Season's Dying Theme

In Season’s Dying, by Eugene Ziller, the author has a few main concepts and ideas within the theme. Ziller believed that it was necessary to show the different effects of social and human experience in our lives and the complications or problems that come as a result from our “dog eat dog world.” These concepts can provide some crucial meaning to the terms of human condition and human experience. The whole idea of human condition, as well as human experience, is based on human nature and how exactly we interact with society. We can establish our feelings and emotions, principles and morals, and the good and bad conflicts through this. “‘The Season’s Dying’” describes the modern world, “‘It’s dog eat dog… Nobody gives a damn for nobody else.’”

There is the “dying of innocence,” displayed throughout the whole story. The man attempted to stop the death of such a “season.” The man was one of the few people left who had a good human and social experience. This made it so the man attempted everything he possibly could do to help the boy develop a good human experience. The boy could not be helped even by the salesman because his innocence was “dying.” This was due to his poor human experience in life. If no one cared then we would all grow up with poor human experience. Through this idea, the author managed to display that even though there is danger within social experience, there is also the idea that trust and hope still exists throughout our society. This would lead us to the second concept and idea within the main theme. Since human condition and experiences varies from person to person, the boy’s innocence was destroyed and he became a victim of his circumstances, whereas the man grew from these experiences and conditions and learned how he could trust others. This idea can begin to explain the characters’ actions and why they are significant. The characters’ actions can be directly related to their experiences with

“There is a price you have to pay even for being good.” The boy in the story represents those with poor human experiences and conditions. They are the people in society that seem to have many struggles and uphill battles. As we can see, the boy rebelled and murdered the man because that is how his life was basically treating him. His human experiences taught him to be a victim of his struggles and adversities. The restaurant worker seemed to be outraged with this only because he wasn’t the “upper dog” in this situation. He seemed to be the person that most of us would be, if we were placed in this situation. The salesman reacted in the only way he knew how, which was to use his compassion for the societal victims. Looking at all of the key images, passages, descriptions, actions, and point of views can help us to understand the author’s purpose of writing the story. The author wanted to display how social and human experience is something that applies to every single one of us. Innocence is also extremely crucial because the death of it, results in the death of the real world. Innocence can have a huge impact on our human experience, so the author wanted to display this in his
