fatricide

Any witness of the scene would have supposed this ruthless fatricide, this tyrant -- whose intercourse with the visions of a crazed and unbridled fancy made him capable of any folly, and who loved to assume the aspect of a cruel misanthrope -- to be a docile disciple, who cared for nothing but to recover the favor and forgiveness of his master.
