penetration‚ since after the blow many sexual actions take place. The line‚ “Her thighs caressed/By the dark webs” is both soft and evil. “Caress” is a peaceful movement that usually describes a loving motion.

Throughout Michael’s life‚ detailed in Can You Call a 9-Year-Old a Psychopath?‚ Michael can go day to day ranging between fits of absolute primitive‚ horrific rage‚ only to be immediately followed up by a calm‚ albeit cold‚ adult-like demeanor.
