Henry's flat acceptance of death, and the fact that he was still planning for the girl next door in the last days of his life was memorable and moving.
If it wasn't for hopeless help, I believe he would not choose to plan murder.
As he told his mother, more terrible than violence is the indifference of bystanders!
No matter how mature and smart he is, he is still a child after all, and he does not have enough experience to fully consider the consequences.
The ending is happy, but it's not the one Henry wrote.
Henry's mother's dependence on her children is the embodiment of love.
