Want a Haircut??

Throughout Coming through Slaughter, Buddy Bolden is portrayed as a strange character which not only is extremely talented, but as well has this psychopath demented side. This is clearly proved by one scene specifically in which Bolden murders Picket in the barbershop. Here is a quotation from page 73 which clearly demonstrates this.
"Right on my head. But i still have the razor and we stand looking at each other. The blood drooling of his chin on to the wet shredded shirt. He takes a quick look at himself in the mirror and the tears just rush out of his face. I am exhausted, sorry for him. Got no anger at him now. I'm finished i'm empty but i cant tell him. What the hell is wrong with me? And Picket's face is hard waiting to come for me, looking around the room." (Ondaatje, pg.73)
Right from the very first part of the quotation, by Buddy saying: "Right on my head. But i still have the razor and we stand looking at each other”, we as readers know that he is in control of the situation since he has the razor and is about to attack. All of a sudden, we see how he kills Picket slowly and although he affirms to be “exhausted, sorry for him” he continues the murder. This part is fundamental for the development on our perspective about Buddy since it definitely shows how he has this double interior identity fight. Somehow, he appears to be good and wants to stop killing Picket, but at the same time he continues doing it. It seems as if some interior force was controlling him and he had so much anger inside that just made him explode. Buddy Bolden is a man who is completely lost in life, and it seems that the only way in which he is able to express himself and be free at last is through music.
Although it sounds really random, this part of the book reminded me a lot of Sweeney Todd and in all the crimes he commits in the barbershop throughout the movie.
