  • The Bishop treats the convict hospitably but the convict steals his silver candlesticks which were precious to the Bishop.
  • The law fails to reform convict into an honest individual instead he transform him into a beast.
  • In the beginning, the convict wishes to kill the Bishop but, later he asks for his blessings. 
  • The convict steals the candlesticks but, he is reluctant to take them when Bishop gives them to him.
  • The sergeant brings convict to the Bishop for confirming him as a thief but, the Bishop tells a lie to save him.
