what if I murdered someone in a fit of rage theme
We are made to imagine what it'd be like to suddenly realize one had murdered another person during a fit of, more or less blind, anger.
Notes
If a person causes someone else's death and it is treated unequivocally as an accident in the story then this theme is not used. However, if the perpetrator has any expectation that they will be tried for murder in a contemporary court, or the like, then this theme likely applies.

| movie: Grand Hotel (1932) | minor | Preysing was arrested after he clubbed Baron von Gaigern to death with a telephone receiver in a fit of blind rage.

The baron had tried to pilfer a pocketbook full of money from Preysing's room. |
