Lowry does not exploit suffering but makes the human a channel through which the exuberance of being volcanically ERUPTS.

Mord, peeking over the mountains to the east, he sees a Norwegian lake house in the wilderness as easy prey, but he is frustrated by the fear that despite the tiny victim size, rebuff can be painful, and this leaves him hesitant and growling with displeasure
