Discussion

Innocents are common in stories and echo the position of the child whose naivety leads them into danger and harm. Harming innocents thus creates emotion of outrage and horror.

Those who harm children are subject tosomething along the lines of vengeance taken for kindred upon kindred, and so those who harm the innocent maybefall the same fate, giving the viewer the satisfaction of revenge.

The loss of hope that misfortune can bring can send us into a deep despair, from which we canfind wonderful relief as we claw our way out or are rescued.
