There was no help for the curate and even if the narrator would have left him there the man would have been found and killed by the martians. The way the narrator handled the situation was actually better for the curate than if the martians would have found him alive. He made his death quick and easy so the curate wouldn't die from getting the blood sucked out of him. I have to agree with everyone else on the fact that it is one of those moments where you have to be there to know if it was the right decision or not.

The narrator was looking out for himself. Obviously the curate was such a bother that it drove the narrator so far off the edge that he killed the man. However, I don't know how else he would have handled the situation. He was facing life and death, and if the man was going to be in his way he couldn't have that. Agreeing with the person above, I have never been put in the situation that the narrator was in, and I hope that I never am. I don't know the other options that the narrator would have had to choose from. If the narrator and the curate couldn't have figured out the quirks i think it would have been much better off.

I believe that the narrator probably didn't have to kill the curate in order to shut him up, and he didn't mean to. But, when you think about it, the curate's mind was gone. There was no way for the narrator to help him and, in a way, death sort of released him from his torment. It's one of those 'I can only know if I'm in that sort of situation' moments. It's sort of like that 'buzzer' song that Mr. Shank made us listen to. Would you keep electrifying the person for money or would you stop and force yourself to live poorly. Morally, I believe it's not right to kill someone in order to look out for yourself. But if you're in the narrator's place, and your facing almost certain death and the end of the world, it's very hard to judge between what is right and what is wrong. I don't think death was the only option, but I believe it was the only option that was a sure fire way for the narrator to have a shot at surviving. It would have been better if the curate and narrator were able to work together and survive together though. It’s hard to say.
