The world was shocked when the Nazi claimed that they were just following orders. In George Orwell's "A Hanging", an English officer plays a role in the execution of a native Burman in an English Imperial jail. A series of disruption on the way to the gallows force the English officer to consider his moral responsibilities in eliminating a life. The first occurrence involves a huge dog running around the yard, causing an interruption in the procedure.
