Vera Claythorne, who let her lover’s weak nephew swim out to a rock, is mentioned to feel guilty all the time. She remembers the event whenever she is near water. In the end, she commits suicide, knowing that she should be punished for her crime. General Macarthur is also one of the characters who accepts the guilt, having sent an officer out to a reconnaissance. He knew that he would be killed, so he patiently awaited his death and advised others to do so too. Both of these characters did not have children, but if they did, their children could have been influenced by the depressed states of their parents.
