Themes

things. The two characters who show greed inthe story are charles McCarthy and John

b)Charles McCarthy used his knowledge ofJohn Turner's crime to blackmailhim.Although john turner gave him everything

that he asked for,Charles McCarthy was stillgreedy for more.He wanted his son to marryJohn Turner's daughter so that he would get all

of John Turner's money when he dies.2.The uncertainties surrounding good andevill in this story,we find ourselvessympathising with Turner even though he is

the murderer.in contrast we do not have a lotof sympathies for Charles McCarthy, the manwho is murdered.

a)in Australia, John Turner robbed and killed

8/12/2019 English~9b3792

a)in Australia, John Turner robbed and killed

Charles Mc Carthy he was trying to protect his

daughter from greddy and evill man who had

been blackmailling him for almost twentyyears. he is also dying.He did not concermed

for his daughter.However,he admitted to

holmes that he would not let James beconvicted for his crime.It is for these reasons

that Holmes is willing to say nothing about

what Turner had done.He would only revealwhat John Turner had told him if it was

necessary to save James.

In his talk with Holmes,we also find out that he had spared

8/12/2019 English~9b3792

Charles life during a robbery.However that act of mercy

brought him misey later.

b)Charles McCarthy was the wagon-driver of a gold convoy that

John Turner and his gang robbed John Turner spared him his

life but when Charles met him years later in England,he used

his knowledge of Turner's crime to blackmail him.Even

though Turner gave him whatever he wanted his son to many

Turner's wealth.so Turner killed him.Yet we do not feel sorryfor him because he had ruthlessly blackmailed.Turner for years

and was obviously a very greddy and selfish man.
