Chapter 6

Chapter six contains a dark tone because of death and revenge discussed in the chapter. Lazzaro thirsts for revenge on an officer who beat him up, and now he wishes that the man is to be killed. Lazzaro is full of anger and hatred for this man which is what changes the tone of the book somewhat. Lazzaro believes revenge to be the sweetest thing and also states “anybody touches me, he better kill me, or I’m gonna have him killed” (176).
