Il giudice e il suo boia

The setting feels almost like a character itself, adding a layer of cold detachment. I'm curious whether Dürrenmatt’s own experiences or Swiss culture influenced this choice.

His moral certainty makes for a compelling character, but it also raises questions about the limits of justice. How did others interpret his sense of duty?

The pacing and narrative flow seem carefully crafted to build suspense and moral tension. Was this a conscious decision to enhance the story's philosophical themes?
