...Ultimately, Edgecomb must make a difficult choice in deciding between duty and right. To follow through with the execution of John Coffey would be to kill an innocent man - yet there is nothing that he can legally do to prevent it. Edgecomb himself expresses fear of damnation, for how could God forgive him for killing one of his messengers?

He refuses to make the hollow gesture of publishing an apology to maintain his position at the university. Aimless after his resignation, he decides to visit his daughter Lucy. She lives by herself on an isolated smallholding in the Eastern Cape that she shares with a black farmer, Petrus, in a farmhouse that previously housed...
