friend" "But there was nothing that he would say, nobody to say it to." "He wanted to go to his mother [...] But he never
did go to her, he made himself cope alone." "Kingshaw's father and Turville"s father had watched and laughed, and
looked away again, blind, unaware." "I think they may be friends." "Edmund will be like any other healthy boy. I am not
to blame [...] he felt exonerated." "They talked at length about their children, knowing nothing of the truth." "She was
anxious, now, to care for them both equally, not to make a favourite of her own son." "she worried a good deal about
her own capacity for motherhood, about wether she said the right things and looked sufficiently at ease, in his
presence." "I think I know what is best for you."

- Nature of evil
- Characters
- Edmund
- cold, secretive, isolated, doesn't want to share his
house, evil....watchful approach, unresponsive to
father, he sees if he gain control, Hooper's fears
are forgotten, lack of conscience, doesn't reflect
so no thoughts of him, mind s blank when he
creates trouble, triumph on Kingshaw's death, still
a child,
- "Hooper wanted to know what was going on inside his head" "Hooper was unpredictable,
clever, inventive." "Hooper's fear was a straightforward response to an outside situation.
Bt his own was quite different, and Hooper had the measure of it, he had done so from
his first day at Warings." He had the same cold way of looking/ nobody must come here/
Hooper watched/ blank/ and a spurt of triumph went through him

- Helena
- doesn't understand son, lives in future, fake, no man and lonely so wants to settle down,
unaware of impression she puts, false way of speaking

away my chance" "I must think of myself a little
more." she looked at him and did not
understand/ how right I was to come here/ he
hated his mother more than anybody/
"Kinghshaw's mother's an old tart" "she wears
dangly earings" "made a little gesture of
surprise and pleasure.""'we maybe anywhere,
by then, we may not still be here.'" "clipping

green costume." "He hated his mother more
