- 3204: Sin And Virtue Used In Stephen
- ... hotel, the reality is that "hell" turns out to be the red-lighted town saloon where the Swede is eventually murdered. Another recurring topic in Crane s writing is the responsibility for a man s death. For not acting upon his knowledge of Johnnie s sin (his lying and cheating at the card game), the Easterner is portrayed as a betrayer, with guilt eating him inside. At the beginning, no one at the hotel would discuss fear or death with the Swede. Thus, in repentance on his part, the Easterner comments, "Every sin is the result of a collaboration" (Crane 1645). Indeed, in the end, the conspiracy of silence between the 5 men involved in the murder leads to a brutal result: The Swede "losses fear and gains death" (Solomon 257-258). A rhetorical question is left then for the reader to reflect upon, posed innocently by the Cowboy, "Well, I didn t do anythin , did I?" (Crane 1645). In conclusion, it can ...

- ... Emily willingly accepted her role in the household. The name and the attitudes that Mr. Grierson passed on to his daughter Emily symbolically opposed the change that was going on around them.
