Under the Sky

In the beginning of the story Bowles is setting up the "prey' and "predator" feeling. That's the best way I could describe it. He paints a picture of  Jacinto being on the hunt for a woman. He looks around to see if he can spot "something" he likes. That's when he notices the two women and the man.

At the conclusion of the story Jacinto returns to the scene of his crime (the cemetery)  and  is so over come by guilt. He remembers the lady with the yellow hair.  It states that he " began to weep, and rolled onto the earth, clutching the pebbles as he sobbed."
 
When he did what he did, he was angry. I guess once he was no longer angry the reality of what he had done hit him in that moment.
