Shooting An Elephant analysis Dilemma

DILEMMA
INTRODUCTION
PROBLEM # 1
PROBLEM # 2
The narrator sees the elephant has calmed down, and no longer poses a threat, but the crowd behind him is anxious for him to do something.
If the narrator tries to gauge the elephant’s aggression, he could get stuck in the mud, panic, and be killed by the elephant in front of the spectators who will probably just laugh. If he walks away, he will also be seen as a fool and a coward.
If the narrator shoots the elephant, he will be harming the owner financially because the elephant is an important labor animal. In addition, the narrator doesn’t want to kill the animal-- he feels guilty for shooting an animal for being an animal, and especially because he no longer poses a threat.
