In "The Green Mile, Part 4: The Bad Death of Eduard Delacroix," Stephen King continues his serial novel with the fourth installment of the supernatural-infused prison drama. This section of the story focuses on the character of Eduard Delacroix, a small-time criminal with a cruel streak who finds himself on death row at the Cold Mountain Penitentiary. King's masterful storytelling is on full display in this installment, as he delves into the complexities of Delacroix's character and the relationships he forms with the guards and inmates on the Green Mile. The character of Delacroix serves as a foil to the kind-hearted protagonist, Paul Edgecombe, and the other guards who work on the mile. Through Delacroix's interactions with the guards, particularly the gentle and compassionate Brutus "Brutal" Howell, King explores themes of redemption, forgiveness, and the power of human connection. One of the most striking aspects of this installment is King's exploration of the death penalty and the moral implications of taking a life, even that of a convicted criminal. Through the character of Delacroix, King raises questions about the humanity of the death penalty and the impact it has on those who carry it out. As with the previous installments, "The Bad Death of Eduard Delacroix" is imbued with a sense of the supernatural, as the mysterious and powerful entity known as "the Green Mile" continues to exert its influence on the characters and events at Cold Mountain Penitentiary.
