In this exam, I will examine Andre Dubus' short story "Kill ing" and the main character of the story. The story begins on a warm August day and the youngest son Frank of Matt and Ruth Fowler is buried. Frank's age: "21 years, 8 months, 4 days" (Dubus 107). The funeral was Matt, his wife Ruth, their adult children and their spouse. The family of Matt was very sad about the murder of their youngest child / brother in their own way. I want to kill Richard Straut, who is accused of being a murderer.

"Murder" is an excerpt from the story "Search girls in America". "Killing" is a story about elements such as sex, murder, revenge and so on. The title of the story, the method of developing the character, and the order of the event will differ according to the story. As the plot reveals its own unique sequence, this story effectively evokes suspense and emotion. It may be easy to ignore, but the title of the story is very important. The title "kill" left many doubts to the reader. The title will encourage questions about what to kill or who. If the title is "killer" or "murderer", you can easily make a wrong story hypothesis. Any of these titles will make the reader think about a certain mass murder and leave some suspicion. The title is important for setting the atmosphere of the plot

History says that the first crime a person commits against others is murder. There are many things that can cause murder, such as love, hatred, jealousy, revenge. Faulkner's short story "A Rose for Emily" and Dubs' novel "Kill ing" represents the idea of ​​murder, love, jealousy and revenge. But in the two stories, love and murder are presented in different ways. Emily lady abandoned her in "Rose for Emily" so she killed her beloved Homer. The cruel death of his son. In fact, love and affection played an important role in these murder cases. Love is blind and sometimes becomes a murderer. These two stories tell us that for love, this passionate love motivates us to murder people.
