how can you blame him

You can see the cold sweat on your back!
More or less, see ourselves in Ripley. . .
How can you blame him? Change his father, he is dickie, how can he not resent the fancy
clothes, fine wine, Mediterranean sunshine, villas, yachts, self-willedness, and superior arrogance. . . How can you not be red-eyed?
He doesn't love dickie, he loves his position/state/life, he wants to be him, regardless of the consequences, he has no regrets, and he is determined. . . .
Even asking him to cry and kill the only one who loves him. . . Otherwise how? Kill him, be alone for a lifetime, and don't blame him for the only person who loves him when he finds out the truth
. The humiliation he suffered can only be temporarily forgotten by living in the lies he weaved and enjoying the 'proud and confident self'. . .
