  1. He didn't realise he had killed his father until later (because he was adopted) and when he realised that he had killed his father (and slept with his mother) he was so distressed he made himself blind. So killing his father didn't make him a man.


  2. No it was never about that! Reread the book

  3. I dont think that was the point in the first plkace

  4. No, but I guess he wanted to show everyone he was not a punk!

  5. It was an accident, so obviously there was no such intent
