Serial killers drive has been debated since people have started studying them, But there are a few commonalities in which they do agree upon. And the first is the sexual drive for which they murder. They might say it differently in different research but from what I understood when reading them that killers differ dramatically in what they think is either womanhood or what attracts them to the person. Just because serial killers have differences in the people that they murder does not mean that they dont act and think alike. One of the concerns of serial killers is free will.
Instead of Macbeth directly killing Banquo, Macbeth hired his gang members to act out this murder. By doing this, Macbeth hopes to be plagued lessen from the guilt and sorrow he awaits, and secondly it acts as insurance for Macbeth because if anyone saw the murder they would not see Macbeth thus making him innocent of the
Carlisle article explained that the dark side envelops their personality by the fantasy they were living in subconsciously. Now that the dark side consumed them they start satisfying their urges in reality. His theory is effective because it relates to how the serial killer thinks while they are under their other persona. The psychological theory that Carlisle describes in his article does not contribute to the role of situations and socioeconomic factors in crime. Psychological theory doesn’t explain the social reasons why the serial killer becomes who he is, such as poverty and the people around him creating the behavior of killing tendencies.
The speech sounds as if he is imaging the bloody dagger in his hands before and after the crime and how all this aspects like the three witch prophesize and the dagger are the main reasons that influences his actions and he shouldn’t get blamed for it. Although Macbeth knows that the dagger is an optical illusion, and suspects that it could be brought about by his potentially "heat-oppressed brain" (39), he nonetheless allows the phantom dagger, soon stained with imaginary "gouts of blood" (46), to affect him greatly. The imaginary, based on the sense imagery of "seeing" a knife that he cannot touch, demonstrates Macbeth's indecision about killing King Duncan. Enhancing the ominous and eerie atmosphere of the speech is the use of successive allusions to people and practices which call up images of satanic and evil. Macbeth refers to the dagger as a fatal vision (line 36) because it foreshadows his deadly intent to kill King Duncan.
In Cold Blood VS. Capote The book In Cold Blood, focus’s on the murders committed by Dick and Perry, while in the movie Capote it does not. In Capote the main focus is on Perry. Perry’s character differs in the book from Capote. I feel he portrayal of Perry in the book is better because it is more factual and more descriptive.

The short stories “The Tell Tale Heart” and “The Cask of Amontillado” by Edgar Allen Poe are two stories that are tales of both murder and insanity. The stories take place in different times, the stories are similar. In each of the stories the format of the stories has the narrator explaining why they were forced to commit murder, and while the reasons seem like rather weak excuses to us, the narrators both believe they had valid reasons for their crimes. In the short story “The Cask of Amontillado” the main character Montresor, explains what has happened to his once good friend, Fortunato. Montresor murders him because of some unnamed injustice he has suffered.
The narrator in Edgar Allan Poe’s story “The Tell Tale Heart” is an interesting murderer who kills an old man with whom he lives with. He tells us his entire story very “calmly” as if murder is a casual thing. The narrator’s consciousness is represented by his feelings he encounters throughout the story. The narrator gives us an honest straightforward version of events that occur but does not see the full picture, which forces the reader to read his subconscious desires. The way the narrator tells his story is reliable in the readers’ perspective but when analyzed very closely, he is found unreliable because of his insanity, paranoia and uneasiness, and he is confused about what he really feels and thinks.
