24: Situational Irony

    The sermon delivered at church could not be any more fitting than it was when the Grangerfords' and Shepherdsons' attend at the same time. The sermon was "all about brotherly love, and such-like tiresomeness." It is ironic because the families have a deep hatred for one another, and will not ever bond as brothers. This is further emphasized as they hide their rifles with them in the church. They have basically been at war for quite some time now. This feud does not even begin to fade after what the characters stated was a good sermon, but instead climaxes with a gun battle in the woods. This results in the death of Buck, his father, brothers, and cousin, along with a couple Shepherdson family members.
