Summary Of Schmar Fratricide
According to the story of ¨A Fratricide¨to my point of understanding, Schmar, the killer, who took up his post near the place where his brother, Mr. Wese, the victim walks near his office. Schmar carries a weapon, and a long knife which he holds in his hand for a mision he had in mind against Mr. Wese. In this story, we can see a prodigious character of Pallas, a passive observer who witnesses the entire scene and whose intervention might have saved Wese's life but i wonder what he was thinking at that point in time. Mr. Wese's wife, whose name is Julia, is also mentioned in the story: she is said to be waiting for him because he comes home late at night.
While the killing process was going on, Pallas, a neigbourhood, watches Schmar murdering

It explains to me that It´s such a painful thing to watch your neighbour die before your own eyes, I think he should have called Sherif when the incident was about to happen knowingfully well according to the story that Schmar is a murderer.
The Quote on Fratricide is Kafka, F. (n.d.). “Wese! You will never see Julia again!”. In A Fratricide.
Paraphrasing “Wese!” shrieks Schmar, standing on tiptoe, his arm outstretched, the knife sharply lowered, “Wese! You will never see Julia again!” And right into the throat and left into the throat and a third time deep into the belly stabs Schmar’s knife.
“Wese!” scream Schmar, standing on a balance position, his branch outstretched, the knife sharply lowered, “Wese! You will never set your eyes on Julia again!” And right into the throat and left field into the throat and a third time deep into the stomach twinge Schmar’s knife.
Kafka, F. (n.d.). A Fratricide.

    Kill Zaroff; it was quite clear. If he wanted this to end - this 'game' - death of his oppponent would be the only option. He could do it, he figured, with a bit of skill.

    Jack’s barbarous side is exceptionally highlighted when the hunters go out to make one of their first kills in order to get meat for the rest of the boys. This simple killing of a pig drove once virtuous Jack to savage and insane limits, through the exhilaration, satisfaction, and pure bloodlust he gained from cutting a pig’s throat. This psychotic behavior is obvious when Jack leads the hunters down the mountain after the hunt was over, chanting “‘Kill the pig. Cut her throat. Spill her blood’” (Golding 69). Any sane being would have just killed the pig and gone on; however, that was not the case with these boys. Through the usage of parallelism to put individual emphasis on “kill” and “cut”, Golding shows the dark bliss the boys felt in going through with each morbid stage of killing the pig. The term “spill” has a celebratory feel to it, which further adds to the vicious satisfaction the boys had gotten from ghastly taking this pig’s life. In addition to the wicked words in the chant, Golding uses this situation to highlight the boys’ thirst for evil, the addictive nature of murder, and how it affects them. Moreover, the boys are mentioned to have been wearing face paint when hunting. The mask of…

    They asked for a volunteer to perform the task, and I gladly accepted.” Standing too far away for his daggers to be effective, although easily remedied very quickly, Nightburn could only smile and laugh at this simplistic attempt on his life. Why he felt so confident, he could not answer, but he knew if the man approached him, the man would die. Agitated by Nightburn’s demeanor, the man stepped forward, daggers raised. Instinctively raising his hand, everything froze, and totally incognizant of how he accomplished such a feat. Rising from his chair, he walked around the room and observed that nothing moved, even the flames of the oil lamps stood perfectly still. He walked to the door and opened it to see Sara stopped in mid-stride halfway down the corridor, then turned back to his room, noticing the clock pendulum had also stopped in mid-swing. Most curious, he thought, time had stopped and he didn’t know how he had achieved this or how he would correct it. Walking over to the would-be assassin, he studied his armor more closely, certain that he had not seen the emblem he wore or the knight in the castle before tonight as he carefully removed the daggers from his hands. With a swift slash to the neck, he ended his life, although no blood flowed from his wound nor did he fall or feel the fatal…
