John Wilkes BoothI think I have done well, though I am abandoned, with the curse of Cain upon me.
About This Quote
When Cain was banished from his family, he was forgiven and given a new name. He became the first man to kill his brother. It is said that when Cain killed his brother, God was so angry at the murder that he cursed Cain to be afraid of death. The curse would continue with each person Cain would meet.
This meant that everyone Cain came in contact with would die. To this day, people who are cursed by being related to Cain are afraid of being alone or being abandoned.
