誇 (boast) 大 (big) 妄 (senseless) 想 (thought)In Anthrax Scientist’s E-Mail, Hints of Delusions
New York Times, August 6, 2008
"These e-mail messages and dozens of others are a central element in the case the Federal Bureau of Investigation laid out on Wednesday against the man they say is responsible for the anthrax attacks that killed five people and panicked the country. They provide glimpses into the personality of a man obsessed with a sorority that he first encountered while an undergraduate, asserting in an e-mail message that the women’s group was waging a “fatwah” against him."
"Dr. Ivins composed poems — scripted to the nursery rhymes “Hickory Dickory Dock” and “I’m a Little Teapot” — about having two personalities. And he went on what he called “mindless drives” to mail gifts and letters anonymously, the document said, and then “set back the odometer in his car” to fool his wife."

Character 妄 has misogynistic roots.
It depicts a woman crouching, destroyed and lost, off the right path.
