Mrs. Carmody belief in the religious end of the world theory foreshadows the accounts of the multiple deaths that occur. These accounts include the vanity of Norm, the gluttony of Myron and Jim, the wrath of Mrs. Carmody, and the internal greed that had previously surrounded Brent Norton. There are virtues shown as well, by those who survive in David's protection; Hilda Reppler's bravery, Amanda's caring and nurturing, and of course Billy's innocence.
