a nightmarish tale of parenting, to mothers especially. what can you do with a child like this? it is not your fault that you don't enjoy the pregnancy, that you were a tad depressed, that the child is difficult and refused to bond. that he grew up to be antagonistic, a master manipulator to those who can't see him for who he is - a monster, albeit growing up in the best of environments with loving parents, is a bad seed from good people such as eva and franklin.
i think it is a reminder how tough parenting could get, and on a more grim note, a reminder of how many criminals and killers were raised but good people. there is only so much that environment can do, for there is something more innate at work.
