You guys, Eobard is just one of those crazy, obnoxious fans who think that he is #1 on their list. He said it himself "I became obsessed with you (The Flash)" Probably even inspired him to be a professor in the first place. He did everything he could to be like Barry, even going back in time. In the end, his hard work is thown to the wayside. Have any of you have someone, a friend, cousin, father, etc. you looked up to and tried to please them? Now imagine this, you have this idol friend, cousin, father, boyfriend etc. whom you love so much you try to gain their trust, to be their protege. You try everything, get As, try to be funny, anything you think woud make them think you are #1. In the end, it is all for nothing, the person you love for so long, never loved you back. The work for so long was all for nothing. Do you really think you would act differently than Eobard would? He must've had felt like a hard ball full of emotions hit him. He must have felt a truckload of them. Saddness, shock, anger, disbelief, you should never try to act on these emotions, as you can't think clearly and end up doing something you regret. That's what happened with Eobard. He was so mad, he would never be The Flash. He probably did something acting on these emotions. And when he realized he did something wrong, and it was too late to do anything now. He now has to do what destiny told him to do. That's Eobard Thawne in a nutshell, and saves you a lot of comic books and episodes to watch in jsut a paragraph. Basically, Eobard Thawne is a stupid, arrogant fanboy who wants to join a gang.

That's my interpretation, or at least whats left o it. I wrote something like this a lot better of what I was describing right now but it got erased for some reason, so I tried to replicate it. Hope it still looks reasonable and good enough to read. Eobard is a great example that you can look two ways of. He was a great smart professor at the same time he was a derranged villianous murder. I use him a lot in improptu speech, if you know what that is but thank you for reading this!
