![]() Drew Gamble (A Time for Mercy) and Carl Lee Hailey (A Time to Kill) are both on the disadvantaged end of societal scales. Setting the differences aside, however, key themes emerge from both novels: injury and revenge, the dangers of alcoholism, the desperation of poverty, and, perhaps most importantly, the dynamics of power and powerlessness. ![]() I personally read A Time to Kill after Grisham's 1991 novel The Firm, and both after their respective cinematic adaptations. These differences in plot carve enough space between the two novels so as not to detract from the pleasure of reading whichever one the reader picks up last. the boy's sister winds up pregnant by the dead man, whereas the little girl is robbed of her ability to have children of her own. the boy avenged the purported death of his mother, while the man avenged the rape of his daughter 3. a white teenager kills a white police officer, as opposed to a black mill worker killing white thugs 2. ![]() The circumstances of the killing are different: 1.
