You think every single murderer and violent person has had a bad upbringing?

He was born a psychopath, but what triggered his violence was the murder of his little brother.
Likely but not necessarily. He could've had a detectable and reparable brain defect. Either way, there's no guaranteed that the defect is a birth condition. The mechanism is thus far beyond human comprehension. -

He wasn't born evil. He tells Mark as they're hiding from the cops that he used to be scared too, and "That once you realize that you can do anything, you're free. You could fly. Nobody can touch you." Pretty much alluding to him constantly getting away with things. He was also intelligent, able to talk himself out of situations and manipulate people. He also showed an interest in death, talking about looking and touching dead bodies, deeming it scientific. Also showing spoiled tendencies and the unwillingness to share pretty much led to him being a little psycho killer.

First off, I don't think he was evil, I think he did evil things because he just could not feel for others as a normal child should or he could barely feel for others and so he chose to feel/do evil things, even though he was taught to be good and to do good. I agree that a psychopath does not have a conscience and sociopaths may have a conscience, but it is weak, but just as someone who can not feel pain or only feel slight pain learns to not touch anything hot, a psychopath and a sociopath has the choice of doing the right thing even though he/she can't feel the effects of it/may only feel them a little.

This is interesting because our sense of right or wrong to an extent dictates what we do. I know it does with me. If there is something that makes.me feel guilty if I do it I consider it wrong and won't do it because of the way it would make me feel. Two example are stealing and of course killing. Now when it comes to swearing and using the f word I feel nothing when I do it so I continue the behavior. I had someone tell me that it's wrong to swear and I said I don't feel guilty about so I don't stop. Don't get me wrong I don't swear in social situations where it would be considered highly inappropriate.

The Elijah Wood character actually states flat-out that he's probably 'just evil', so Don't know what to tell you. He's just evil.
In real life, serial killers exibit a lot of the same behaviors, and it's because they are just sociopathic. There isn't a 'why'. -

Pretty simple I think
He was the first born, and he wanted it all.
He didn't want to share his parents love with his brother and sister
It happens
1st born is a favorite, last is always the baby, anything in between is in the way.
Some first born create a resentment towards others
