Also I was confused did both Darnays father and uncle rape the pesant who died because of a fever???

This in turn leads to the final irony of the passage. Victor speaks despairingly of the dead as ‘prey for worms and the decay of the tomb’, but it is his use of dead bodies and of the way in which decomposing matter may be reanimated that has led him into his present situation. And when he goes on to cry ‘of what materials was I made?’, he asks the same question that the monster might ask about his own origins, suggesting to the reader an increasing identification of Victor with his

Amir gets a taste of violence when he and Baba are fleeing for Pakistan and Kamal's father commits suicide. However, nothing can prepare him for the extent of violence and suffering in Afghanistann.
