* TheAtoner: Burgess himself can sometimes come across as this. Many later stories repeatedly emphasized the inaccuracy of scientific misconceptions supported by earlier ones. He also covered the immorality of playing harmful pranks on others, despite pranks being a common activity for protagonists in his early works.

* EvilEggEater: Although most types of predation are treated as [[PredationIsNatural necessary for survival]], nest-raiding is regularly condemned by many characters. Attempts at egg stealing tend to be unsuccessful, and even those that do succeed are often met with swift retribution.

A later story dealing with the subject implies that such reports are misinterpreted sightings of smaller snakes being eaten by larger ones though.
