Since Sasuke is a very misunderstood character, I will answer some of the frequently asked qestions about him.
Q. Why is Sasuke so mean?
A. Sasuke suffered a lot of pain and trauma in his past. He feels misunderstood and alone and can't really interact well with others.

Q. Why did Sasuke betray Konoha and join Orochimaru to get more power?
A. Itachi made Sasuke's life all about revenge. At first he thought if he was a ninja in Konoha he would eventually get his revenge. However when Itachi said he was more interested in Naruto (Sasuke didn't know yet that Naruto was a Jinchuriki), when he lost to Itachi, and when he saw the power of Naruto's Rasengan, he started to get angry and realize that he couldn't get his revenge while staying in Konoha.

Q. If Sasuke cares about Itachi, shouldn't he want to fulfill Itachi's wish and defend Konoha rather than destroy it?
A. It is because Sasuke loves Itachi that he wants to destroy Konoha. Obito made Sasuke believe that Konoha coerced and drove Itachi into a corner and left him with no choice but to destroy the Uchiha clan. In other words, he feels that Konoha forced the person he loved most to kill his entire family while they lived peacefully at the cost of the lives of Itachi and the Uchiha.

Q. If girls hit on Sasuke all the time, why doesn't he respond. Does that make him homosexual?
A. As I said earlier, Sasuke's pain and trauma took away his ability to interact with others. Even when he was on team 7 and Taka, there was always a barrier between him and his teammates.

Kishi kind of already answered these throughout the story, so I don't know why people misunderstand the character. Still dislike Sasuke though. After the Itachi fight my liking him just got worse and worse.

Great thread! I'd just like to add though that Sasuke's circumstances don't really justify his actions. I know you never claimed they did, but I felt the need to mention this. Naruto and Gaara had rough circumstances as well, but they live for others. At this point, it seems Sasuke lives only for his self given that I consider a path of vengeance selfish.

Everyone has had their time of saving. If Sasuke wasn't so unstoppable maybe someone could have saved him.

I agree. I was just explaining his emotions. Personally it's his selfishness that makes him interesting to me.

People who hate fictional character either never had a good childhood to start with or who never got to be as cool as that fictional character.

Its very well thought out and there is no question that Sasuke's life has been pretty bad but the same can be said for many other characters in the show. Like the others said there is no excuse for his actions.

But as I said before your analysis is very well thought out.

I always thought of Sasuke as an interesting villian however, he represents just how bad people can get if consumed by revenge or at least thats my view of him.

I think Sasuke's "selfishness" is a tad too inflated. Even Naruto admit that he could have easily taken the same path Sasuke did. This is one example:
