Diagnosed By The Audience requires that a substantial portion of audiences headcanon a character as having a particular psychological condition.



* DiagnosedByTheAudience: [[TheStoic The Duke]]. He appears to have no real friends and rarely interacts with ''anyone'' else in the film aside from Bess or Georgiana. He's cold, distant and admits several times he's not good at expressing his feelings; while the closest he comes to expressing any emotion (other than anger) is when interacting with Bess' sons and his pet dogs.
