Exploring the significance of oaths, the book delves into how they shape the obligations of individuals and influence societal expectations. Beginning with Aeschylus's assertion that a man's character determines the weight of his oath, it examines stories from various professions, including doctors and presidents. The narrative raises critical questions about the morality of keeping or breaking oaths, especially when adherence may lead to injustice. It challenges readers to reflect on their own commitments and the societal pressures that can complicate moral decisions.
