Teacher reteach:
The main conflict, Ulrich's and Georg's hatred for one
another, puts them in a bind. Their misfortune causes them

care.
Evaluate what effect the setting has on the characters
and on the mood of the story.

Teacher reteach:
The harsh setting reflects the harsh feelings of the two men.
It forces each man's character change and each man's
impending doom.
