Both books Broken April and The Robber and the Dogs revolve completely around vengeance. The revenge in both these books is always to the highest level different. You observe this difference mainly in the motives and methods of the protagonists. In Broken 04, the Kanun1 forced the revenge showed by Gjorg. We must understand that Gjorg planned to end traditional war between his family and Zefs mainly because death built him sick and tired, not just the outlook of declining but also Zefs death. Also this individual has practically nothing against Zef or his family nevertheless the fact that he has to kill Zef mainly because legislation required it.
However in The Robber and the Canines, Said felt angry about the way that Ilish reported his thieving activities for the police plus the manner in which his wife, Nabawaiyya, was area of the plot that will put him in jail. Even though he served as though he previously made his peace with it, he was determined to strike like fate2 because they had besides taking away his freedom, his riches and his pride, experienced also retained away his daughter, Natural, from him which angered him the most. The episode that truly strengthened his resolve was when Sana refused to realize and seemed scared of him.
Said experienced that jail lashings has not been as terrible as3 his daughter not really recognizing him. This made Said sad but he then felt that the only method to get his girl back will be to murder Ilish and Nabawaiyya, thus justifying his revenge. The way in which the characters have their vengeance has an influence on the world they reside in and the way this world expresses their feelings towards these personas is completely different in the two books. In Broken 04 we see that Gjorg has not been accepted by simply society and was shamed and even socially ostracized until he had avenged his sibling.
This can be observed in the silent ways that contemporary society prodded him to take his revenge like the manner in which the shirt that was put on by his brother if he had been slain, which was discolored with his blood vessels, was stuck unwashed as a reminder to Gjorg that he previously not yet avenged his friends death. Likewise there were little things such as people whispering in back of Gjorgs back and the transferring of mugs below the calf to symbolize the uncompleted task. Gjorg redeemed him self the day he killed Zef Kryeqyqe, while Albanian contemporary society required him to avenge the death of his brother beneath the Kanun. Gjorg too strolled in the procession4 that was going for Zefs burial and funeral.
This is very unnatural while after killing Zef he’d have been approached by violence by the Kryeqyqe clan as he had wiped out one of them, however the Kanun justifies this so that Gjorg may go to the deceaseds funeral despite the fact that he was the main one who murdered him. A year and a half following your day his brother was killed, his mother experienced finally cleaned the shirt he had put on that day5 which signified that Gjorg had used revenge and would certainly be accepted by simply society intended for killing Zef.
In The Robber and the Puppies we see having said that was approved by culture after he had served time for his crime. This is evident from the example when Stated decides to confront Ilish about his daughter and is also treated quite amicably by the detective and also other on-lookers regardless if their actions seem slightly superficial. Also this is extended to Saids ending up in Rauf, his old friend, who greets him and offers him food and gives him good advice. Down the line he also meets with an old friend who gives his aid, reassuring Said that if theres anything he needs, 6th Tarzan will be at Saids service. 7 In this manner we see that Said is usually accepted simply by society regardless if it is a bit superficial sometimes. If I arranged eyes upon you again, Rauf bellowed, Sick squash you like an insect. 8
This is what Rauf needed to say following he had trapped Said trying to steal coming from his home. Saids your life was finished, spent to no goal, he was a hunted man9 because his attempt at getting rid of Ilish had been unsuccessful and he had wiped out a Shaban Husayn rather and was now staying closely pursued for a homicide he had determined by mistake. The papers charged Said penalized mad, yearning for power and blood10 as he had bungled a different murder attempt this time on Rauf.
Rauf used this kind of opportunity to turn the people against Said by providing interviews and showing him in a very negative light for achieveing killed, at this point, two faithful bystanders. These types of incidents went society to shun Said Mahran again as in their eyes he refused to reform him self. While analysing the fatalities of Explained and Gjorg, a major chance I found was that both had been killed when they were in search of certain females, Nur and Diana correspondingly.
Their appreciate for the ladies brought these people out with their hiding spots and in to vulnerable positions. Gjorg left the road which killing of men within the blood feud was restricted. Gjorg been told by someone that the black carriage11 had been seen there and this was the carriage with the quite woman. 12 This is what determined Gjorg to leave the protected street and go to a road where the blood argument was allowed.
As soon as he got on this street he noticed the fateful words, Gjorg, give my own greeting to Zef Krye 13 Stated also left the sanctuary of the Sheikhs house to fulfill Nur a single last time because he was very certain his loss of life was around. He did not meet her and was killed inside the graveyard missing her residence. This is a strange similarity in which both males tried to satisfy the women within their lives but were killed before they could. For any moment the earth seemed to have become absolutely still14 for Gjorg as he was shot useless. But as we come across the rest of the paragraph that Gjorg seems to be depths of the mind and is aware about what is going on about him.
He slowly turns into aware along with the reader the hands15 that turn him on his backside, that maintain the rifle near his right in accordance with the rules16 are Gjorgs himself. This points to one conceivable conclusion that Gjorg can be not so mindful to what is happening around him but is merely reliving or perhaps remembering certain landmark situations in his existence. Slowly the silence was spreading, till all the world seemed gripped in a peculiar stupefaction17 in Saids mind and he seemed rather calm very much like Gjorg at after that end of his lifestyle.
But Saids train of thought is usually slightly different at this point as he even now seems slightly concerned about getting away and hopes that he or she must have received. 18 This kind of contrasts by Gjorgs loss of life as Said doesnt appear to be thinking a whole lot of his life and succumbs to his pains quicker than Said. As a result we can see that though equally protagonists carry out revenge to get very different reasons and do so in completely different ways they will meet the same end, because justice seems to have been dished up. If the two characters are compared a single tends to understand Gjorg to get his helplessness and chide Said for his rashness, irresponsibility
