        <description><![CDATA[The narrator, Bonaparte, and Donovan differ in their view of the world.  Donovan is more narrow-minded.  In common phrases, he sees the world in only black or white.  Either something is good or it is bad.  There is no in-between, no shades of gray.  The prisoners are English.  They have been captured because the Irish are in the midst of a rebellion.  It matters not who these two men are as individuals.  Their role is as English...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The symbolism of Bonaparte's name says a great deal about his developmental changes.  Like the Bonaparte of O'Connor's story, the real Napolean Bonaparte was the cause of hundreds of senseless deaths and viewed by many as a traitor.This like-named character did not begin as a charlatan. In Section I of O'Connor's story, Bonaparte views himself as a congenial man; one who considers his prisoners as friends rather than enemies.  He even...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[There are four tones, each claiming one of the four sections of O'Connor's short story:  contentment, disillusion, tension, and regret.  Section 1 finds Bonaparte, the Irish Rebel and narrator in a jovial mood with his &quot;prisoners,&quot; two Englishmen named Belcher and Hawkins.  So genial are the three, (as well as the other Irish Rebel, Noble), that Bonaparte wonders  &quot;what the hell we wanted guarding them at all for&quot;...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In this story, the conflicts go from very broad social and political conflicts and funnel down to the more specific personal conflicts of the individual characters.  In the broad sense, this is a story about the struggle between England and Ireland.  Ireland has been under English control for centuries and wants its independence.  This story takes place during the Irish Rebellion, and two Englishmen are being held captive.  That is the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Jeremiah Donovan is the officer in charge of the group of Irish rebels. Unlike Bonaparte and Noble, he does not regard the English prisoners as friendly acquaintances.

In this way, you could say that the theme is of duty, Donovan understands his duty and all parts of it, while the others want to do part of their duty but don't want to think about the hard parts.]]></description>
