A Separate Peace by John Knowles does an exceptional job at displaying guilt and it can slowly eat up a person's mind until something happens that is worse than why they were guilty in the first place. Take the character Gene, for instance. His guilt is something that creates an obstacle in the way of admitting his wrongs.
