IN A GROVE

Who did the killing?
All seven of the testimonies seem to be filled with inconsistencies which made the reader confused of who really did the killing. But since we were assigned to prove and convinced our reader in the person behind the killing, I had gathered some information about it. According to the Woodcutter, Tajomaru, and Masago the Samurai wears a bluish Kimono with sword and a bow and arrow which signifies his ole being a Samurai. The old woman adds fact of Takehiko as a Samurai when she said in her confession that hr son-in-law was a Samurai in the town of Kukufu in the province. As what you have read above, I am focusing to what I will going to reveal later in this writing. To lead you not into confusion but further comprehension I would nor reiterate the other characters testimony in the killing. But to open the bewilderment of this case, some proof that the other characters are not the one killed even though they said they are.
Tajomaru did not intend to kill Takehiko but Masago insisted. In accordance to the killing situation, Masago`s capability to kill her husband because of shame, guilt and anger couldn`t convinced me in the fact that she is the one who killed Takehiko because as a woman who said to be more gentle and soft-hearted than man believes to not be so cruel especially in killing her love ones. And in fact the mother of Masago proved that Masago is devoted to her husband, by this it is impossible that she is the one who killed Takehiko. In the side of Tajomaru whom suspected by the policeman and commissioner to be the killer was i believed to be untrue, because in the first place the main reason of Tajomaru luring them is to get the promised of swords and mirrors. the high police commissioner testified, the weakness for women and case of robbery of Tajomaru which tends to be the only focus why Tajomaru appeared in the story as said to be the killer.
The testimony trough a medium of Takehiko himself proved that he commits suicide. Going back to the focus of revealing to you of who the real killer was, I have gathered information regarding Takehiko`s stand as a Samurai. A Samurai obeyed a strict moral code which was called Bushsido, or "the way of the warrior". It applied both and off the battlefield. They were prepared to commit suicide if it was a matter of honor. In connection to what the murdered man encountered when he saw his wife being rape by the robber without his help to stop him Tajomaru made him look weak and pale. In addition, it was said also that when a Samurai lose in a battle it is better for him to commit suicide, in like manners , Takehiko was lose in battling with Tajomaru. Moreover, when his wife convinced by the robber to go with him, it cause the Samurai to agonized by jealousy. Moreover, the time that woman said to Tajomaru, "Kill Him! I cannot marry you as long as he lives", took Takehiko in anger, regret, betrayal and dishonor. With those words came from Masago, the part of Takehiko as her husband was not yet honored, in that case, it is the reason why the murdered man killed himself.
