I would say a book. But I’m not sure. Sorry this isn’t much help!
A moral dilemma is a conflict in which you have to choose between two or more actions and have moral reasons for choosing each action.
This excerpt from section 3 of "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge", contributes to the theme of fate because <em>It suggests that Farquhar is wrestling with forces larger than himself.</em> In the first section, Peyton Farquhar is on a railroad bridge twenty feet above the water. His wrists are tied on his back and in his neck, there is a noose. He is surrounded by soldiers of the Northern army. His execution is going to take place very soon. In section 2, the narrator introduces Farquhar using a flashback to tell us that he is a planter devoted to the Southern cause. In section 3, the narrator goes back to the present and Farquhar is falling from the bridge. He is feeling pain but everything looks strange for him, the stars above him, the language that he hears, and everything appear to have a malign significance.
Past progressive I think.
