Why Justice and Injustice are Sometimes Synonymous
Introduction
• Start out with a basic summary of the characters and preconceived ideas in “The Warden”
• Transition into ideas behind how society, religion, and subjective ideals alter what individual ideas of “justice” are o Consider how the different actions perceived as “justice” in The Warden actually had consequences others could consider unjust.
• Thesis: Despite many good intentions in the world, often, actions taken in the name of justice result in more injustices than intended, leaving one to wonder; how much do individual factors affect someone’s idea of “justice”, or right and wrong?

Eleanor uses love to threaten John Bold, and she really isn’t as angry as the situation reveals (she is mad in the moment). However, due to these threats, John Bold calls for the cease of all actions against Reverend Harding. His supporters may view this as weakness, and an injustice, as he allowed his personal feelings to get in the way of stopping corruption.
• For the last body paragraph, reveal the information of how Reverend Harding’s conscience was negatively affected by the things that were said about him, and how he chose to resign. Most of the town, at this point, does not support the resignation, and in fact condemn it. o Dr. Grantly and Sir Abraham are dismayed, as well as John Bold. After his resignation, he accepts a lower salary to work elsewhere. This presents a justice/injustice crossover like I mentioned earlier and finally all the ideas can be tied together. While Harding was being overpaid, he wasn’t exactly the root of the corruption, nor was he really deserving of the slander he received. At the same time, the intentions of Bold were not necessarily negative, he saw himself as a “purifier” to purge all corruption from the Church and its affiliates. When Bold’s relationship is threatened, he drops all interest in the corruption and regresses to self preservation. Other could see this as an injustice to his supporters and to the church. In the end, when the Harding resigned, little to no real “justice” was doled out in this
