Epilogue Analysis

The theme of evil is once more explored, only this time it is a contrast to evil. A man walks the plain, digging holes. Who is this man? It could be Tobin or the man, somehow resurrected from his brutal killing. It could also be some unknown nemesis of the judge. Whoever he is, he seems to be a force against the judge and this can only be a good thing.
