Y&R... Do you think Adam ment to hurt Ashley

I think that Adam is so blinded by his need for revenge against his father that he will use anyone or anything to get what he wants. He is not a sociopath so he feels remorse, when things go wrong, but he does not stop even though he is hurting the people around him and ultimately himself as he cannot find a way out of this net he has woven himself into, but it is tightening and let's see how far he is willing to go. This is what makes a good villain, if he felt no remorse, no guilt, just a pure animalistic need to hurt then no one could relate to him, but even though he is wrong in what he is doing he seems misguided, manipulative and irrational, but human all the same.
