Scary Stories Treasury

This blog is again on Scary Stories Treasury, or Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark. In this post, instead of a summary, or something like that, I'll be doing the conflict and theme. Wonderful Sausage is the short story this time.

The conflict in this is Man vs Man, or it even could be Man vs Society. The butcher of the town, Samuel Blunt, had an argument with his wife and killed her. To hide the murder, he grounded her body up, and buried her bones. After adding a couple indigents to his wife's meat, he displayed it, and she was available to purchase. People of the town bought it, ate it, and loved it. So demand was high for his new "special sausage." That was Man vs Man, now this is the part that gets to Man vs Society. Obviously, because of high demand, and a chance to get money (which is the reason his wife and him were fighting) he saw an opportunity. He began killing plump children, animals, and adults, that came into his shop. Into the grinder, all of them; just like his wife.

I think the theme of the story is two things. There is really nothing since it's a short movie, and a scary story. This will be kind of funny, but then kind of weird.
Try not to fight the ones you love; you'll do things you'll regret later on. Seems a bit odd, but murder is something you might regret, especially if it's your loved one.
The other one is, karma. Karma comes back, eventually. Samuel gets caught in the end...It could be a metaphor for not getting away with something so horrible without a consequence.
