Instead of hating each other, people can agree to hate a particular victim or perhaps a minority group or class within society.” Because the scapegoat exist, people won’t go against each other, they have specific people they go against, to prevent themselves from being involved or being part of the chaos.

For "warmth of energy" to exist, the individual must not have had adequate time to "chill" from the incitement.

Executioners who act in the warmth of energy may murder purposefully, yet the passionate setting is a relieving element that lessens their ethical blameworthiness.

The usage of the boys’ fright of the beast helps justify Jack’s oppressive rule of the boys and the savagery he makes. He makes the beast like a type of god in order to spark the groups’ bloodlust and form a cult like perspective regarding the hunt.

Taking his motto, a few voiceless words, as law is quite an insane idea, and characterizes Montresor as a madman.
