Very obviously I feel like this story isn’t supposed to be read as a romance, but more of a killing-stalking/surah’s lover type of psychological drama. Like focusing on how he became a psycho is not to try and really make his current behavior okay but more so to make it clearer that this story isn’t about love or anything like that. So yeah I get ppl saying that « oh his actions still can’t be excused » but that’s lowkey the whole point. It’s meant to be a tragic, sad and violent story full of unfortunate circumstances. Not a « oh he treats the one he loves badly because he was abused poor him ;( » but really about setting the scene for how far a twisted and traumatized mind can go… and illustrating the worst-case scenario ever.
Idk if that makes sense I feel like I’m high key just stating the obvious
