The Moral Issue at Question

Already the witch had gone to look for the boy; some of them were happiest sitting and thinking while the others were content to try and appease the Giant with some other sacrifice, "to ease the Giant's simple sense of justice" they were content to offer the life of the person with the shortest straw. Still, it may be better to sit and hope that maybe the Giant would simply decide to leave them alone. So long as I can avoid giving myself up to the Giant, they each thought, all is not lost.

Not being the sort who knew their fate, each failed to appreciate the positional universality of the individual's crisis, combatting to survive along with others. All alone in a search for vitality and all together in a humanistic inevitability, they all stood for those moments in ignorance of how much they all shared in these moments. The Baker tried very hard to ask as many good questions as he could think of. Nothing was the question to save the day. Questions could not combat the Steward's high ground as one in the service of a King.

(Song about Giant's best interests sung by the Steward)

Returning with the young or otherwise maturing lad, the witch tries to serve him up, but those opposed overpower her, as she no longer has special control of elements. In the struggle, the witch manages to immitate Jack's voice, calling out for the Giant's love and affection.

The Giant's familiar attatchment to the boy rushes back to her. Sadly it does not compare with the love she has given her husband. Love from Giant to Giant is quite a thing you must understand. Jack, as the Giant saw with her ill-seeing pair of eyes, had murdered her husband and scampered off like a mouse. The Giant, in an attempt to squash the lad's voice, landed her foot right on top of the young man, his mother, the witch, and others who were close by.

Left to look over their good fortune, the "de jure" innocent bystanders picked up and moved on with what they had. It merely cost a footscrape on a tree, the loud voice echoed throughout the land, you may do your best now to live safe.

Though the Giant's grammer was below their own, they did as they were told.
