Patrick Jane's Problems with Authority
On the show there are two specific situations you can expect Jane to get excited about. The first is when he comes across a performer or another con artist, someone who is also in the craft of fooling people. No matter how skilled or clumsy that person is, Patrick is always intrigued. He likes to view the competition. He always perks up when he smells a scam. It’s endearing.
The second situation is when Jane encounters a petty tyrant available for him to take down. It doesn’t matter how small the throne they sit on, if they’re in any way unworthy, he views it as his honor to kick over that chair and laugh.
It’s not just once in a while. It’s every time. Every tyrant. Every politician, principal, CEO, security head, or society snob. They don’t have to get in Patrick’s way or insult him (or Lisbon) either, although if they do, he strikes like a mongoose. No mercy.
youtube
Patrick Jane hates authority. He really does. He especially hates unearned authority, blowhards, and tyrants, but he does not recognize any authority over himself at all. As he tells the sheriff in Red Alert (3x13): “I’m not below or above, I’m to the side.” He sees himself outside the hierarchy, an authority to himself and the only authority over himself. If he cooperates at all, it’s only because it’s in his best interest to do so. Sometimes, even when it is in his best interest, his impulse to be a pain in the ass wins out over practical concerns.
youtube
As far as Lisbon goes, she doesn’t control him, and his affection and care for her is the only reason he occasionally lets her put the brakes on him. Not because she’s his boss (she is, but he doesn’t acknowledge it), but because his messes get her in trouble, and he doesn’t want her to suffer.
Outside of the people he interacts with regularly, Jane has three basic approaches to people.
AUTHORITY FIGURES
Any person in authority, he automatically begins to try to poke at their achilles heel. He’ll make little mocking digs or outright humiliate them. He’ll question their leadership ability or just embrace his naughty side:
youtube
See that flourish? Jane artistically adds it after he paints the last letter in “SNYDER SUCKS"? That’s a fuck-you flourish. The vandalism is enough to get him the principal’s attention (which Jane needs to expose the fact that he’s been illegally surveilling minors in the bathrooms). The message is one of (Patrick’s usual) disdain. The flourish, though: that’s for every kid who’s had to deal with this self-righteous, hypocritical prick. He’s sticking it to the man, almost literally.
He just loves to do this. It’s not work for him, it’s a privilege.
REGULAR PEOPLE
When Jane questions average people who are not authority figures and who have information to give, he’s sort of a neutral version of himself. He can still be bratty, but it’s not in any way malicious. Sometimes he has to stir people up to get an answer or idea, but there’s nothing personal in that. He doesn’t want to hurt them or help them. He’s just doing his job, and often that’s making trouble to cause a distraction or get someone to reveal something.
Jane was trained from birth to view regular non-carny people as marks, and it’s still a habit. He doesn’t get involved, and he doesn’t feel guilty about how he interacts with them as long as he doesn’t really hurt them.
THE VULNERABLE
This is the facet of Patrick Jane’s character that is the most interesting to me: his care and tenderness with people who are hurting or are weak in some way. I’ve read commentary online from people questioning whether Jane is a psychopath or a sociopath, but I don’t think that you can view how he interacts with children, injured or sick people, and anyone who is vulnerable and call him incapable of empathy. He’s capable of enormous empathy.
He has a personal understanding of grief and pain, and when he sees it in others, he softens. He doesn’t hug people, but he will give them careful, useful advice. Occasionally he will do little favors, like a quick hypnotism to help them break a bad habit, or show them his real self and what he’s learned through suffering.
youtube
Interestingly enough, he will change his approach when he sees someone get downgraded from authority figure to a vulnerable person. He does this with Bosco once he’s injured, and he also immediately drops his desire to toy with the coroner, Dr. Steiner, who has shown him outright disdain in the past (and present!). In The Red Mile (3x18), as soon as Jane comes to understand that Steiner is sick, he goes out of the way to give him what he knows he needs: a front row seat to an adventure, breaking the rules to catch the bad guy personally. He also gives Steiner the great gift of sitting with him and distracting him while he’s committing suicide, though it clearly costs him to see death come and take another person he’s grown to like.
Jane takes pity on Lorelei Martins after he understands what Red John has done to her, even though she tried to hurt him and engineer Lisbon’s death.
It’s easy to see Patrick Jane as cool or funny or even cruel, but the reality is that he has experienced a ton of loss and trauma and that’s permanently altered the way he relates to people and how he sees them. Ultimately, I think the reason that he has so many problems with authority is because his father was very abusive and controlling. Every petty tyrant Jane takes down is a proxy for his father and a win for his younger self. He is taking back control for all of the times he couldn’t when he was vulnerable and had no other options.

The Impact of Being Chosen - The Mentalist Season 1
What does being chosen over and over above everything that a good person values do to Patrick Janes's self worth over time?
Season 1 demonstrates significant character growth for both Jane and Lisbon. Like everything in this show it's subtle - shown, not told, and perfectly in line with their characterization.
In the flashback in 5x05 (Red Dawn), Lisbon sees what Jane can do as potentially very useful to her team and offers him a way to use his skills that can help instead of exploit people. Jane views her as an objectively good person, so when she continues to like and respect him even as he slowly reveals his sins and weaknesses like his mental break down (Red Brick and Ivy), he can begin to internally resolve his painful past.
In 1x11 (Red John's Friends) Jane quits the CBI when ordered not to pursue a Red John lead, and Lisbon and the entire team ignore Minelli's orders to focus on helping Jane. Hunting a serial killer fits within Lisbon's personal mission, but she chooses Jane over obeying the rules and risks losing her job and put her career in jeopardy - even though she thinks he's being played.
Jane's realizes her sacrifice and his trust grows. In 1x17 (Carnelian, Inc.) he realizes that this trust isn't reciprocated, and he makes a point of telling her directly that she can trust him, he will be there for her no matter what, and he wants her to know this.
youtube
We see them begin to work more in sync as the trust grows. Lisbon begins taking greater roles in his stings, and they start communicating wordlessly. The writing shows this in 1x21 (Miss Red) when they come to the same conclusion about where the body of the missing businessman is - under water on the anchor of his boat.
In 1x23 (Red John's Footsteps) Lisbon calls Jane out for his suicidal focus in catching Red John, say that there are people who need him and he should stop being selfish and childish. As an indirect result of their increasing trust and understanding, he involuntarily chooses to save Lisbon by shooting and killing his only viable Red John lead, Sheriff Hardy, when he pulls a gun on her. This action shows that he again has ties to living - he now subconsciously values something as much or more than his quest for revenge.
That's significant growth for Jane over the course of a season, and it's the direct effect of being chosen and valued. Lisbon rarely verbalizes this, but the choices she makes and the things she's willing to risk for Jane tell him that he's worth something to her (and to the team as well).
This is incredibly important to a man who is highly sensitive and reactive to being mocked or denigrated and impacts his choices moving forward.
