McBeef is kind to his stepson and his stepson responds with anger and hostility. His wife automatically sides against him in their conflicts, etc. Most people said that Sueng-Hui wanted us to relate to Johny, and that it was autobiographical (ie Sueng-hui had been abused). Others have suggested the opposite that McBeef was a stand in for Sueng-Hui and that, the main character finally responds to all the undeserved abuse, with violence. Maybe in a similair way to how Sueng-Hui himself responded to some percieved injustice with violence.
