half angel, half devil

Stewart is half an angel, a normal devil, just like the tattoos LOVE and HATE on his fingers. He said:

Sometimes I feel like a child of the devil

I put the devil in

I can't get him out now.

I've tried, with fire, with a knife...

he doesn't care

Why would he care

The devil doesn't want to be homeless either! At the end of the film, Alexander asked him, if you could go back to a certain day, which day would you most like to go back to? Stewart, at the end of the film, doesn't resent ignoring his mother, bullying and sexually assaulting his brother and his friends, and the orphanage's administrator, he just thinks he's there because he didn't control the day his violence happened . Although they are at the bottom of the society and weather-beaten, they all have a kind and warm heart. May every Stewart have a person like Alexander to save him and listen to him.
