Man vs.
Society
The boys'
destruction of Old Misery's house is their way of making a statement to society and
their neighborhood; it is their way of making a name for themselves and building
notoriety. The Wormsley Common gang does not approve of what the fine, old house
represents; their act of destruction can be seen as revenge against a society that has
betrayed them.

Man vs.
Environment
Another main conflict within
"The Destructors" is the way in which the boys methodically battle the inner workings of
the old house. T employs his technical know how to guide the rest of the gang in their
destructive quest to raze the house from the inside out. The boys physically battle the
inner workings of the house with sledge hammers, crowbars, and even their hands,
attacking the plumbing, the paneling, the electrical wiring, all in an attempt to bring
Old Misery's house down.
