parshanut torah comment - Do any commentaries explain the charade that Yosef put the brothers through as done with bad intention?


It seems that over the last few hundred years all the commentators that have written on the subject, and all the darshanim I hear talking about it, take for granted that the entire episode concerning Yosef in Mitzrayim and his treatment of his family was really not what it seems, but rather Yosef was quelling his undying love for them for some deeper purpose.


Are there any commentaries, ancient or recent that explicitly say otherwise? For instance that he really was mad at them and was plotting against them but finally his brotherly love broke through? Or something along these lines.



(Please don't answer that the psukim implicate this. I'm looking for something explicit.)
