"The Last Laugh" is another of Lawrence's supernatural stories, set in a dreamlike snowy London. The question left open is who the three people in the story saw on the snowy evening. Perhaps Pan, returned to destroy the Christian God, as the church is destroyed in the story, and to bring love to the frigid young woman in the form of a policeman who is prevented from leaving the house. But why the other quite harmless, and Platonic lover, had to die is a mystery. Perhaps because he had made love to a Jewess?

Evil. I have often thought of the world and all the evil I have seen. Since the beginning of time, philosophers, writers, poets, witch doctors, shamans, and ordinary men have tried to identify it, root it out, use it for their own purposes, describe it and make excuses for it. There was a difference between people who were evil and those who were truly evil. No part of their soul had any good in it and having no conscience or feelings for anyone else. Just pure, unadulterated evil. At first, they looked the same as you or I, until they revealed themselves.
