The Gathering
Paragraph 1:
Carmody uses the main character (Nathanial) to create a narrative perspective link to the theme good vs. evil. On page 214 Buddha ruthlessly murders Nathanial’s dog (The Tod). The Tod was killed by being covered in kerosene and then set alight. “The match landed in his tail and flames swept forward up over him. Devoured him. He arched and coiled, yelping in pain and fright, and then he screamed, a long inhuman howl of agony and terror. For one terrible second, his eyes looked at me from out of the flames, bulging and pleading." Another example of evil occurs on page 247, when Nathanial recalls his father trying to kill him. “Children should be seen and not heard' he said, and his big hand closed around my neck. And squeezed.”
