让人想起了槙岛老师，但区别还是很明显的。感觉三三应该是更“高级”的一种形式，不只是自身经历与感情的宣泄，更重要的是思想的宣泄。三三没有被自己的“寂寞”所吞噬，而是希望在追求、实现某种他所认为“应该”但实际却成了“稀有”或“没有”的现实中走向毁灭。《冷血》中的杀手反应的是自身的问题，而三三以及电影《七宗罪》中的杀手主要是社会问题，因为杀手的高智商特性，而让人对他们自身产生兴趣吧。他们是错的，但这个造成不幸的世界则更加糟糕。正视他们，然后改变这个让他们绝望的世界。

The article, printed in The American Journal of Psychiatry (July, 1960), and written in collaboration with three colleagues, Karl Menninger, Irwin Rosen, and Martin Mayman, stateds its aim at the outset:' In attempting to assess the criminal responsibility of murderers, the law tries to divide them (as it does all offenders) into two groups, the "sane" andthe "insane". The "sane" murderer is thought of as acting upon rational motives that can be understood, though condemned, and the "insane" one as being driven by irrational senseless motives. When rational motives are conspicuous(for example, when a man kills for personal gain) or when the irrational motives are accompanied by delusions or hallucinations (for example, a paranoid patient who kills his fantasied persecutor), the situation presents little problem to the psychiatrist. But murderes who seem rational, coherent, and controlled, and yet whose homicidal acts have a bizarre, apparently senseless quality, pose a difficult problem, if courtroom disagreements and contradictory reports about the same offender are an index. It is our thesis that the psychopathology of such murderers forms at lease one specific syndrome which we shall describe. In general, these individuals are predisposed to sever lapses in ego-control which makes possible the open expression of primitive violence, born out of previous, and now unconscious, traumatic experiences.'

'How can a person as sane as this man seems to be commit an act as crazy as the one he was convicted of?'
