For this quote, explain what was happening at that point of the novel and explain why it is important to the book. Consider plot

character, and theme.
"There is only one sin, only one. And that is theft. Every other sin is a variation of theft....When you kill a man, you steal a life. You
steal his wife's right to a husband, rob his children of a father. When you tell a lie, you steal someone's right to the truth. When
you cheat, you steal the right to fairness."

It is saying that there is consequences of the crime he has done and that cheating is not the right thing to do but it is betrayal and the opposite of forgiveness
