All About The Murder

English blog 11/16/11

I think it’s really interesting to see the thought process that this man is going through leading up to the murders he commits in part 2. While the act is pre-meditated, it is clear that something is wrong with the guy’s head and he definitely appears a little crazy. He barely eats at all, he is always commenting on the sickly way he feels, and his thought process does not seem like the way a normal person thinks. Actually, it kind of reminds me of honors. I think that if this guy was put on trial he could definitely get away with pleading insanity, even though the act was premeditated. It was not very organized, tons of evidence was left behind, and he acted totally guilty afterwards. He also thought that it was his civil duty to commit the murders due to his own thoughts and then the quote from another scholar “Kill her, take her money and with the help of it devote oneself to the service of humanity and the good of all. What do you think, would not one tiny crime be wiped out by thousands of good deeds?” If these murders were committed today in the exact same way the killer would be found in no time.
