Raskolnikov and Virginia Tech

"It was remarkable that Raskolnikov had almost no friends while he wasat the university, kept aloof from everyone, visited no one, and haddifficulty receiving visitors. Soon, however, everyone also turnedaway from him. General gatherings, conversations, merrymaking-- hesomehow did not participate in any of it. He was a zealous student,unsparing of himself, and was respected for it, but no one loved him.He was very poor and somehow haughtily proud and unsociable, as thoughhe were keeping something to himself. It seemed to some of his friendsthat he looked upon them as children, from above, as though he wereahead of them all in development, in knowledge, and in convictions,and that he regarded their convictions and interests as somethinginferior." Page 51The way Dostoevsky describes Raskolnikov here reminded me of the massmurderer from Virginia Tech. He was a man who kept to himself justlike Rodya. It's interesting how both of these murderers had suchsimilar schooling experiences. Do past experiences really play a partin situations like this? If so, why did school make Raskolnikov likethis? When Rodya got the letter from his mother, he wanted to killLuzhin, however he ended up murdering Aloyna Ivanovna and Lizaveta.The VA Tech murderer wanted to kill his ex-girlfriend and the man shewas with and he succeeded in doing so, but why would he kill theothers? Rodya and the man who murdered dozens of innocent collegestudents seem to have a lot in common.
