Since Robert Wringhim's life follows a predestined path, laid by God, all that he does has been sanctioned in heaven and is therefore "right". Thus, to kill one of the unchosen is merely to send a sinner to early judgement. Wringhim has a shapechanging adviser in these nefarious activities: his doppelganger, Gil-Martin, the personification of the evil side of his own nature. Fratricide, matricide and just plain, ordinary homicide are rationalized by Gil-Martin and accepted by Wringhim as necessary good works, carried out in the Lord's name.

Bleiler's selection, The Best Tales of Hoffmann.

Anyway, the real problem was updating and revising all the entries for this new, Tenth Anniversary edition .
