2. In your opinion, what do you think about Holmes claiming he was the Devil? Can people be inherently evil (are people born serial killers)?
In my opinion, Holmes claiming he is the devil is a representation of how sick and demented he is as a human being. Throughout the book, Holmes showed little to no remorse for his victims. Instead, he felt a rush of sexual desire listening to their screams of fear and desperation. Holmes claiming he was the Devil is an accurate assumption and representation of who he really is.
Personally, I feel humans are inherently evil, but there is a small window with nurture where parents or guardians can alter the personality of the child for the better. In Psychology, you learn about the Nature Vs Nurture argument.
