Hi Andrew
It is interesting how different readers interpret things differently. I didn't get any sense of the narrator having murdered his drunken father, rather that his father had banged his head against the kitchen table because he was too drunk to see what he was doing and simply rendered himself unconcious. The assumed that the reason that he was so depressed was probably as a result of his life experiences to-date: the fact that his father was an alcoholic, being sent away to boarding school, his parents divorce not being able to cope with the stresses of university, feeling he didn't belong there and the loneliness of living alone in a bedsit and being unable to take proper care of himself.
