who is "the guilty party" at the end of the text, and how do his actions contribute to
the story's theme?
[rl.
the story is called “the guilty party”

The guilty party at the end of the story is Lizzie's father John.

John's neglecting of her daughter Lizzie in her childhood contributes to the story's theme of guilt, responsibility, betrayal, and redemption.

Explanation:

"The Guilty Party" is O. Henry's short story from 1909.

In the start of the story it is narrated through third person point of view, and some times by Lizzie's first person narration that Lizzie as child loves her father a lot. But her father keeps neglecting her, and does not give her time. It is apparently because he is busy with his business but on deeper level, he representing a typical father in a male dominant society of late nineteenth and early twentieth century, does not want to spend time with his child.

In the next part Lizzie as an adult is engaged to Kid, but he too behaves just like her father. He betrays Lizzie by dancing and spending more time with Annie. This frustrates Lizzie who as an act of redemption kills Kid.

The court officer wants to give Lizzie a benefit. He wants Lizzie to be judged based on the real cause behind her action. He considers Lizzie's father a real guilty party, for neglecting his child when she needed his time and attention needed to guide her in proper and appropriate manner.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
