comment |
Ambiguous Innocence: Ray Bradbury's "The Fire Balloons": Bradbury explored the idea of an entire species of innocents, by using a human missionary who wants to save the Martians' souls. He eventually discovers that their souls do not need saving. This is not presented as making the Martians bad so much as making humanity tragic because we are comparatively destined to sinfulness. |
