Summary: "An Eye for an Eye" by Clarence Darrow is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Hank Clery, a switchman in Chicago who visits his old friend, Jim Jackson, in jail as he faces execution for the murder of his wife. Through Hank’s perspective, the narrative explores themes of social justice, poverty, and the circumstances that lead individuals to crime. At the start of the novel, Hank is on his way to the county jail, filled with nervousness and apprehension about visiting Jim, who is set to be hanged for the murder of his wife. Despite his previous association with Jim as a loyal friend, Hank grapples with the reality of Jim's crime, reflecting on their shared past. Once at the jail, Hank encounters a cruel and indifferent system, observing families waiting in despair to see their loved ones, all while he prepares to support Jim in his final moments. The opening effectively sets the stage for a deeper exploration of guilt, morality, and the socio-economic forces that shape human behavior. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
