Tory can only present facts about what happened, he couldn’t write about the emotional side because it is impossible for language to accurately bear witness. The narrator’s tone reflects the disgust that he has for the Rauca, the disgust at the simplicity the Rauca has with ending hundreds of lives. For instance, the Rauca, with the “cynicism and the utmost speed” decided who would leave merely by a “flick of the finger of his right hand” (225). Tory uses words such as “fiendish”, “separated”, “blood-stained”, and “scornful” in the passage (224-226). This is important because it forms within the reader’s mind the sentiment of the selection at the Ghetto.
Both conflicts are important as they can either act as an insight into a character’s mind, serve as a moral to the story, or even as a way to show relationships between characters. In “Chronicle” there is a love conflict where the ‘labeling’ as to who is ‘evil’ and who is ‘good’ is greatly affected by both the reader’s perception and the character’s perception. This conflict is between Bayardo and Angela – he rejected her when he discovered that she was not actually a virgin. This conflict was revealed when Bayardo brought Angela back to her house, where she was then beaten by her mother. In this case, even when some readers might agree with the character’s perceptions, their reactions are thought of as too exaggerated and unnecessary.

By allowing the reader to observe the church’s hatred towards happenings that they deem peculiar, the reader builds connection to the protagonist as Winterson displays how comfortable Jeanette is with Melanie, ‘glad the Lord had brought us together’.

Mankind became fearful of God and challenged His almighty authority by creating a tower believed by many to reach Heaven. In doing so, God (a jealous God) became infuriated at His creation and smote the Mesopotamians by altering the transparency of one language into multiple tongues. This generated much fear, confusion, and chaos amongst the people and definitively thwarted the construction of the tower.
