Can you understand why Esther killed Laurence? Can you accept that she did so?
In this story, it shows that people's relationships are very complicated. We can't think about what will be happen after the incident break out in this relationship. Here Esther, Laurence and Father Paul they all have different background, so they have a different thought about their relationship. One major event of this story is that Esther killed Laurence. Esther was in emotional instability situation because she was suffering from homesickness. However, what deepen Esther's emotion was Father Paul's statements which is composed of discriminative context. At last, when this emotional instability reaches its peak, she committed a murder.
I could understand about why she has suffered from emotional instability, but nothing can justify the murder. She could have emotional instability about the life in missionary school and what Father Paul said. However, she should have relieved her emotional conflict in other way, not killing Laurence.
I had either experienced when I was suffering from emotional instability like loneliness and feeling betrayal to someone who I believed. In this situation, no one could take a back step and consider about the problem rationally. In my case, I had my own time and not thinking about the situation and just doing something else which make me forget about the uncomfortable memory.
In conclusion, I can understand the situation which she is placed in. However, what she had committed isn't vindicable to say that was a good way to releasing her emotional conflict inside her. Therefore, the action which took Laurence's life away is not acceptable.
