In "The Mark of the Beast," how does the narrator feel about Eastern Gods at the end of the story?

Asked by cabidalarissa

Answer (3)

The narrator speaks from his previous experience that the Eastern Gods have no mercy for those who try to deal and weasel out of their punishments and their ignorance. The gods do not dole out their punishment without reason and do not punish excessively, but they punish the unjust rightfully.

At the end of 'The Mark of the Beast,' the narrator evolves from a dismissive perspective of Eastern gods to a position of respect and fear, recognizing their authority and moral framework. This transformation illustrates the conflict between Western beliefs and the powerful, justice-driven nature of Eastern deities. The narrator’s journey signifies a deeper understanding of cultural differences and the seriousness of deific authority.
