I know it's sad that i am replying to my own post....but I just wanted to add for any of those who do ...a small question. For those of you who haven't seen it...and don't want the ending spoiled...don't read on!
I am reading Crime and Punishment for school and there are obviously some definite parrallels. My question is, what do you think would happen if it turned out that Donnie was not one of Nietzche's super heros? In Crime and Punishment, Raskolnikov takes on the same sort of role as superhero, but then it turns out that he is not one, and he has to live life knowing that he did a bunch of horrible stuff and it didn't benefit anyone. Would we consider Donnie insane? Do you even think Donnie is insane? (I don't!)
