The ‘man’ in the conflict happens to be a woman who seems to have committed some serious offence or violation punishable by stoning to death. The ‘society’ in the conflict is a crowd of men who are about to carry out their judgement on the woman. These men represent the social convention that allows the shaming and violence of women. The poem takes on a narrative point of view as though telling a story of the gender violence characterized. This conflict is addressed by a preacher who interrupted the stoning of the woman. The lines, ‘Squatting on the ground - her level, writing in the dust something we couldn't read, and saw in her something we couldn't see At least until He turned his eyes on us, her eyes on us, our eyes upon ourselves,’ shows that the preacher, a male, stooped down to the same level as a woman. It represents a need for everyone to be on the same level. The last line ‘our eyes upon ourselves,’ renders introspection, they loved judging the woman but when the man turned his eyes upon them, they hated it, this shows how little respect they have for the woman. The poem ends with the lines, ‘We walked away, still holding stones, that we may throw, another day, given the urge,’ this shows that the ongoing gender conflict has not ended as the men still think they have the right to judge that woman and other women.
