The stage play “Dr. Cook’s Garden” by Ira Levin is set Greenfield Center, a village in the state of Vermont where all the right people seem to die. The titular Dr. Cook is the town’s only doctor as well as a complex character, with skewed moral values, an emphasis on secrecy, and, in his eyes a great and important burden to carry.
POINT 1. – Skewed views on morality
Over the course of his career as a doctor, Leonard Cook kills a total of 33 people. Halfway through page 33 in the script book he tries to justify the murders, believing that they are nothing but just and are balanced by the lives he has saved over his career. This clearly displays a skewed view on human morality, as his justifications for these murders seem to make perfect sense
