You know a pattern i've noticed in Adam's writings? He almost always type "I" in uppercase instead of writing it as one normally would. I wonder if that little quirk of him has any relevance, especially when you take into account how he had such a "megalomaniacal" outburst at the time of his attack - cursing people out and whatnot. Perhaps he "asserting himself" indeed was a big part of why he did it? The weird thing is: For him, the very concept of power was a "pathetic" thing.
(In the picture above you can also see some examples of his aforementioned quirk).
Thoughts?

Capitalizing the I when referring to oneself is just the grammatically correct way of doing it.

For what it's worth, your english is otherwise so good that I assumed you were a native speaker.
