Answer:
"The Guilty Party" is short story William Sydney Porter (pen name O. Henry).
Explanation:
The central idea of the story that author tries to present in the story was to bring to the light the role of responsibility of parents towards their children. Lizzie's father whom the author describe as <em>"A red-haired, unshaven, untidy man.." </em> is the figure that the author has pictured to reveal the traits of irresponsible parents. Lizzie's father is a self-indulgent and selfish person who does not spend time with her,
<em>"Papa, won't you play a game of checkers with me if you aren't too tired?"
</em>
<em>
</em>
<em>The red-haired, unshaven, untidy man sitting shoeless by the window answered, with a frown.
</em>
<em>
</em>
<em>"Checkers. No, I won't. Can't a man who works hard all day have a little rest when he comes home? Why don't you go out and play with the other kids on the sidewalk?"
</em>
Because he did not spend time with his daughter, Lizzie, in her childhood, she face a bad fate in the end of the story.
