"Toward no one in the world did he feel any fear now, for he knew fear was useless; and toward no one in the world did he feel any hate now, for he knew that hate would not help him" (273)
This makes me feel really bad for him. He's so pathetic here, and lost. He's trapped, and I know he deserves it, but I can't help but pity him, because I don't necessarily see this as all his fault. I mean, of course it's his fault that Bessie and Mary are dead; I don't blame anyone but him, but I still feel like he, obviously, was forced into a corner and had no other way out. And now, the people who forced his back against the ropes, are persecuting him for fighting back. It was a lose/lose situation from the start for him
