Or wanting that love? Wanting to be acknowledged and gain power... that's a lofty goal. And there may be more to what he wants.

But is all that realistic? Of course not. Plausible? Yes, but not really. Jafar is clearly abnormal, but that's why I love him. <3 Mmmmmmmh you have a point.

If you put it that way, then you're right: Jafar might just be abnormal and it would make sense. I've never thought of him that way because, while ruthless, he's very lucid in what he does, but his motive might indeed mean he's out of his mind. 'Kay, I can live with that. :P
