Of Eckles In Ray Bradbury's Short Story 'A Sound Of Thunder'

The anger originated from many factors, one of which is the fact that Eckles would not stay calm and quiet while the group was trying to sneak up on the dinosaur. It was like telling a baby not to cry in a haunted house. Another contribution is the fact that Eckles did not stay on the path and arrived back at the time machine with mud on his boots. These factors are all created because of one last reason. Thirdly, Eckles died by his own stupidity.

Although when they return to the future and it has changed, they learn that Eckles had killed a butterfly. By killing something so small, and seemingly pointless, the whole future was different and the consequences were irreversible.

Tim’s expectations were not the case; instead Sam dies by being accused incorrectly of stealing his own cattle to teach other troops a lesson about how serious war is.

The repeated warning “Stay on the Path” could be interpreted as our moral compass. In the story, “The Sound of Thunder”, Eckels was instructed over and over again to “Stay on the Path”, because stepping off the path would lead to many consequences that were detrimental to the world.
