Their circumstances? So they have to rob and murder people? Is society forcing them into it?

To an extent, but there's also a cycle of abuse of the family pushing its members to take up the family business as a way of justifying the crimes already committed Which is part of what makes the story tragic

The whole thing Rand supposedly liked about Hickman is that he didn't care what anyone else thought and just did what he wanted because he had such a strong soul Okay then That means in his case, everything he did really was his own fault
