from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory)

a. I am the maker of music, the dreamer of dreams! He believes that all dreams can be
followed, even dreams that are impossible.
b. Half the words he uses are made-up and he uses phrases like Oh, my sainted aunt!
c. Children are turning into candy bits in his factory, and he has absolutely no problem
with this. No concern, no fear, no awareness.
d. This goes without saying. The purple suit and hat are just the tip of the iceberg. He
lives in a chocolate factory
e. His social life is limited to Oompa Loompas
f. He avoids social interactions with people his own age at all costs. He has an easier
time interacting with children

3. Paranoid Personality Disorder (e.g. Flounder from The Little Mermaid)

a. Flounder has this personality disorder because in the beginning of the movie when him
and Ariel are exploring the shipwreck, he is constantly looking behind them, and
worrying about how they shouldn't be there and thinking something bad is going to
happen when he has no reason to.
