forgiveness ;
After Ramo is killed, Karana was left alone on Ghalas-at.
She was lonely and has many enemies. She was attacked by wild dogs
almost everyday. In each case she has the opportunity to take her revenge, but does'nt. In the cases of Tutok and Rontu, Karana's ability to put compassion and forgiveness above vengeance is rewarded by friendship. But her friendship with Tutok causes Karana to feel more deeply her need for human society, and after her friend's departure, Karana looks forward with renewed intensity to the day of her rescue.
