Lady: “Which one of you did it?

Which one of you killed my dog?... You don't know the meaning of the word "neighbour". Neighbours like each other -- speak to each other -- care if anybody lives or dies. But none of you do! You don't talk, you don't help, "

" the sentence for a peeping tom is 6 months in the work house" - stella. This challenges the ethics of voyeurism and the ethical implications of Jeff's actions.

“Do you suppose it's ethical to watch a man with binoculars, and a long-focus lens -- until you can see the freckles on the back of his neck, and almost read his mail -- do you suppose it's ethical even if you prove he didn't commit a crime?

Jeffries

ybutrus — 2019-02-11 00:34:35 UTC

"That's no ordinary look. That's the kind of look a man gives when he is afraid somebody might be watching him."
