Author: John Wyndham
In the novel, the Chrysalids written by John Wyndham, the sea land woman justifies the killing of the Fringe people and the Waknuk posse by explaining that their society is too violent and primitive to allow them to exist. It would not allow the natural evolution of the species, and killing the “Thought Makers” would not allow that evolution. I agree that the Sea land women was right about how the Waknuk people could not be allowed to hinder the evolution of the species, but I also think that killing the Waknuk posse and the fringes people was wrong and unnecessary.
