Sigh, I don't write the script for House Michael, I did say a lot of liberties are taken for entertainment purposes. I certainly wont waste my time on over analyzing something that has come from someones imagination, or perhaps tapping on presenting a charector that gets to express different behaviors that many would like to say under their breath to other people IRL but know enough not to.

Characterization is based on real life experiences and situations. Stories reflect real struggles of everyday life. And analysing characters from a story can be very enlightening and entertaining, hence why character analyses exist.

Have you ever studied Terror Management Theory? I don't agree with many of its core concepts. But it argues that people construct cultural worldviews to give themselves a sense of meaning and belonging, so to speak. This helps them cope with the deep-seated and ever-present fear of death. And people will fight, even kill, to protect their beliefs.
