The son left his father for dead, demonstrating a complete loss of morals. During the Holocaust, people demonstrate a loss of morals over little things. Guards threw bread into the wagon with starving prisoners. The emaciated, starving prisoners “were hurling themselves against each other, trampling, tearing at and mauling each other. Beasts of prey unleashed, animal hate in their eyes. An extraordinary vitality possessed them, sharpening their teeth and nails” (101). The prisoners not only show a loss of morals, but become animal-like savages in the process. A son almost kills his own father over another piece of bread. The father cries out: “Meir, my little Mier! Don’t you recognize me….you’re killing your own father….I have bread…for you too….for you too” (101). The old man “mumbled something, groaned, and died. Nobody cared. His son searched him, took the crust of bread and began to devour it.” (101). The son not only demonstrates a complete lack of morals, but also becomes animal- like in the process. The men fighting over small amounts of food lose themselves, showing dehumanization at its finest.

By simply reading the title of the chapter “The Man I Killed,” the reader can already tell that the title is more of a confession, especially when taking into account that the previous chapter was named “Church” and with it only being a variation of the phrase ‘I killed a man’ which can also be interpreted as a claim now that the variation has been pointed out. The overall theme that this text hints at is being frozen in time. This is evident because

Toward the end of the novel, Anton’s final encounter relating to the night of the assault is with his old neighbor, Karin Korteweg. After questioning her about why she and her father chose to place the body in front of his house as opposed to the other neighbors, such as the Aarteses, she replied that her father had said, “No, not there. They’re hiding Jews!” (Mulisch 183). This astonishes both the audience and Anton by providing the final piece to the puzzle they have been trying to solve over the course of this novel. With this revelation, Mulisch also applies the themes of innocence and guilt by exhibiting how these characters were arguably at fault for the death of Anton’s family without actively participating, and “by being in danger, those three people had unknowingly saved themselves and the lives of two others” (184). Mulisch leaves Anton pondering if “everyone [was] both guilty and not guilty? Was guilt innocent and innocence guilty?” (184) to inspire an internal debate within the reader while leaving him or her with a vague and unresolved conclusion to the novel to finalize his application of linking the themes of guilt and

The short story by Ursula Le Guin, is about a flawless utopian society that puts all of its guilt onto the misery of a child who is locked away in a cellar broom closet in order to keep the society in picture perfect condition. (Attebery). One of the literary devices she uses throughout the story is symbolism. Le Guin makes this child carry the burden of the society Omelas symbolic to Jesus because in the Bible, Jesus dies on the cross and takes all of the sins away from the believers. This symbolism shows a moral decay within the society because the burden is no longer casted and saved by written beliefs who promise to take these troubles and cast them away. It is being given to a child who in return can give nothing back. This child didn’t deserve this punishment and Le Guin tells the reader that some people know about the child, but instead of trying to help they just ignore the pain this child endures for them while they live their perfect life. Just like in the Bible, Jesus did so much for his people and his disciples, but when he was on the cross no one came to help him, and his people that he endured so much for just watched him die on the cross. This kid will live the same life that Jesus did toward the end. Everyone will turn and not come to his rescue and the child dies alone in suffering with the burdens of the world.
