His ex-girlfriend considered him a man scorned.
Is "him" the direct object with "a man scorned" acting as the objective complement? Also, is it appropriate to place "scorned" after "man."

2Does this answer your question? When can verbal passives be used in secondary predicates?: << "I prefer/eat my food salted/hot" is an object-orientated depictive construction. >> In your example, 'him' is certainly the DO with 'a man scorned' the object-orientated object complement. // The postnominal positioning of the adjective is literary in style, avveptable in such registers. – Edwin Ashworth Dec 21 '23 at 16:33

Please do some research before posting. Thank you. Also, this should be on ELL, not here. – Lambie Dec 21 '23 at 16:44
