Hana believes that the American prisoner was a 'menace, living or dead' as Tom was an American soldier and Japan was at war with America during that time. Thus, helping him would be like helping the enemy which was considered a crime.
Explanation:
- The story titled 'The Enemy', penned by Pearl S. Buck is set during the time of second world war when Japan was at war with America.
- When Sadao found the wounded man on the beach and discovered that he was a white man, Hana said that 'the kindest thing to do with him would be to put him back into the sea.'
- Hana considered him to be a menace as he was an American and sheltering him would be a crime in that situation.
- However, Dr. Sadao fulfills his duty as a doctor and shelters him in his house and saves his life.
