So, I had forgotten to mention that there was one moment in which Erik cries a single tear upon seeing Christine's performance; while this would indicate some emotional response from Destler, this was later invalidated by him trying to rape Day out of anger of being disobeyed. How much does his freudian excuse hold water? While yes, you could say that he kills out of necessity, there are several murders in which he does either out of plesure, or because people inconvenience him. That, and as I mentioned before, his obsession with Christine isn't mitigating.
